Revolvers or autos?

[KriegHund]

Do you prefer autos or revolvers?
Personally i like autos.

 

[420Stainless]

For carry I prefer the thin profile of some semiauto's. For everything else, I have no preference.

 

[orionengnr]

Both

Own both, carry both, like both.
Did not see that option, so did not vote.

Been a semi-auto guy for 40+ years.
Been a revolver guy for about 1 1/2 years.
In that time the contents of my safe has reached a perfect 50/50 mix.
My "always" CCW consist of a revo and a semi. One or the other is with me. Which one? Depends.

Kinda like, blondes or brunettes? Same answer...both.
Preferably several of each!!

Didn't vote because I like 'em both, shoot 'em both and carry either one or the other concealed according to where I'm going, what strikes my fancy on a given day and sometimes whichever is handy at a given time. Also for those that lke to argue caliber, I feel well protected with .45ACP , .357 mag, 9MM and even a .38 snubnose, all with suitable loads.

Both will work but I prefer autos for these reasons, easier to shoot (short trigger autos like 1911's and glocks), hold more ammo, easier to conceal.

Semi-auto because I shoot 'em better. I like the idea of a small revo for CCW backup, though.

This is one of those THR questions that I don't want to answer, but inexplicably I feel compelled to add my two cents too! Personally, if I had to choose one handgun for fighting/hunting/plinking etc., I would go with a revolver. Caliber choice and particular model aside, in general, I just think that revolvers are a sturdier more accurate gun. However, this isn't to say that I hate autos. One of the best thing about autos is that there are still improvements to be made and new, innovative autos show up here and there, and I think thats exciting. Additionally, the auto is just fun to shoot, whether your just ripping off rounds as fast as you can go (in a safe direction, of course), practicing speed reloads or whatever, I think that the auto is in many ways just as good as a revo. Autos are also (as a rule) reliable and are certainly capable of more accuracy than I can use. Still, if I HAD to choose only one, I would go with the Revo. Still plenty of fun to shoot, plenty of good caliber choices (actually, more than any auto can offer), and dead reliable.

Auto hands down......

 

[TexasRifleman]

Yep, just can't vote. Clearly needs a "BOTH" category.

 

[McCall911]

I voted auto.

 

[CAnnoneer]

Autos - higher capacity, faster reload, aesthetically satisfying action, faster SA, lighter.

 

[sm]

Both.

 

[ddj8052]

Both.

I also have not voted because I really like both. I own more revolvers now than I do autos. Although I shoot my autos (1911's) more often. At work I usually carry a revolver, or sometimes an auto. So as stated above you need a both category.

 

[torpid]

What, no "neither" option?

 

[wally]

What about "both"?

Sometimes my Scandium .357 J-frame hides better, other times its the Kahr PM40, or Kimber Ultra Carry in "cold" weather (which we've not had).

Own both, carry both, like both.

Me, too, but since I've always been a revolver guy at heart, that's the way I voted. I still carry autos, though. My concession is they're DA or DAO.

 

[Technosavant]

At heart, I do prefer semiautos. I prefer the calibers, the concealability, the form, pretty much everything about them. But I still like wheelguns too- they have their own beauty, and I REALLY like my S&W 642. But I will always be a brass-puker kind of guy.

 

[cookekdjr]

tastes great. less filling.

 

[lee n. field]

Whatever works.

+1

 

[possum]

like revolvers but prefer semi-autos for work and play!

 

[Harry Paget Flashman]

I like semi-autos better but who couldn't love a S&W model 10, 1917 or J-frame, a Colt Diamondback or a Ruger Security-Six?

 

[f4t9r]

Like both but have more Autos
so its semi auto !!!!

 

[JohnKSa]

I prefer revolvers to autos. They're just more interesting and better looking. I like the way they operate and the way they feel. I enjoy their retrospective aspects.

But I own more autos, shoot my autos more, use only autos for HD, and carry only autos for SD.
