A revolver can’t be loaded nearly as fast as a magazine fed semi auto, practiced shooter or not.
Miculek used moon clips for his record. Most revolvers aren’t cut for moon clips, and most shooters will never be as fast as Jerry Miculek, even if they use moon clips. If you have ever used moon clips you know they are temperamental, and they don’t get better if you carry them around for a few days.
That being said, I think that there are some good reasons people to decide to carry revolvers. I think personal preference can greatly aid proficiency along with copious amount of practice.
I have two 625-3s, one 3” and one 4”
I can’t help it. When Word Perfect 5.0 for DOS came out, it included a grammar checker that compared my writing to Hemmingway, the Gettysburg address, and an insurance policy. It also noted all use of passive versus active voice.
It regularly called me vague and pretentious for overuse of adjectives. (Plus, my mother was an English teacher.)
both of mine are the same JMs.... My daughter Jones’d so bad over the first one she wheedled it out of me and I replaced it. Later I bought it back from her. Really nice revolver....
You can shoot 45 Autorims in the 625....also in the Model 22 (which is the SW replica of the 1945 45DA). The Governor is cut for moon clips but they say not to use autorims in them.... Have all three...
The more I shoot
Semi-Automatics the more I like REVOLVERS!
But Laz,
How do You pick Your Nose?
I agree with you. Politics has nothing to do with it!
I don’t do “warning shots”, three to the center of mass is the only proper use of expensive ammunition!
My .45 ACP revolvers are a Smith 1917 and 1955 Target cut down to 4” and very slicked up.
I’ve got one of those 1917 S&W in .455 rechambered to .45 Long Colt. Had to put a Wonder Sight on it. Shoots very well!
