Probably not but who cares? Just watching you pound your keyboard is scaring the bejebus out of me. Why don't you quit beating a dead horse or just paste your credentials that make you the expert on this subject?
Wow, your hostility is.....interesting!
I never claimed to be an expert. I engage in dialog that I think is beneficial with people that claim to know about a topic, so I ask questions. The funny part is, I find that that people that profess to know the most about something take it as a personal attack if you ask them hard questions. Like, "how did you arrive at that conclusion?" Or "Can you cite an example?"
Some posters here remind me of an online exchange I once had:
Poster: "Glocks Rule!"
Me: "why do you like Glocks so much?"
Poster: "You hate Glocks because you never shot one! If you did, then you couldn't hit with it. You're too stupid to own a Glock. Go back to your antiquated revolvers, you worthless Glock hater!"
True story. I didn't say anything negative about his beloved Glock, but suddenly I "just didn't know" about Glocks, so I shouldn't post anything further.
Just because I ask a question, it doesn't mean I disagree with you. It also doesn't mean I don't know what I'm talking about.
I agree with Craig that single actions are fun to shoot. It was my first and second style of gun. I've shot 1000's and 1000's of rounds thru those two and several others.
As I already posted, I have carried single actions for defense before, but nowadays, it's for woods carry. But I know my followup shots won't be as fast, especially one handed, and I dispute those that claim otherwise when legitimate defense ammo is used. I don't worry about the speed of the reload, but I'll have at least two more cylinderfuls on me. What good is being able to shoot 5, reload, shoot 5 more in 15 seconds if you don't carry a reload?
(That poster says he doesn't carry a reload ever!)
I don't expect a long drawn out fight, but I won't go home with an empty gun.
