The gun is your brass knuckles. Carry something with some steel in it.

It appears to me that most of these modern day CCW revolvers are averaging 4 shots, depending on caliber and make.

4 shots is way too few, imo.

I don't get how they can average 4 shots. You can get common carry revolvers in 5 to 8 shot capacity (yes, I know a 627 feels like carrying a large potato). Am I missing all the 1, 2, 3, and 4 shot revolvers?

A hand gun is only meant to provide temporary fire power so you can reach proper defensive weaponry.

I've heard that silly saying way too many times. When you're out and about your pistol or revolver is your only defensive weaponry. Whatever happens is going to happen there. There is no other weapon you're going to get to.

Not practical in the real world just use a high capacity firearm or extended mag with target practice if needed

And add another round to the chamber than gives you an extra

I think you are grossly underestimating the risks of a band of Al Qeida frogmen coming out of your nearest manhole cover.

Revolvers are boring stupid and antiquated. You’ll enjoy this if you’re a revolver guy.

I’ve gone from carrying a J-frame with 5 rounds to a Hellcat with 13 rounds. I think that is enough. Not a lot of gangs hang around the hardware store, the tack & feed store or are out at 8 AM on a Saturday.

When the mobs of deer stampede, 30-round mags will be a essential tool for survival...

What can it hurt to carry a spare mag? Yes, odds are you’ll never need it but how many broke bettors do you know who always play the odds? I’ve taken to wearing light weight pants with zippered pockets down both legs. My wallet goes down the right side which frees me from sitting on it and is zipped. And my extra mag goes in the left leg with the zipper unzipped for quick access. Works for me.

Getting killed for lack of shooting back is just plain embarrassing.

A strong argument can be made that reloads virtually never happen in civilian self-defense

Except when they do.

No one EVER, in the history of the world, has ever said, "Oh, I wish I had less ammo, that would solve my problem."

It just does not happen.

Except when they do.

Years ago, on a concealed carry forum, there was a discussion about poolside concealed carry. One person indicated it is possible to install a skimmer-looking well that is actually a firearm storage well.

One angry commenter said, basically, you’re all paranoid and who is going to rob a bunch of people by the pool?

A poster replied, basically, that’s precisely why it’s prudent to have this discussion; it’ll never happen, until it does.
