Semi autos just aren't as sexy! :cool:

All these people like to push the fact that guys like Jim Cirillo won countless gun fights with revolvers up against guys with long guns. Cirillo pretty much defined New York reload; he would transition to a second or third gun when the previous one went dry. He would simply turn loose of the empty gun, letting it fall to the ground.

 

Jim was also a ridiculously talented and skilled shooter with a zillion rounds downrange and ice water in his veins, and that's what I think helped him more than anything.

I prefer revolvers. I like mechanical simplicity and frankly, I'm a better shot with one. I always carry a speed loader or two, and do practice reloading with them.

I know my reflexes aren't anywhere near what they were 20-30 years ago.  I depend on the experience gained during those years to keep me from the need to be as fast as I once was.
