Semi-automatic handguns are all the rage now days. General issue for most Law Enforcement Agencies, conceal carry and ownership by citizens for target shooting , etc... On many forums mention of revolvers is passé and the poster is something of a dinosaur.
Yet I can't help but notice how many small frame revolvers are carried as bug by Cops. When things are at their worst possible moment a officer reaches for a revolver to save his bacon. Given all of the praises for the semi-auto the officer chooses the gun that is most likely to go bang the first and every time the trigger is pulled.
Then figures released by S&W and Ruger show sales of small handguns are very strong. All of these guns are going somewhere which I suspect is where they are never meant to be seen. This is not to mention duty in a nightstand drawer for the last line (and only for some) of defense when things go bump in the night.
Not discussed much but there when you need it most.
