He keeps saying if he needs more than five rounds, it's more trouble than he can handle and he doesn't have a chance, even though he admits that you have to watch out for the threat's friends. <br /><br />What is odd is that most of the pocket .380s and 9mms didn't pop up until after the AWB expired. And most of those don't even have a capacity of over 7 to 8 rounders e.g. Beretta Nano, S&W Shield, LCP and LC9.Paralushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18237133841423658945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098674444128189886.post-5327586022934914232013-02-07T08:17:20.564-06:002013-02-07T08:17:20.564-06:00I keep hearing everyone say 10 rounds is not enoug...I keep hearing everyone say 10 rounds is not enough, but in my department I've never heard of more than 5 to maybe 6 shots being fired. Most of these engagements have been from farther away than most shootings actually occur. Revolvers are still great carry guns. I think most statistics show a gun fight lasts less than 2.5 sec. you pull your gun and it doesnt go bang under high stress you will try pulling the trigger 4 to 10 times before your brain says shit it didn't shoot. A revolver just rolls over to a new round. at least 1 out of 5 will go bang. I've also heard you can't hit anything beyond 20 feet with a snubby from the "youtube experts" most people watch. I call bullshit. I can x ring mine at 25 yards all day and I'm not that great with a handgun. Oh and I hear the when revolvers jam you need to take them apart to fix them. This is correct cause it wont really jam 99% of the time it is broke. So if you clean it and keep it repaired it will go bang. Sorry I'm tired of the revolver bashing. Oh another thing I can punch you in the ribs with my revolver and make a contact shot. Try that with most autos. Given the trigger is longer, but they are damn smooth. just stay away from the Rossi, Taurus, and charter revolvers. You can get good ones, but more of a chance to get a bad one.Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12550360767055796084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098674444128189886.post-4624038786160443532013-02-06T22:17:21.240-06:002013-02-06T22:17:21.240-06:0010 rounds is not sufficient enough to account for ...10 rounds is not sufficient enough to account for stressful situations especially if you have to return fire. The Glock 23 comes with factory 13 round mags, and accepts the 22 mags which are 15 rounds with no adapter. Revolvers are fun to collect, not good enough for protection. Granted, most gun owners or non shooters will make the remark that you need to be more proficient but when it comes down to it, more rounds are better to account for error. When you have that hi-cap to bail you out it's certainly a more comfortable situation. Kuechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09258716793172051060noreply@blogger.com
