You have a single or double action wheelgun? If double, you keep a
chamber empty for safety's sake? If so, that means the G34 mag holds
more than three times the number of rounds.


How is that 17 round magazine legal? Pre-ban?

Nope. Perfectly legal in Maryland.


I'm not sure how you can say the semi-auto is "inherently" more accurate
than a revolver. A barrel is a barrel. The same bullets pass through
them.

How they get to the barrel matters.

True. However, I much prefer revolvers because they are simpler,
easier to reload (quicker actually) and easier to handle.

Their major disadvantage is number of rounds, but accuracy more than
makes up for it.

Revolvers are inherently more accurate due to construction. The barrel is
fixed. The older 1911 mdl colt 45 auto, suffered accuracy as the barrel
floated in the slide. It could move with the force of the propellant
expanding. They fixed this by adding a collet at the front of the barrel.
When the slide went forward, it locked the barrel in position. Is the Gold
Cup model.
