In a citizen involved shooting, you'll rarely need more than 5-6 shots. I carry extra ammo, but I don't expect to survive a sustained gunfight, even with a semi auto. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] esc@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago (3 children) Not to disagree with your choices, but what is your threat model that you can use a revolver to neutralize? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] Zen_Shinobi@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (2 children) I'm out in the woods a lot and I just like the SAA. But coyotes, black bears, humans. I run Hormandy Critical Duty/Defense 185 grain hallowpoint. Just because it's old or single action, doesn't mean it wont stop a person. These pistols have proven themselves in many many battles/wars. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] esc@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago (1 child) Pistols and revolvers were sort of a status symbol in modern warfare not so much a weapon, I think. Tbh I won't even carry my rifle because well it's mostly useless in any type of combat unless you train every second day and shoot a lot. I once had to shoot a wild hog, wasn't a fun experience - dumb, tough and stubborn. Hope you won't need to use yours any time soon. 😊 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Zen_Shinobi@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago Ok? I'm not open carrying my AR just to go shopping at walmart lol. (not that I'm against the idea but long guns suck getting/out of vehicles and tight space). I've heard hogs are "fun" to hunt. Sadly my state outlawed hog hunting last year. Not that Ohio has a huge outbreak of them compared out west. Glad you are ok though. I hope I don't either ;) permalink fedilink source parent
