This morning I received a call from a friend who wants to buy a handgun for SD & HD. He will not CC but wants to keep it at home or in the car for long trips. He asked me which 38/357 Magnum revolvers I recommended. I asked him why he wanted a revolver. He responded that he thought revolvers were "safer" to have around the house in case one of his grandkids or his wife happened to stumble across it.
I am a revolver guy because that's what most people used when I started shooting in the early 70's. However I recognize the value of a modern hi-cap pistol for SD & HD especially in 9mm because factory ammo is relatively cheap. .
I recommended that he seriously consider a modern 9mm hi-cap pistol & added that a revolver would be as unsafe under those conditions as any pistol.
Am I wrong?
