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

I’m 29. First gun I bought was a semi-auto. I didn’t think revolvers were “cool” when I first got into shooting. As I learned more about shooting, a lightbulb suddenly went off in my head: Wheelguns are REAL guns (thanks Clint).

So as a grad school graduation present to myself, I got a S&W 627 PC. Man, is that a joy to shoot.
