I know the title implies the age old debate, but frankly I couldn't think of anything more eloquent to title it.
As my user name would imply, I am a revolver guy, I literally have one semi auto to my name wich is a cz 75 sp-01 tactical (and my wife being the opposite with all semi's and one revolver).
I bought the cz because I believe no one could go wrong having a semi auto for that worst case scenario where more rounds on tap would be of bennifit. But I find that shooting a semi auto feels somehow unnatural to me. When I pick up a revolver it just feels like an extension of my arm and just points so naturally while the semi autos I have to put more effort into lining up the sights on target. I feel that in a defensive scenario having to put that much more effort into getting the gun to work for you could be of disservice.
So that brings me to my question, I have been considering doing more self defense classes, and am debating should I train more into revolvers and put semi's behind me (in which case my wife who is rooting for it will run off with my cz). Or should I spend my time and money into learning to use a semi more effectively?
Any thoughts on the matter are appreciated.
