[USS Alaska]

A revolver is a semi-automatic, every time you pull the trigger, a single shot is fired, just like a gas operated, auto-eject weapon.

One spews its spent shells out onto the ground, the other keeps them in the cylinder until emptied and replaced.

In the revolver, you have a speed loader, that permits reload of the entire cylinder with one device, like the replacement of a magazine.

The gas operated weapon is faster, and I own both, but my preference is a S & W 357 Magnum, loaded with hollow points.

Any gun is better than a hammer, because even when out of ammo, use can use the gun as a hammer:)

Any gun is better than a hammer, because even when out of ammo... can use the gun as a hammer:)

I think there is a lot of truth in KYJim's Rules of Carry:

1. Any gun is better than no gun.

2. A gun that is reliable is better than a gun that is not.

3. A hole in the right place is better than a hole in the wrong place.

4. A bigger hole is a better hole.
