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.- Hide quoted text -

I know a guy who shot himself in the foot pulliing a pistol out of a
holster. Now I know you are going to jump all over this one and tell
me everything he did wrong. Then I will tell you that I was not there,
and know as much about the incident as you do. Anyway, you asked why a
safety on a pistol? I give you my answer although I do not know if he
had a "holster that's correct for the situation at hand". I alway left
when firearms came to a party;) Back then if a gun showed up either
somoeone was drunk, or someone was going to get hurt or both.


The trigger finger *always* points straight forward as the gun is drawn from
the holster. Always. Nobody taught that guy correctly. And, a correctly
designed holster completely encloses the trigger guard.

If I liked everything else about a gun, the presence of a safety wouldn't
keep me from buying it. Another "safety" involves not carrying with a round
in the chamber. With practice, you can work the slide *very* fast without
interrupting things.

Oh deer!

Geeez. I'm pretty sure I've never seen a SA hammerless .357 mag. But
there's a lot of pistols I've not seen. If it is hammerless, how do you
cock it?

I don't think that's an accurate assessment. Migratory and non-migratory Canada geese are different

No - goose dogs.

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.

Don't you mean that the other way around? My Highway Patrolman shoots .38's
but is a .357 magnum frame (and shoots them!).

Nope - just the way I spake it.

He said it was SA. I don't have that much experience with revolvers, but
all the SA revolvers I have handled required that one cock the hammer
before one could fire the trigger.
