I have said for years that the reason is due to 13 round
semi-auto
hand guns.

With a revolver, you only have six - makes you concentrate.
One of my favorite gun technique books suggests taking only 6
rounds to the range, no matter what kind of handgun you're
shooting. Good idea.
All my kids were trained that way. In fact, when my youngest went
to
the Academy in SC, he noticed that the more bullets they were
issues,
the more the used them.

He took his time, minimum shots and did well.

It's the revolver training.

I have a 9mm Glock, but I never carry it unless I'm in the woods.
For
just carrying purposes, it's a .357 mag on a .38 frame.
I wouldn't "carry" a semi without a real safety, either, though I do
like shooting a Glock at the range. Is that a single or double
action .357?
All semis have a "safety". One is the owner (hopefully). The other is
a holster that's correct for the situation at hand. If you still
believe a mechanical safety is needed, please explain why, in light
of the fact that revolvers don't have them.
It takes a bit more effort to fire off a revolver, especially a
single-action revolver which, if I "carried," would be what I would
carry. The Glocks I fire have no more than a five pound trigger pull,
and despite the "famous" Glock trigger mechanism, I can envision ways
it might get snagged or caught somewhere in the process of drawing it.

My two semi-autos have "safeties."
This is silly. If you can't control your finger:

- Don't put your finger inside the trigger guard.
- Get to the hospital. You've had a stroke.

Take up your complaint with Ruger and Sig. :}

Nope. Don't have any of those Rugers.

complaint...". I had no complaint. What did you mean?
