Your self defense gun - revolver or semi-auto?

[wannadiesel]

No gun forum would be complete without a revolver vs. semi-auto poll. I'm a revolver guy myself. I like the simplicity and rock-solid reliability of a revolver.

I'm just oppiset i like semi-auto. i like haveing lots of rounds. as i'm a bad shot.

I like semi. I carry a Smith and Wesson 9mm mod 469

Personally, I like both. Carrying concealed, open, range or any other use they both have their place and I've owned both kinds and prefer both.

I've never had a revolver jam. I know I've got six for sure. But I like shooting the semiautos too!

I carry both. It depends on where I am and what I am doing. As my autos are all full sized they have their place while a snubbie is useful at other times.

I have had a revolver break a frame mounted firing pin. Fortunately it was a range session and not a confrontation but they do break.

Why limit myself to just one type? I don't wear only one set of footwear or one jacket. Tailor it to the situation. I've carried derringers a time or two when even my J-frame was too big to hide.

i'm a fan of the semi-auto's for carrying. i get 14 rounds instead of 6 that way. but for hunting i have used a 44 mag and a 454 casual!! now that was fun!!

Good reply Adaminak! I voted Semi-auto and regularly carry but forgot about the NAA .22 mag I've slipped into my pocket on many occasions when I had to dress up or go for a run. I wonder if I'm the only person who's carried a pistol to a church wedding in a 3 piece suit and tie? LOL....

... God I hope not.
