This occurred to me today, and I really don't have a solid answer, although I do have an opinion.
I just purchased a Ruger Security Six 2 3/4", and I plan on carrying it. I'm accustomed to shooting revos, and I'm typically fast to target with them, especially Rugers for some reason. (Grip angle maybe?)
Up until now, I've been carrying a Sig 239 9mm. I'm slower to target, but my followup in much faster.
To be honest, if timed, I'd guess that I'm getting two shots off in generally the same amount of time. 1st shot faster with the Ruger, second shot faster with the Sig. As and added benefit, the Sig carries 2 additional round in the magazine, or 3 additional total rounds going 8 + 1.
So, in a civilian self defense CCW situation, which is better?
My opinion is that the first to strike has an advantage, and with the added power of the .357, the Ruger wins out. Some may argue otherwise.
Waddya think?
