I'm changing my mind...maybe, again.

Previously, I had stated that I was either going to go with the Glock 19, 26, or the Ruger SR9C for defensive carry. However, the more I work this over in my mind, the more I'm leaning towards tossing all of that away from a simple .357 revolver.

I should back up a little bit. As you know I just tested (and now own) a 4 inch GP100 in .357/.38. As soon as we met it was love at first shot.

I don't care what other gun you would offer me, I'm going to find a way to make this puppy work for my carry piece. I just will.

Now, don't get me wrong, I love the aforementioned pistols, they are great! However, I do like the ease and simplicity of a good revolver.

There are a million advantages to having a semi-auto on or about your person. There are also many more important disadvantages in my opinion.

You get more ammo capacity with a semi-auto, it is easier to reload, more often than not a longer sight radius, you usually get a slightly or extremely slimmer frame too.

All that being said... in this particular case, it's what you don't get that is more important. I don't get jams, double feeds, magazine malfunctions (oh, you didn't know, yeah a mag can go bad on you in a heart beat), stovepipes, etc etc etc.

Most people will tell you that newer firearms, semi-autos, don't do that very often. And while I agree, I want "Never" instead of "Not very often".

So, I'm going with a revolver... yeah.
