Switching from semi-auto to revolvers

[JohnK]

It only avoids the dropped mag/firearm problem if you plan on holding the empty gun and shooting with your weak hand, or taking the extra time to reholster your primary gun which would negate any speed advantage of using a second gun compared to a semi auto and reloading with spare magazines.

I carry a "New York reload". Must be cause I`m from NY.

Semi auto is usually primary, Colt DS on my weak side. I still carry a spare mag and a spare speedloader.

For my semis, I have enough mags for each one to load up two 50 round boxes. I load them up the night before. Still, if you plan on making a day of it, you`ll eventually end up reloading from a new box.

A lot of old timers, especially LEOs, prefer wheelguns. It`s what we trained with and carried every day.
