Enlighten me.
Well I think you already know what you like, so I don't think I am likely to change your mind. I also think that your choice of a DA revolver is not bad, and you are certainly well armed with that. But just for fun, I will take the same situation you posed earlier, and change it a little.
You asked:
Can your daughter lean over to where she's almost falling and fire 3 or 4 rounds one-handed from that 1911 without a jam?
So I will ask:
Can you lean over to where you are almost falling and fire 7 or 8 rounds one handed from your J frame?
If you can do that, you will have changed my mind, and convinced me that you are correct. But getting 8 rounds one handed out of a J frame is going to make for one slow reload.
In the end, most of this ends up being personal choice, and really I don't think any of the guns we are talking about here are bad choices. I think Front Sight is expressing its opinion as if it is fact, and maybe so are the rest of us.
