My used car salesman said that the Kel Tec was top of the line. Best gun ever made!

This is exactly why I sometimes carry a revolver. The arthritis in my hands sometimes makes racking a slide difficult. I can easily shoot my revolvers even when my hands are stiff and sore.

The only other solutions I have seen were 2 shot Derringers (which I always considered a novelty pistol) or maybe some sort of large caliber SBR (which is difficult to conceal.)

An infringement on my 2nd Amendment freedoms, for sure.

  1. Revolvers don’t eject casings, so they don’t jam if the casing doesn’t eject right.
  2. Revolvers don’t misfeed rounds from a magazine, since they don’t have one.
  3. Revolvers only shoot 6 (or so) rounds at a time, but reliably.
  4. I think I just justified another firearms purchase!

:laughing: Just make sure you have a timing gun and make sure the cylinder on the revolver is always at “TOP DEAD CENTER” :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: I’m a weapons mechanic! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

The reason I don’t like revolvers for self defense is how complicated is to decide which one to use.

These are the options offered.. and I cannot decide.

  1. Varying numbers of cylinders (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12+)
  2. Depending on the gun cylinder amount offers a balance of power and efficiency.
  3. More cylinders generally mean smoother operation and more power but also higher cost of use.
  4. Common layouts include inline (straight), V-shape, or flat (boxer).

So
 how come I should know which one to choose? There is no such problem choosing a proper semi auto
 there are thousands of them, but all are the same. :face_with_tongue:
