    Anyone Know How Many Moving Parts?

    The reason I brought this up was I was fingerprinting an individual applying for her CCW in Florida. She informed me she was going to purchase a revolver because her friend advised her revolvers had hundreds of less moving parts than a semi-pistol. I think a revolver for her is probably a great...
