I’m a bullsye shooter and enjoy going online to read reviews and forums about guns. I’m always disappointed when I read rude or crude comments. I’m not a prude but feel this childish behavior diminishes the image of all legitimate shooters.

I’m extremely impressed by the comments I’ve read here and learned a lot. I’ve come to expect first class from everything Mas does and have never been disappointed. I’m 68 so I can fully identify with the pro-revolver comments expressed above.

Thanks very much for a very interesting article. I share your respect for the revolver and for whatever reasons have reverted back to using the double-action revolver more than my semiautomatics. (Truth be known, part of that is that as the decades slide by, it gets farther and farther to the ground to pick up brass for reloading!)

At the current time, my “house guns” are S&W Model 10′s and 64′s loaded with Remington’s “FBI Load”. (These guns have been convereted to DAO as well.) Some will look down at my choice of an “obsolete” handgun and “inadequate” caliber but these can be handled by my wife…who cannot handle anything more in “power” and who is not a shooter. I do not feel “undergunned”, but do practice quite a lot with not only these handguns but others as well.

I appreciate younger shooters seeing the positive side to the DA revolver and thank you for your splendid article.

I started with revolvers in the early 50′s and when I enlisted in 62, they swapped me over to autos. When I retired in 84, I went back to my revolvers. Carry a 44 sp. and shoot my Smith M21 ofter. I own autos but carrty and shoot revolvers.

ah dicho
