So after causing some controversy, largely due to some uneducated facts from yours truely, I thought I would start something similar here. Don't get me wrong this is a topic that is providing my honest opinion. I just have this feeling that others may not have the same
I currently own a 6 inch GP100. This is my go to, life or death, everyone open carries, once the zombies show up, range and "cowboy" gun. The latter is the main topic of this post.
If I was a cowboy, circa the present, and allowed to choose among the vast assortment of firearms available to me it would have to be a modern DA/SA revolver, GP100 in my case. The way I see it SA would only become a limitation.
In a situation that would require constant concentration and quick reaction SA action would actually hamper resolution. I know there are individuals that can move this action extremely fast. My thought was for the average Joe.
With DA and SA capabilities an individual could, if needed, discharge their weapon with a simple pull of the trigger. Some training is of course required to be come accustomed to the differences required of the different trigger pulls. In my opinion the stress involved when in a scenario that would require quick action justifys the DA.
My GP100 was my first purchase, I also shoot it the best. I'm not a traditionalist and for Christmas I am looking forward to a buscalero rig.
What do you think? If you had to walk around town with a revolver of some sort what would that be?
Let's not talk about the uber tactical 45 shot autos with the integral rail combining lasers and vampire killing bayonets
Don't get me wrong I have an auto, I really want to explore the thought that the DA/SA revolver would be the choice of the modern day cowboy. Let's pretend technology has been limited to revolvers and the auto was never invented
