For some strange reason, revolvers do not appeal to me. Am I the only one?

I have several revolvers for the magnum loads, but none in 9mm. I wouldn’t normally carry a revolver, unless I was in Alaska or some area that had dangerous large predator animals that required some substantial firepower for takedown. Around here, if walking in the woods, I’d probably feel safe with one of my 10mm carry options (either my 1911s, or Glocks)

The main attraction of a revolver is reliability and simplicity. No slide to rack, no safety to flip, etc. I can see the attraction for someone who is not as familiar or proficient with firearms. I would probably give one to my wife for example, if she wanted something by the bed while I am out of town. I'll stick with .38 or .357 or other rounds that don't require a moon clip however.

I can see the simplicity which can be attractive to some. Good point.

And that is why a DA versus a SA revolver is recommended for self defense as well. With a SA revolver, it may be difficult to fire one handed for some folks, especially in the heat of the moment. And reloading takes time, one round at a time. DA - swing the cylinder out, eject the old, in with the new, swing the cylinder back in until it clicks in place.
