I'd take a Glock 34 any day over that wheelgun. Fully legal mag on

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.



How does that affect the accuracy? They still all pass though a barrel.

I know how that can affect the reliability, but that tend to favor the
revolver.

Revolvers rule!! Semi-auto's drool!! :)

Only for accuracy. As a weapons officer of the one of Bay area PD's told me
a long time ago when I use to duck hunt. The average police gun fight has 9
rounds expended and no one is hit. Hard to aim when diving for cover.
Also, he said the other problem he had with new officers, was the belief
that a shotgun could clear the room. The did not understand that the shot
pattern was less than a 10" diameter circle across an average room.
