Yeah, it's funny, Matt - I keep hearing about how "antiquated" revolvers are to many people. My generation grew up with them, with semi-autos being seen as military or match pistols for the most part. Cops still carried revolvers, all of our mentors carried them, and they are what we all cut our shooting teeth on. But then again, I think I'm getting "antiquated".

I've lost count of how many younger shooters I have introduced to revolvers at my range. Many of them well and truly looked down their noses at them as "antiquated"; maybe fun at the range, but inaccurate, too slow to reload, too little capacity, etc. However, each and every one of them, so far without fail after shooting mine a bunch - has gone out and bought one. They all absolutely love them. They love the simplicity, reliability, accuracy, trigger pulls, and, with the older Smiths and Colts, the fit and finish and obvious care in their manufacture.

Everyone should have a nice revolver. Everyone should start with a nice revolver.
