[QUOTE="spyglass, post: 1241746, member: 13068"] I voted revolvers, 'cause I see no real need for a hull spitter (unless I was going house-to-house, muzzle up, in, say, Tikrit or Kandahar-maybe even OKC southside and had a real chance of gettin' into a prolonged firefight). And naturally, since I picked wheelguns, the 1st choice would logically be a Saturday Evening Custom (sounds better than the other term), and always at the top of that list would be a 1 7/8" RG (plastic grip version) in .22LR....easy to carry/hide, and if caught, easy to convince the gendarme it's not a real gun. BUT if confronted by miscreant(s), quickly remind him (them), after the presentation of said piece, that more peeples is killed with twennytooz each year than any uther kallibur. That oughta give 'em pause.... But serially fokes....I have a double shoulder rig that holds a primary 4" fixed GP-100 (slicked a little) and a backup 5 1/2" Redhawk (also slicked a little). Since I don't do CCW, I find them both eminently practical. They never malfunction, and with my loads (developed over a loooonng period of time), will stop anything (or anyone) that might ever need stopping......and why do I believe that? 'Cause Marshall & Sanow sed so, thas why! "....the most one-shot stops recorded were for the 125gr .357 Federal Hydrashock!...." ('Course that's since been proven largely baloney, as cops are nearly always trained to at least doubletap, but anyway, their "study" sold a lotta books & made them some good $). My take on the situation. [/QUOTE]
