I guess you have never watched any of the IDPA guys. I doubt I'll encounter one in a gunfight. The point is if you watch the competitions you will see that even these highly trained shooters take longer to load a revolver than a semi auto. You also get more rounds in a magazine than a speed loader, maybe 3x or more. I think Harry thought you meant 'single action' when you used 'SA' way back when. Then Harry began talking about S/A revolvers as though that's what you meant. Surely he's not trying to say it's faster to load a revolver, even with a speed loader, than to pop out and pop in a magazine in a SA. I thought he was talking about single action revolvers, too. Loading a double action revolver is faster, as is emptying the spent brass. When I took my first firearms safety course out at a range off of Route 50 out near Dulles airport, the instructor spent a lot of time explaining how to clear problems that arise with semi-auto pistols...stovepipes, failures to fire, et cetera. I had a round jam tight once in a rented Glock out at a range. I didn't want to mess with it, so I put the pistol down, facing in the proper direction, and called over the range officer. He was glad to take care of the problem for me. You might have an occasional problem with a revolver, but it probably isn't going to be because of the round. I don't dislike semi-auto pistols, but if my life depended upon a handgun, I'd prefer it to be a Smith & Wesson or Ruger .357 Mag double action revolver. Pull the trigger and it is going to go bang. Knock on plastic, I never had a problem with the .357s I've owned or just shot from either manufacturer. After firing a hundred or so wad cutters in the Model 28, I've had the trigger become too hard to pull because of crud on the front of the cylinder. Scraping the crud off with a pocket knife gets it back into business again. Hopefully you can put down your attacker without needing a couple hundred rounds. |
