Revolver's are still a valid SD tool.

I’ve thought about looking for a holster for this thing. Makes me feel like I’m carrying one of the USS Missouri’s 16” cannons on me.

I agree revolvers don’t stay around long. Funny when I was teaching a handgun class and a person pulled out a revolver I always felt better as usually the revolver guys and gals shot circles around the semi auto crowd and had more experience in general. I’m a fan of the frames for pocket carry and I love the 327 federal

I too like revolvers from a reliability aspect but I am a terrible shot with them.

They have many attributes. They can be very effective. Easy to top off. Nothing gets ejected which could effect it's reliability. I like revolvers.

Revolvers are cool but I just do not see a practical reason to ever use one over a semi. I think they are a bit more bulky, you're lacking much needed round capacity and the sights typically aren't as good.

With that said, a revolver is way better than not having anything at all!
