@Don102 I’m jealous. Karacal recommended one of those to me.

I have 2 five shot revolvers in my collection which I can EDC if I wanted to. There is always room for a good quality revolver in your rotation no matter what your age. Just remember to train with whatever firearm you carry, and yes shot placement is important.

Yup! Brother, The Training (in any Firearm purchase/carry) is the key . And that goes with all the Bells N Whistles that come with them.
These I found work particularly well for my Revolvers. But Practice/ Familiarity makes the routine of reloading easier.

A statement that I agree with. Although I carry a .380 with 7 shots. Aim not that good.

I saw the video of that hunt and Steve only had a rifle in his possession at the time and was carrying his 7 mm bolt action rifle. I’m not sure why you would shoot a pistol and then have to rack the slide
While he did manage to survive the charge, the bull was able to gore him in his back left leg
The situation still teaches a good lesson though, Your gun skills should be developed to an subconscious level. As your mind will be preoccupied by the situation at hand, it won’t be able to think through the operation of your firearm.
It’s one of the things that’s irritating about people who think they’re prepared to handle a dangerous situation with their firearm. You have to ask yourself, are you capable of doing so in a panic?
Practice, practice,practice, train, train, train
Training builds confidence and confidence pushes panic further down the line. Panic can take a dangerous situation and make it lethal

Everyone needs to draw their own line(s), so to speak.
I don’t think of you as an a-hole.

Or a 9mm revolver. I have a S&W model 986 that uses moon clips which hold 7 rounds and make reloading very easy. I purchased it a few years ago when .38 caliber ammo was hard to find and very pricey - can still be pricey but less difficult to find. Now, I’m thinking of having my 5-shot S&W model 360 (.357/.38) worked on by TK Customs revolver gunsmiths in Illinois who can re-chamber the cylinder to accept 9mm ammo.
