[QUOTE="John X, post: 1683768"] Interesting question... My father died a few years ago and left me his large collection of firearms, most of which I'd never fired. One day I took several of his pistols to the range and I had more failures from those semi-autos THAT DAY than I'd ever had up to that point in my life. I became an instant wheelgun convert. I still carry a Kel-Tec .380 when I can't easily conceal my .44 Bulldog, but when I can conceal the Bulldog, or when concealment isn't an issue, it's always a wheelgun. I've never had a revolver fail on me (though I know it happens.) As to the issue of how many rounds you're capable of sending downrange, my thinking is if I can't get the job finished in five shots, I'm in big, BIG trouble and a high-capacity mag probably isn't going to make much difference one way or the other. Of course, I've never had to pull a gun in self-defense and hope I never do, but I imagine if I did it'd be over (one way or the other) before I'd need a sixth shot. [/QUOTE]
