It's difficult to put the full context of this question into the title line. But assuming that size was not an issue, so you could carry any full size revolver you choose, would such a weapon really offer all the advantages of a high capacity semi-automatic pistol.
Six or seven shots of double action .357 Magnum have no place going up against 15 rounds of rapid fire single action .40S&W, or do they?
While I would agree that guns like the S&W 642 are great CCW pieces because of their small size and high reliability with a capable round, the real question is why would I want a Model 19 instead of a Glock 23. Would I not be starting off with a huge disadvantage.
Why would a full size revolver ever make sense over an automatic?
