Replaced all my autos with revolvers

[JohnL2]

Hmmm. Yeah, I'm beginning to lean to that way of thinking too.
I trust my autopistol 98% for reliable operation. Not all that great.
I would trust a revolver 99.99%. No mechanical device is 100% reliable but if I was going to carry concealed I'd definitely opt for the revolver.
Just that extra reliability of a wheelgun. With practice I am sure you can be pretty fast reloading with a speedloader.
Would think long and hard about buying another autopistol.

Revolvers

I too have always favored revolvers, but enjoy shooting my HK P7 and M13's.
My favored shooters are the colt pythons which I own a total of 6.
one 8", two 6", two 4" and one 2 1/2". I shoot them extremely well and would never part with them. My autos have become safe queens and it's nice to take them out, admire them and put them away.

For the first few years I was into guns, I never thought I'd own a semi-auto. After a while I tried one and liked it, but never as much as revolvers. I've owned a few semis and a lot of revolvers, but as of today I have five revolvers and only two semi-autos left, one of which is up for sale.

Autoloaders have their place, but that place is not my holster. I've always preferred to carry and shoot revolvers, and I tend to shoot better with them.

Geez, I thought maybe I was a total weirdo for not wanting to keep my semi,
that I'd be bucking the trend, a Luddite rejecting technology that was superior to revolvers.

After reading this thread, I feel better about my decision.

Semi-autos are cool pieces of technology, but I'm glad I'm back in the revolver camp.

It's nice to know I'm not in camp alone.

I shot 1911's before having to carry them on watch... loved them. Then, I discovered that my new bride had a short temper... then we had two sons - no firearms in 'her' house. Years later, I got into black powder cap & ball revolvers - safely dispersing the components about the house after a range trip. My sons grown, I found myself resingled - and in an apartment. I did some research - bought a G21 - fitted it's mags with +2 extenders - 15 rounds of .45 ACP - who could want more? It had to be the most boring to shoot, yet most accurate, .45 auto I had ever shot. I finally tired of it, and made my friend, a disgruntled postal employee, very happy - some nine years ago. I bought a Ruger BH convertible .45 to shoot up my stash of ball ammo - then just had to 'try' that .45 Colt cylinder.

I finally said goodbye to my last bottom feeders, a pair of AMT DAO .45 Backups, over four years ago. They went in trade for my best new S&W buys ever - a 696 for fun and a 296 for CCW - on the same day. The conversion was complete. The only evil bottom feeder in the house then and now is a Ruger MKII - with 8 mags, it's just too much fun (I, too, keep my clothes on shooting it - too hard to carry those spare mags!). I reload, am volumetrically challenged, and am rapidly approaching 'elderly flatulance' status. Revolvers are great. My second bride came with a bottom feeder... she, too, is a convert now. Life is good.

Thank you for keeping the disgruntled postal employees happy. We odn't like to see them get disgruntled

BrassPukingBottomFeeders....
I am about 50/50 autos vs. revos
I have a 1911, G19 and a Colt woodsman and I do not contemplate ridding my self of any of them and I might pick up a BHP one day, but the rest are S&W double actions. I need to get a good cowboy gun in 45 Colt one day and that will fill most of my needs.
