Don't cherry-pick and leave out very important aspects of the post.
If someone thinks a old single action isn't useful for self defense, then they haven't been to a SASS or CAS match. Them pards can shoot there singles damn near fast as any average man with a Glock, and reload so fast you'd think they'd drawn another piece.
Truth is, by a man that KNOWS HOW TO USE ONE, a good single gives absolutely nothing to any modern handgun. They are an experts gun, a shootist's gun. Those that balk at them are simply incompetent in there use.
Many high profile members here, such as Bob Wright, carry singles. I dare any of you to question him. These folks know how to run a single. A more reliable or accurate pistol is hard to come by. They are stone age simple, and oft come chamber in such manstoppers as the .357 Smith's & Wesson's Magnum and Colt's 45 Long.
