The other day, I tripped over an article that had a title along the lines of “In Defense of Revolvers.”\u00a0 I read it expecting to see the usual “they’re more reliable!” and the extra power that revolver magnum loads offer over semi-auto pistols.<\/p>\n
The thing the guy centered on?\u00a0 That apparently semi-autos are apparently too complicated for your average person.\u00a0 Not to clean, not to do a detailed strip, but just to operate.<\/p>\n
Really?Think how complicated it is to operate a pistol.\u00a0 How many super tactical courses grill people on what the mag release button does?\u00a0 There’s a reason.\u00a0 Actually operating a pistol is dead simple.\u00a0 Doing so with high precision, and at speed?\u00a0 Not so much.\u00a0 Of course, the same is true about revolvers (possibly more so).Now, think about the fact that the average person manages to drive a car, use a computer, and other much, much more complicated tasks everyday.\u00a0 Driving a car requires constant minute adjustments to both steering and speed, while watching the world around you to see what’s going on.\u00a0 People do this every day while fiddling with the radio, talking on the phone, and even putting on makeup.\u00a0 Heck, I’ve seen a lady reading a picture book to her kid in the back seat.I have nothing against revolvers.\u00a0 If you like revolvers, and they fit your requirements, awesome!\u00a0 Just don’t try to tell me that my pistol is some puzzle box that’s too difficult to operate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
