My choice.

It belonged to one of my VFW members who passed away was still in the box from the 80s and no sign of being fired.
I am Honored to have it

What about levers or bolts? It all depends on what end of the house I'm at when the situation presents itself.

I use both a 38 snubbie and a 9mm semiauto. For summer carry I usually choose the 38 but sometimes I carry the 9mm semiauto. For home defense, both are grabbed at the same time. If I think I need more fire power, I reach for the 12 ga short barrel pump.

The problem with America is stupidity. I’m not saying there should be capital punishment for stupidity, but why don’t we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

Inherently, it is a fact that revolvers are more reliable. That does not make them infallible. I had a revolver break the part that the trigger pushes the hammer back and lets it go with. Forgive the ignorance, I forgot what it is called, it was on a S&W 686. I don't blame anything or anyone, stuff happens.

I got a Sig p226 shortly after that. After 24 years and 1000's of rounds, I have had one failure to eject on a round I loaded too lightly. That is it. Can't beat that.

Same here. Only fail-to-feed problem was cheap, gun show reloads.

Always preferred the snubby for concealed. More convenient and alot of bang for the buck.
