I was in combat on the nogales Arizona border line in 2004. Dave and I were armed with M1's and 1911's. We took fire every day.I agree.
When I was training people under the NSSF's First Shots program, the range pistols were in perfect shooting condition, and a limp wrist here and there would cause a jam. Compact pistols tend to be pretty unforgiving to a limp wrist, or a poor grip. Those tiny pistols are hard to grip. You can hang a revolver on a string, and if you pull the trigger, it will fire without a jam up.
The revolver is a good choice for self Defense. If I am knowingly entering combat, an M1a and 1911 would be my choice.
I still have my original 2.25" SP101 in .357 magnum, which I purchased new in December 1994, as a Christmas present to myself...and started an annual 'tradition' for myself! ha haI too am a revolver guy....EDC is a Ruger SP101 .357 and a Smith 642 .38 for pocket carry....served me well for many years and still does...

It's not the J frame. I carry that in a pocket holster sometimes. This one is an older model 19 .357. Probably was a police trade in when they were all switching over to semi-autos. Looks like it's been carried a lot but not shot much.WOW nice J frame ??? Is that a 32? 38?
Mite be purple mite not.
That explains it. Context is hard on the www.It's not the J frame. I carry that in a pocket holster sometimes. This one is an older model 19. Probably was a police trade in when they were all switching over to semi-autos. Looks like it's been carried a lot but not shot much.
