OK, I have many wheelguns, almost all in .44 Mag with four .357 Mag and a .41 Mag. I also have many semi's. Looking at what I have I see I have mostly powerful revolvers and less powerful semis that have more ammo capacity.
I am now noticing (prolly they've always been prominant and I'm now noticing) an increase in revolvers with moon clips. Rationale being moonclips are easier to use than speedloaders.
My (flame away) question is why get a revolver with a speedloader when you can just get a semi.
I know, I know revolvers are more reliable (e.g. than a Glock)
Now I admit that I generally like the looks of revolvers more then semis and some of that is nostalgia to old western TV, movies and novels.
And I'm fine with that.
Is there anything I'm missing here (likely there is and hence the thread) or is the revolver with moonclip thing just looks and nostalgia ?
here are the requisite gun pics for a pretty wheel gun and a pretty semi:
