Anyone who doubts a revolver is either ignorant, incompetent, or simple trolling.
Or just that damned lazy, to learn/train with them!
:-)
Not only is it viable it’s the best choice. No stove pipes, no double feeds, no ‘limp wrist’ malfunctions, failure to fire problems you can fix with one hand. If you need more than 6 shots you probably have bigger problems.
Any gun is better than no gun in that situation!
Hold on a second let me write that down....
I think marketing with hype about capacity just works. Plus it gets people talking, like we are now.
I'm fine with a revolver, but I prefer six shots. I'm too used to counting six, I guess.
Never had to use one round in defense mode, but I usually have 2 speed loaders, just in case.
Looks like we're all guilty of falling into the capacity trap.
Carry what YOU like. If you stay out of the bad areas, and don't go looking for trouble, chances are you'll have more than enough capacity.
Valid point!
One thing I LOVE about my over/unders, or single shot platforms, is you MUST OBEY all the basic rules/laws of Marksmanship (Sight alignment, sight picture, breath and trigger discipline). When you only have that one/few rounds, you have to use them appropriately!
A wise man once told me, there no such thing as an outdated weapon system. Because it can still kill your ass
Very Wise indeed sir 🤠
This is true. An 1851 Colt could still ruin your day.
A friend of mine carries a black powder revolver everyday because he's a felon. He hunts with a black powder rifle. He has a black powder shotgun, single shot of course, for bird hunting.
@@Brett235 Junior Johnson (NASCAR) did that until Reagan finally pardoned him 30 years later (He got caught at his Daddy's whiskey still).

Only Three I trust my life with!! 1st choice is Revolvers!! 2nd choice is 1911s!! And my 3td are Glocks!!!! My father always Said, its just take one shot and that's all!! If u don't miss😮 LoL! I remember when I first bought my first Glock 17 in early 90's. My Father said, Jesus Christ, how many rounds do you need!! LoL..
🤣
I started with revolvers and 1911s.
I never deviated from revolvers and 1911s. 😂
That's just a stupid question. ANY gun is a viable weapon.
I like a 10mm Auto, 45 ACP, 41/44 Mag - but I don't carry them much! Ever hear people talk about how antiquated the 45 Auto or a .38 revolver is?? Statistics show different and a chief's special carries quite well in my pocket. I have confidence in 158 gn LRN old school projectiles! LOVE your channel - have a great 4th!
You have a great 4th too man. 🤠
I have a S&W model 36 I carry most of the time With 125 grain HP I practice and pretty accurate with it out to 50 feet Also fits in my pockets in holster easily Was made in same decade I was born in the 1950's
I would not say best, but certainly the most convenient handgun that I have carried is the LCR 3". Good adjustable sights, good sight radius, excellent ergonomics and all in a 17 oz package. 5 shots should be enough to stop an attack or break contact and put some distance between me and the thread.
Yeah but is that a LCP 2 on your girlfriends Ankle.
I do carry a speed loader with my revolvers
Me Too
I have always carried two speed loaders and I will always!
@@d7dun1010 that's the way to do it bud! I still need to get second speed loaders. I just might today. Thanks for the reminder! Lol
They are great for new shooters. They are simple and reliable.
How to say "I don't know what the hell I'm talking about because I'm a Glock boi" without saying it... You do understand the double action snub nose is one of the hardest to master. The average person does not understand how to correctly use the double action trigger, since all they know is just pull the trigger as they had seen on the auto loader. You have to master the trigger pull so it won't destroy your aim. It is not a beginner's weapon, and only jabronis who talk out their ass will say it is a beginners weapon.
I think a Glock or some other polymer auto loader is actually a beginner's handgun. They're the most commonly sold and most people's first handgun purchase, not a revolver.

I think it is probably a perception driven by experience.
I started out Pre-Glock era with a Medium Frame Steel DA Revolver with a 4" Heavy Barrel. First I learned the basics of grip, stance and sight alignment while cocking the hammer with the support hand thumb. It had a very short crisp trigger pull. Then I progressed to DA and learning trigger control.
I believe trigger control is a fundamental skill that everyone should learn and the DA Revolver is one of the best tools to teach it.
These days I carry a Glock 30S primarily as a belt gun, but on occasion a Colt Detective Special 2nd Issue does find it's way into the jacket pocket.
I carry a j frame 357 mag for edc everyday for many years. I mostly work in detriot and flint. They are still practical and relevant.
I had to reload my issued revolver in a 1974 gunfight w/armed robbery suspects and was happy when we transitioned to Glock pistols. Since my ‘97 retirement I carry a light J Frame only b/c I no longer go after bad guys, and these guns are light enough to be pocket carried.
Well, yeah...police and military have completely different objectives than John Private Citizen, who just needs to end a bad situation...no shots fired is always the goal...
I have my Smith & Wesson 686 plus 3" on my side right now. I am at work and it's no problem to carry or conceal it and I don't feel under gunned with seven rounds of 38 special. I also carry semi autos but my revolvers are a big part of my carry rotation.
Great gun! Thats next on the list
A snubby 38 spl. is protection for the ages. Return fire is something a thug isn't prepared for. When grandma pulls out her old Smith someone is about to be very surprised.
A lot of people tend to forget about the Saint James church massacre. They also focus too much on the hardware. Better to have a gun you train and practice with than no gun at all.
Yep 🤠
"Firepower," as I found out as a police officer and US Army 11-Bravo, is hitting what you aim at! "Pray and spray" never works so well as a well-aimed and effective shot under duress. My EDC is a Taurus Tracker .44, in which I carry .44 Special HP loads which are quite sufficient for any two-legged varmints I'm likely to encounter here in Wyoming. Now, if I'm walking the BLM or up in the Winds, then I load it up with .44 mag loads with 240 to 255 gr. hard-cast lead SWC projectiles loaded to around 1400 to 1500 fps. My wife's EDC is a Taurus 605 2" in .357 mag loaded with Buffalo Bore "Heavy 38" 158 grain LHPSWC. It's just about the most powerful .38 Special load one can buy, and there's always the .357 option. I know our revolvers can get the job done, if necessary, and neither one of us feels "undergunned" in these dangerous times. A word of caution: DA revolvers are simple to operate, but not so simple to master. "Trigger time" is absolutely essential, either dry-firing or at the range, in order to master the long DA trigger pull, and if one is not prepared to invest in the time needed to do so, then you should invest in professional training, which is available, at a cost. This is all part of being prepared for that moment we all hope and pray never happens, but for which we need to be ready, in order to protect our loved ones and/or ourselves! God bless all!
Well said sir 🤠
Some armed private security companies have recently and possibly still do use revolvers with multiple personnel simultaneously stationed on the protected site. .38 Special Revolvers are legal in all 50 States without concern about magazine capacity restrictions, ammunition sensitivity, and the disadvantage of low cartridge count is overcome by several employees working together. For armed citizens there is no mission to kill, capture, destroy, or apprehend anybody, just to deflect the assailant and be a witness to report the incident to the authorities. For concern about 5 or 6 shots not being enough and being overcome during reloading, encounters of 3 shots in 3 seconds at 3 yards are within the capabilities of the more easily concealable revolver. There can be counter arguments about semi automatic pistols being more difficult to conceal and malfunctioning with stovepopes, misfeeds, ejection failures, and limpwristing issues. Expect no absolute answer, so own as many sidearms as you can to have as many options as possible.
Yes they still are; absolutely!... I trust revolvers more, personally, for two main reasons: reliability and dependability.
Another excellent video and great topic😊
Thanks man 🤠
If you keep talking common sense you will never be considered taticool!
Great video. Sometimes I carry a revolver and sometimes a semi auto. Same for caliber. Mostly 9mm or 38 but there are times it is a 22lr. As long as you have a gun and can hit the targets.
I have a Taurus 327 in my pocket as a backup. It, along with the couple of speedloaders that I have, would be sufficient for most situations that call for a handgun.
Obviously a 357 Magnum is better than an underpowered 9mm.
My Daughter does not like my 357 and she don't shoot it well at all. She carries a 22LR LCP 2 on her ankle and she shoots a fast, tight, 10 shot pattern.
@@TobaccoRowe1960 Has she tried firing 38 Special ammo with it? Not better than 9mm then though.
@@StevenHughes-hr5hp Yeah she has her own 38 a Taurus 856 but it's to bulky for her. And it to jumps around when you shoot it. The 22LR just don't kick like a 38 does. The LCP 2 is a very steady gun.
I've heard that most self defense discharge of firearms by private citizens is an average of 3 shots. Me personally, I'm much better with a wheel gun than a semi auto.
The rule of 3’s….3 rounds, 3 yards in 3 seconds
After retiring to dusty Wyoming, my EDC is a S&W R8, backed up with a 357 J-frame in the pocket. My whole LEO career was automatic pistols, and I still occasionally carry my pair of 10mm pistols.
Agree 💯 Matt. A round gun either for carry or the home is perfectly adequate as long as one does their part regarding practice. Upstairs in the bedroom is a 4" GP100 loaded with some pretty stout +P Underwood 38's. I sleep well , thank you. Great topic Matt and a safe and happy 4th to you and your family!
Happy 4th to you my friend 🤠
I am always proud of my S&W 64-1, combat master piece 15-3 , chief special no dash .38 special and 686 + .357 as back up for my Beretta 92fs and S&W 5904 9mm for my first line of defense before I get to my long guns.
Revolvers have been, and always will be, legit for self defense in the woods or the city. Moreover, they are great for training, and for FUN! Good job sir.
In the early eighties an elderly man who was a contract jeweler returned home to find three would be robbers waiting in his house. When it was all over he was holding an empty S&W .32 I-Frame and three dead bodies were on the floor. Once a paratrooper always a paratrooper.
It ain't the tool, it's the mechanic.
For some people to say that a revolver "just isnt powerful enough" to put someone down is just absolute nonsense.
They worked just fine for many years before the technology of today became the norm.
I enjoyed this and Im a new sub...thank you.
Thanks for watching and for the sub sir 🤠
Well stated! Can’t agree more more! Great talk
In many ways revolvers are just simpler for new shooters to understand. Some have very heavy triggers though which also make them difficult for some people. My daughter has to use two fingers to pull the trigger 😂
RIA, KIMBER, Diamondback, Henry, are the new kids as well as a few custom makers, some oldies like Manuerin`s resurgence and even the big 3 revamping past models and/ or making new ones. Yea revolvers aren't going anywhere and many are difficult to find and the prices being paid well above average polymer guns is further proof. Throw lever guns in this mix too for that matter!
ETA: Taurus has made, the poly protector, the 856, the judge, and a .380 revolver as well.
I'm sure I left some out, but you get the point.
Enjoyed the video.
I've been carrying a snubby for the last year or so, it's the only weapon I can appendix carry for 14hrs comfortably. I bounce between a LCRx in 357 (loaded with 357), Taurus 327 Fed Mag, and a S&W 642. I live in rural America I don't feel under guned, I'm proficient with all three as I can shoot at my home range and reload. Now depending on circumstances I may carry an auto but not often..
I got several in my collection
1- Pietta 1851 Navy Colt (.36 caliber)
2- (2) 50’s vintage Colt Official police revolvers (.38 special)
3- Pre-Taurus Rossi m971 (.357 Magnum)
4- Ruger Super BlackHawk (.44 Magnum)
5- (on layaway at the moment)- Ruger 50th Anniversary (1956-2006) BlackHawk (.44 Magnum)
I believe in small revolvers as a great backup pistol, especially in a coat pocket
They may be obselete for military application but for personal defense they are a great option with the best variety of cartridge options.
We carried .38s for years, and never sweated...simplicity under duress is a virtue, and it doesn't get much more simple than a revolver...now, the .38s on HD duty, and we could (we don't, but we could) let the guns sit where they are for 10 years, knowing we won't forget how to operate them, and the guns would be operational after all that time...
Personally. I love conversations like this. So much. I think revolvers are IDEAL for civilian, and security/ protection agencies. Here's why. Two main reasons.
1. Civs don't have immunity. So knowing you only have 6 may make you more choosey on what you blow your 6 on. (Lol) which also brings me to my number 2. (Lol!!)
2. We all know the limitations revolvers have. The trigger pull, low cap, and reload. So guess what someone should focus on when training with revolvers? Those three.
Being able to shoot it accurately, reload it fluently, and handle the trigger acceptably is the goal. The calibers revolvers are chambered in are always better than their semi auto counter parts. For example. You can't compare 38 to 9mm. You compare 38 to 380. 38 wins. Compare 9mm to 357, 357 wins. 10mm to 41 magnum, 41 wins. Ect. Ect.
Military and law enforcement should choose semi automatics because they have to have compatability between parts out of all of them. Military especially shouldn't matter much, troops typically choose a rifle or PCC. Police is the only questionable one. And well...let's not forget. In the 20s and 30s, we had police WITHOUT SPEEDLOADERS, going up against mobsters with full auto Thompsons.
Most likely scenario for most of us is a close up physical encounter where the revolver is king. For the other 1% a backup auto loader is a good plan.
The two agents he killed had semi autos
Anything that fires a big, lead projectile is viable imo.
Lots of Mall Ninjas 🥷 out there styling guns like toys dreaming for their John Wick moment.
Yep. So true 🤠
You don’t need a monster truck to drive to work. You need an economy car.
You have obviously never worked in construction.
A gun fight is a race, run with skill and accuracy. Would you drive a Yugo in a life determining race or a Porsche
A monster truck makes a terrible work truck.

I would use a shovel to dig a grave, not a spoon. Experience has taught us to use the correct tool for a job. The tool does not underperform, the user does, by choice.
How dare you sir, gravedigger is my daily driver.
I don't think the bad guys have a lot of time to think about to think about to think about what they were shot with.
I have a GP100 and a Redhawk that are in my C.C. Rotation… nothing wrong with Magnum Power.
Amen 🤠
Great to see wheel gun videos for edc and personal defense! I put my time in at the range, mastering my S&W Governor. .45 acp +p HP to .410 predator HP slugs to 45 LC SP puts rounds on target at 5 and 7 yards. Glock 30s was my goto in the past. The best value i got out of the glock was resale value!
After 28 years as an LEO. I still carry of course. My thinking has changed as a civilian. I carry a revolver as my primary weapon and a backup weapon. 2 is 1 and 1 is none. When in rural areas generally I carry two revolvers. When in urban areas a Revolver and a semi. Why? In rural areas the revolver allows me to stack loads which come in handy on the farm and a NY reload is the fastest reload. My primary in urban areas is a revolver so that when I win the fight It is going to look far better to the court that I did so with a 6 shot revolver. My backup is the semi should things go really bad a NY reload is the fastest reload. The bottom line when you have to face a jury is perception and feelings will influence facts. Three shots fired from a 5/6 revolver that stops the threat will always be perceived better than 8-15 from a semi that accomplishes the same thing. Whether it’s for the criminal trial or the lawsuit later.
My Revolver sits for years in my draw no worries about magazine springs compressing, revolver is always ready
This is a good point 🤠
I agree with you, they are perfectly acceptable for self-defense. I like my Taurus M85 +p Ultra-lite Titanium hammerless, 13.5 ounces of fury. Or my Rock Island M206. I also have a Dan Wesson 15-2 357 mag with 2'', 4'', 6'' and an 8'' barrel and shroud set. But I like to keep that at home.
Fortunately and for 64 years I have had no reason to carry a Gun. If I was going to carry I would carry my two single action 22LR 5" Revolvers on my hips and my Model 65 357 in the back for backup. SAA's are great for shooting from the hip and fast at fanning the Hammer. Over my shoulder my 22LR Lever Action Rifle. My pockets stuffed full of 22LR shells and a few 38's for my 357.
But if I was you I would carry what my daughter is carrying. 22LR Ruger LCP2, in a Ankle Holster, it don't bounce around when you shoot it. And it is very fast at pumping out bullets. 🤠
Agreed; acceptable? Yes. Ideal? A lot of the time no.
Honestly I wished their was more of a resurgence in mid-sized revolvers, like K-frames with 3 inch barrels. They'd do a much better job of being a usable carry revolver that isn't going to beat you up after firing a box or two of ammo at the range compared to all the lightweight snubnoses that get recommended to new shooters.
Its a good pistol because you know its reliable
The owner of our local gun shop carries a 686+ 4" daily. I asked him if he felt under gunned being that someone could walk in the door with an AR-15 or ak, he said absolutely not.
Yup. Acceptable. I like the .357 Magnum.
A knife is still viable, if you don’t have a gun. I would rather have any gun, and revolvers are reliable, beautiful and one good shot is all you need. Revolvers are a gentleman’s weapon.
A J-frame is super easy to carry. And can get you out of a tight situation.
Ive got a 686 bedside and a jframe for my pocket.
I love my revolvers for one simple reason.
The grip. It just feels natural and puts me on target.
My concealed carry gun is a Smith & Wesson Model 29 (.44 magnum) with a 6 1/2 inch barrel and I wouldn't have it any other way
I carry my Glock as my EDC, but I also pocket my 642 daily too. Be prepared!
They are pretty comfortable for OWB carry. The grips(the part that tends to print more than any other) on a carry revolver are usually smaller than those on semi-autos. These factors lend themselves to program compliance. Which means you're more likely to carry. For the home where concealability and carry on the body ceases to be an issue, a larger defensive tool(such as a shotgun) can fill that role. Though I'd feel pretty comfortable with a large frame .357 Mag within arm's reach as well. Just in case time or circumstance forbids getting to the shotgun.
of course they are. They are most useful to those of use who don't pray and spray. Rule # 1, make your first shot count as though it was the only one you have.
One word answer to the title question: YES.
A double action revolver is easier to operate than a semiauto, does not need any confusing safeties and it is NOT dependent on the power of the ammunition it eats to make it function reliably.
The best revolver for concealed carry is the 6 shot Colt Agent .38 Special --- better than a 5 shot Smith.
The perfect open carry duty revolver is a 6 shot S&W Model 19 .357 with a 4" barrel. My very first duty gun back in 1981. I do NOT recommend carrying full load .357's. Most people can't handle the recoil, especially if you need a fast followup shot. Stuff your .357 with .38 +P's, and you will do just fine.
That being said, my carry gun is a Glock 30 in .45ACP because it is as easy to operate as a revolver, UNLESS IT JAMS.
The FBI agents in the Miami shootout did not have speedloaders for their Model 13 revolvers. That certainly hurt them.
It was a good old 12 gauge pump shotgun that actually ended THAT fight.
Carry what you want, but PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.
BTW, "ideal" is situation dependant. I would say that in many situations a weapon that is relatively immune to less than ideal grip and to physical contact is infact ideal.
Yes. There are a variety of handguns for a variety of reasons.
Im 46, ex Army tanker plenty of choices in the safe my edc ( truck gun) is a six shot snub .357 eaa windicator in satin stainless. While at home I carry a 40sw or 9mm

Of course not, you need a pistol in 30 Super Carry or 357 Sig for defense. Revolver bullets will just bounce off the threat.
🤣🤣🤣
Revolvers have been around and protecting forever ! Like you said, most likely to never need it, and if so 3 shots is the average, plus like your story when you shoot back with whatever you have most bad guys don't want any part of that ! Only these young guys and unknowing feel they need a high cap semi auto !
YES, they are a viable option!
As cool as some are, full sized revolvers dont do it for me..but J frame sized wheel guns feel way less akward than pocket pistols to me, even with the BC gap and high bore axis. both can suck to shoot depending on the load and weight, but thats the trade-off for more concealment. Also it doesnt get much sexier than a blued snubby.
imo the reload disadvantage is slightly exaggerated.. its way more complicated, but people saying it "goes out the window under duress" are just judging everyone else by their own shitty standards. History is full of people successfully reloading surpased firearm technology..Ayood method helps
My brother in Christ, there are still people carrying cap & ball revolvers in 2024!
Yep 🤠
more importantly, they don't drop the shells with your fingerprints on it at the scene. 😅
🧐…..🤣🤣🤣
Mine has 3 Federal 410 2 1/2 000 buckshot and 3 Winchester .45 Colt in it.and the 4 buckshot stay together like The Blue Angeles out to about 17 feet... does that meet the criteria?
My EDC is my old flintlock single shot derringer, it’s more than adequate
I carry at least one or two revolvers every day. I just dont like magazine fed handguns.
What else can you load and toss in your glove box for 20 years, let it bounce around for all those years and be extremely confident that if you needed it, you could grab it, pull the trigger and it will go bang?
Good point 🤠
Agreed
Don't know, Would not want to be on the wrong side of one to find out the hard way
Your argument is perfectly sound! I coudn't agree with you more! Revolvers are very reliabil and safe and almost idiot proof..it is a fighters gun in a close quarter fight a semi auto, must be held correcly for the slide to reciprocate, something that is difficult to achieve in the above mentioned kind of fight!
I live in a rural county in west central part of Oklahoma that has a higher per-capita violent crime rate than either Lawton, Tulsa, or OKC.
I feel perfectly adequate with my 3 inch snubby and have no desire to carry or own a semi-auto. They're super comfortable to carry, unquestionably reliable, and have all the firepower your going to need.
One thing that often never gets considered, is that revolvers are looked upon very favourably by the police. When I have been pulled over by police, they are very much reassured by my carry option. I'll never shoot anything, but a revolver.
I have both but generaly carry a j frame 38 or 357
I dont need to practise tap rack. Dont need to know failed feed, failed extract, double feed, stove pipe, etc. Carried wheel guns and semi autos and I prefer wheel guns....
I enjoy revolvers.
Me Too 🤠
Years ago a condo on the coast of Israel was attacked by around 6-9 terrorists. They were armed with select fire rifles. They were repelled by a single resident who killed three immediately. The others fled and were later captured. So what weapon did the resident use? Uzi? Nope. AR? Nope. Shotgun?nope? Semiauto handgun? Then what? A 22 Ruger Single Six.
That’s what I’m talking about 🤠
Yup
Not that it matters, but MY .02? HELL YES wheel guns are still viable! ;-)
Semi's are great, no doubt. Doesn't mean I WON'T be carrying/lugging around my Ruger SuperRedHawk (.44 mag.) AND .12 pump shotgun when out in apex predator areas (Bears, Mtn. Lions, WOLVES, and now the damned feral hogs are arriving. yay).
I'm not as much of a fan for EDC in people areas, though I have zero doubt about how effective they can still be when used to stop any human criminal/murderer. It's just that said criminal/murderer is almost definitely wielding a semi, which gives them an uncomfortable advantage.
most criminals will not stick around from the first round of a defender's gun, they're not there for that. even most groups of criminals would scatter when a defender starts shooting. there are those who would, worse if it's a gang who wants to fight it out, when they know the cops won't be there in a short time. A person needs to gauge on what they think they will face!
Agree 👍🏻
I LOVE my Smifs!!!!
Are revolvers still a viable self defense option?
A lot of folks use them both for pocket carry and concealed. Can't beat their reliability compared to autos. Capacity won't matter in a real world five second gunfight where no one will get through a mag or cylinder let alone have time to reload. But carry a reload just in case of that less than one percent chance of multiple threats and a longer gunfight. Capacity will matter if living in a gangland high crime area where multiple threats are common. A lot of gun snobs will deny all that and argue with me that their autos are better and revolvers aren't serious for defense. If that was the case revolvers would not still be on the market and folks would not still be buying them. They are not facing reality that they are not in some video game or some fantasy action hero. Nor are they law enforcement or a soldier that needs and shoots all that extra ammo. They are a civilian on the street, not going to war or on some battlefield. They should be responsible gun owners that regard the four rules of gun safety and the fact that they are responsible for every round that leaves their gun with a lawyer attached to every bullet going down range.
What!!!!!!! Not enough Firepower? 44 Magnum is stopping 4 leg predators.and some hunt with 44 Magnum. And the words of detective Callahan aka Dirty Harry: I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE THINKING DID HE FIRE 6 or 5 TO BE HONEST I LOST TRACK MY SEE BUT BEING THAT THIS IS A 44 MAGNUM THE MOST POWERFUL HANDGUN IN THE WORLD ASK YOUR DO YOU FEEL LUCKY TO WELL DO ?
It’s not the Bow & Arrow, it’s the Indian!
Yes I would NO doubt use my vintage 1952 post war Regulation Police .38s&w caliber in a home defense scenario if I had too for I cannot miss any target out to 15 yards for if I do my part the gun will do its part for it's that accurate I kid you not and the police used that caliber back in 30's and it's still a viable caliber and at point blank range it won't matter anyway especially out to 7 yards or so for in home defense !!!
Good video bro !!

Until they can get 44mag power from a Glock 19, revolvers are still viable. Unfortunately i have had to draw 3 times and shoot once. It sucks but its a product of the world we live in.
People believe that revolvers are more reliable but in actuality they are less reliable. That was a marketing thing that S&W started in the 80s. Im a gunsmith and hear this all the time. I end up showing them why it is wrong. You jam the cylinder, dead gun. You obstruct the hammer, dead gun. The revolver has many more parts and is more susceptible to pocket lint and foreign objects. I had a k-frame come in that was jammed. Wouldnt open.(dangerous) the hammer was jammed slightly back. It had so much garbage in the sideplates and part of a $20 bill jammed beside the hammer. So yeah, it matters, you need to be reliably cleaning a revolver. Not so much with an auto.
Lol no one ever said revolvers were no longer viable.
Any weapon, any caliber is viable. That's a silly statement.
Lemme get this straight , you're asking if the most reliable guns to shoot are still viable ? Is this even a serious question ?
