In the 90's, with a bunch of folks in a gun class, we went for BBQ after class in small town. A local officer came in and gave us the stink eye (we were all in vests, tactical pants - LOL). He was carrying a chromed SAA with a belt of rounds under his substantial belly. We were all carrying Glock 19, Berettas, 1911s or some other semi.
About 3 years ago, had to stop in another small town on the way to a funeral of a dear friend. The local BBQ - two local officers came in - a Beretta 92 (it seems) and a 1911. Times change.
I know we have periodic threads to argue that the revolver is the equal of the modern semis because some old toot carries one. Well, I'm an old toot and shoot a revolver decently. I like Js for pocket carry but in today's world there is no reason not to carry a modern semi on your belt. If I had to carry a revolver on my belt - I wouldn't feel helpless but I can do better.
