Hello all,
Been awhile since I've posted here. There is an ongoing debate as to the wisdom of carrying a SA Revolver for CCW. I am a retired LEO, and would like to weigh in. It about killed me when our large metropolitan department went to Semi-Autos from revolvers. I just always shot the revolver more accurately, and thought then, and still do, that Revolvers are simply beautiful and effective. No, there are not really fast reloads, but they usually go bang every time.
For purposes of this post, I carry a NAA Sidewinder in 22 mag everyday. It is always with me! When I wish to carry a larger SA Revolver, I carry a Cimarron Arms (Uberti) Doc Holiday Special 45 Colt, 3 1/2 in barrel in a Mernickle PS6-SA concealment holster. Yes......I know it's only a Single Action, but I shoot it well, and a 45 Colt cartridge is nothing to laugh at if it comes your way!
Yup... There are definitely better choices in Semi-Autos for CCW, but while I own many of them, including Berettas, Sigs, Walthers, and Colts, as well as a GSG AD-OPS 1911, I still like, and do not feel under gunned with a SA 45 Colt Revolver.
Nice thing about that Doc Holiday special, only 499 other people in the world own one! So I just feel soooooo special! LOL!
