Why do you carry a revolver every day? Select all that apply:
A. You enjoy reenacting the Spanish-American War and want to carry the gun that was used in that conflict. 1811 moar better than 1911!
B. You don’t want to have to think about dealing with more than one attacker, so you figure why carry more ammo than one attacker needs?
C. You watched the FBI Miami shootout reenactment and thought that the agents looked so cool reloading their guns in that fight!
D. You enjoy carrying more than one gun for the real possibility that your first one breaks.
E. There’s nothing quite as satisfying as that long, 12-pound double action trigger pull to see how difficult it is to put shots on target!
F. Two words: Harry Callahan. Do you feel lucky, punk?
G. You think Hugo Borchardt is a liar and a cheat and won’t go near anything based on his work. (go ahead, Google him…)
H. You’re not afraid to admit that you have a man crush on Roger Murtaugh.
I. You live by the “six for sure!!!” Motto, which is fairly true as long as you don’t train or practice with your revolver much.
J. Because Rick Grimes taught me that it’s good for killin’ zombies.
K. Because the basic design was finalized in the 1860s, which is the peak of understanding human performance and ergonomics.
L. Because revolvers tolerate neglect better than semi-autos and you know you neglect your firearm and deep down hope it’ll still function when you need it. (It likely will)
M. Because you became a training junkie in the firearm space and got bored shooting at 25y B8s and figured if you could learn a much harder gun to shoot well it would make you a better shooter.
N. Because you’re a woman and the salesman at the gun counter convinced you that you didn’t have the mental fortitude to learn how to operate a complex, modern semiautomatic handgun.
O. TACKLEBERRY. Full stop.
