A semi-automatic is much more practical, but I love the revolvers. And I figure I’ll use for defense what I shoot all the time. Heck, I had a Ruger 45 acp that I gave to my brother-in-law because after 20 years of owning it, I still hadn’t emptied the original box of ammo!
Besides...a single action reminds me not to stand in one spot and just keep pulling the trigger. Shoot, move, shoot, move.
But when I was in Afghanistan, I didn’t mind carrying an M9...and M4!
It makes good sense to use what we’re most familiar with. I hadn’t thought about single action in regards to fire-and-maneuver. That makes sense, too, for any situation allowing for using cover. Thanks!
Carried an M-16 (and M-203 and M-60) off and on for the National Guard for seven years. 12B MOS. More recently, I think they’re 21Bs.
Living in the middle of nowhere, here, and looking at rifle possibilities, thought I’d try a semi-auto AR with a 16” barrel and carbine-type handguard. It’s weird. Seems like it’s made more for munchkins than men. ;-)
