- The Doctor went shopping and accidentally picked up a pair of Kimber revolvers, a K6s 3" and a K6XS, to be specific. These purchases have turned his whole world upside down. He presents this video as a highly conflicted man. However, you will be happy to know that he is diligently working his way through his internal struggles and will emerge a better man...with a much better grasp of where revolvers should fit in a tactical guy's armamentarium.

Tactical guy wouldn’t be able to defend himself with revolver. He’s too busy reloading his 17+ one Glock because he missed 18 times.
You do realize statistically speaking that you're most likely to be attacked by more than one person right? That's why you need more than 6 rounds.
@@no-barknoonan8798 cool story. I have 22 years of active duty law-enforcement experience here in the state of Indiana.
Thank you for quoting some nonsense, You’ve read on the Internet that’s not based on your own real life experience.
I’ll be sure to add your nerd, tactical keyboard warrior nonsense to my repertoire.
@@Mowkade why would I want to put myself at a disadvantage by having an inferior weapon?
@@no-barknoonan8798 Well having been in numerous real life active shooting encounters and surviving them all. I guess I'm just not as scared as you.
I Suppose you can only be shot at so many times by men with fully automatic rifles before you realize that aiming and your ability to hit on target every time is the most important thing.
Everyone these days practices spraying as many bullets downrange as fast as possible and they think that this is what counts. I know a lot of dead men who the same thing.
@@Mowkade an individual's ability to shoot isn't determined by what weapon they carry. You're making the assumption that people who carry semiautomatic handguns don't train with them. That doesn't change the fact that a revolver is an inferior weapon to a semiautomatic pistol. Bearing that in mind, why would I put myself at a disadvantage by having an inferior weapon?
If you've watched John Lovell from Warrior Poet Society for some time, you would have seen the video where he speaks about being on his property doing some work, which required him to remove his "tactical" pistol because it was interfering, and then running into the homeless OD'ing person trespassing. In such a situation, would you rather have a tricked out Glock 17 style pistol in a safe, or a 5 shot .38 revolver on you?
Dude, I would take my 2 shot 38 Derringer if need be…but the more fire power the better. The truth is, I’m loving my new revolvers!!
I remember that. It was surprising hearing his honest account as Gun Tuber who was caught completely unarmed in a situation like that.
Yup crazy situation
I’d want my phone to call 911.
@@DrTac umm no the more fire power the less accurate you are
I am more accurate with the revolver as well, but did anyone consider the stopping power? I mean .357 > than 9mm or am i missing something?
No question...while both calibers are no joke, shot per shot I'll take the .357 magnum all day long.
And the revolver is more flexible in power level and bullet design as neither affects function.
In addition to the revolver being a bit more comfortable to carry, they lend themselves to concealability. It is the grip of a handgun which tends to print more than other parts. Plus, even when you can see the bulge of a revolver from beneath clothing, the outline is more difficult to identify. As long as you stay out of a war zone, it is my belief that a revolver(especially a magnum) is capable of saving one's bacon. I've seen a good number of real-life self-defense videos where a group of criminals flees as soon as the defender drops one of them. The morale of their group is quickly shattered and rarely does anyone else step forward to be next. Common criminals appear to be different from soldiers who will continue to stand and fight while suffering casualties.
I completely agree…and the five or six shot revolver that I’m comfortably carrying trumps the fifteen round semi-auto that I decided not to bring with me because of comfort and printing issues.
Hahaha...no, just no. The total ignorance is sad...but funny.
Yeehaw 🤠 😂 Doctor Tactical Cowboy!! This is going to be interesting- I will be sure to stay tuned on CC Holsters for revolvers as well!! 👏🏼
I feel like a whole new door has been opened😎
@@DrTac Yes 🙌🏼 it has my trendsetter Doctor Tactical Cowboy 🤠 it’s a whole new frontier!!
A lot of good and valid comments on these posts. I only want to address 1 point. I concur that Revolvers feel great to carry and shoot more comfortably than a lot of autoloader. Used as a tactical backup in an ankle holster, one can carry all day and have 5-6 shots as a backup for their primary EDC firearm. I have carried for years with both. I keep finding that for ankle carry a 5 shot is comfortable and prints less through a pants leg than an autoloader. The lower profile grip makes that possible.
Interesting point. In the winter time, I am a huge fan of a revolver in the jacket pocket...because you never even need to draw, just shoot through the pocket.
Or a revolver as primary since I am most likely to be in an up close and personal situation and the auto as backup in the unlikely event that I stumble into a gang war.
To be honest using a revolver as brass knuckles seems to escape the plastic gun croud. Wyatt Erp in Tombstone adjusted the attitude of a bad guy with the wheel gun boop! Would eject the magazine on a play school plastic gun!
Yup, it's definitely a fighter's gun!!
Reminds me of the Merwin Hulbert with the "Skull Crusher" grip and the nice sharp trigger guard spur on the S&W Model 3 Russian. Nice features for the brawler. 😊
I've been carrying a handgun of some sort pretty much every day for the last half-century (I'm 72 years old, by the way). A long time ago I started with a Hi Power, and have been toting a semi-auto of some sort ever since. My usual choice has varied among a full-size M1911, a Hi Power, or a CZ 75 B. I always carry them IWB.
The issue I find with a revolver is not so much concealing the revolver. It's carrying spare ammo.
(Of course we all know how compact a spare magazine for a semi-auto is - especially a 7-round M1911 magazine. But the choice for a revolver pretty much amounts to a speedloader. And a speedloader is the same diameter as is the revolver cylinder. Yes there are the speedstrips, but they're pretty slow compared to the speedloaders.)
But the odd thing is that, regarding the comfort of the concealed carry of a semi-auto, it is not so dependent on purely the SIZE of the semi-auto as it seems to be on the balance (maybe?) of the pistol, or maybe the holster itself.
A case in point. Several years ago my older brother passed away, and from his estate I inherited two Ruger handguns: A .357 GP100 revolver, and a KP89DC semi-auto. The P89 is a HOSS of a semi-auto! Built like a tank! I never thought I'd be able to carry it IWB. But on a whim, I bought a Don Hume belt-clip IWB holster for it. I stuffed the P89 in it and "boned" it a little to make it fit the pistol a little nicer, then I put the P89 in my safe and the holster in my box of holsters.
Last week, out of pure rainy day boredom, I got out the P89 and the holster and rigged it up to my belt. I was amazed at how comfortable that big old artillery piece carries! I can't explain it, but it just disappears under an un-tucked t-shirt! I happen to be carrying it right now.
So don't think that you have to EDC a dinky pocket pistol. Give that big gun a chance.
So just a word on the spare ammo. Yesterday, I was just watching an old video of Clint Smith, of Thunder Ranch, and he said something that I feel like I should have known, but I didn't. He said that the reason you should carry spare mags with a semiauto is NOT because you may need more rounds in the fight...in fact, he was pretty emphatic that that was highly unlikely...but he said (his words) that with semiautos there is a decent chance that the magazine will "shit the bed," and your best bet is to replace it immediately rather than fucking around with it...he then went on to point out that this is not a problem that revolvers have.
You know, it's funny, you have found that you can comfortably carry a much larger gun than you thought possible and I now find myself carrying 2 guns, a compact semiauto and a snubnose revolver and I'm surprised how comfortable that combo is.
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
Every time I see someone complaining about a revolver I seriously begin to doubt their credibility on anything else they're saying...
I carry a 3" Colt Python as my CCW. I've been shooting Revolvers my whole life. Not only do they carry more comfortably, shoot more accurately, they have plenty of other excellent features everyone overlooks when they go all "Tacticool" on the subject.
For starters let's talk about stopping power. Whether you want to admit it or not, .357 magnum beats 9mm every day. No other HANDGUN round has more proven data (FBI logistics data available online) for one shot stops than 357 magnum. Granted if larger magnum rounds were carried more often we'd see different numbers. But they're not so it is what it is.
The average stopping power potential for 9mm according to FBI and police analysis was 3 rounds of 9mm on average to bring a situation to a close. Many times, that number is significantly higher than 3 rounds. JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE CAPACITY DOES NOT EQUATE TO BETTER!
For every 3 rounds of 9mm that's the equivalent of 1 round of 357 magnum. I'm not some math expert, but that's roughly 18 rounds of 9mm is the same amount of stopping power as 6 rounds of 357 magnum. These numbers are all just rough estimates. The real data is available online. But the point remains the same, one round of inherently more accurate 357 magnum is significantly more deadly than one round of 9mm when it comes to stopping a threat. So capacity is honestly a moot point here. Wyatt Earrp said it best "Speed is Fine. But accuracy is final."
Reloading. If people put half the time they spent complaining about how slow it is to load a Revolver into actually training to reload they'd find it's actually much faster than you think it is. Practice makes perfect, and you can never have enough practice. No it'll never be as fast as a flared magwell in a Staccato but you can reload a revolver in 3-4 seconds with practice easily. Faster with a practiced hand and equipment quality.
Intimidation factor. Now this topic is HOTLY debated on whether or not it's even worth mentioning. However it does stand to reason when needing to MAKE A POINT OF VIOLENT INTENT a Handcannon rolling over a cylinder full of 357 magnum makes a hell of a point compared to a plastic Glock. Many gunfights have been won by psychological effects on the opponent. It's a lesser investigated factor, but a factor none the less.
CARRYING SITUATION PREPAREDNESS! If you know ahead of time where you'll be, let that dictate your carry option. A barbecue, a birthday party, a nice restaurant with the wife, sitting in church, a Revolver is MORE than adequate in almost every normal daily routine situations. If you're planning on going to a crowded area like a mall, Walmart, stadium, festival etc. Where the likelihood of more potential threats will be then sure carry a 9mm with some back up mags instead. Just makes sense.
In closing I'm not saying don't carry a high capacity 9mm, I'm saying that people seem to forget how to carry and use their Revolver tactically in a defensive situation. They point out the cons and forget all the best pros. It's sad honestly. I'll take reliability and dependability and brute stopping power all day long over the ability to fire more bullets.
Thank you for your very well thought out comment. I am in complete agreement.
Staccato CS and CZ Shadow 2 compact. The Doctor has taste. And some long pockets.😂
Hey, don’t forget the Staccato XC😉
Tactical cowboy been around for a while. Since Tactical leaver action and coach guns showed up.
I not sure exactly what a Tactical guy is.
But most everyone i knew from CERT still carry a revolver + a auto.
Hell some still carry 3. A ankle holster good when sitting.
Yes, I looked it up…that’s why I made the correction…Doctor Tactical Cowboy is mine🤠
I just ordered a wilson combat with an rmr to carry based off ur last video, now ur saying I can carry a revolver? Say it ain’t so doc! 😭🤣
Welcome to my world!! …BTW, good call with the Wilson Combat!!
Anyone else have a problem when someone is discussing attributes of some item and the major point they push is the comfort of said item, and they can't pronounce it properly?..just me?
Comfortable = the ability to experience comfort
Comfterbull= the ability to experience comfter?
LOL, I can't believe that this is what is becoming of my channel...but what the hell...I can lower myself to this comment: czcams.com/video/C8_neIXioXc/video.htmlsi=CgHnZTTd2Y1P2w-T
@@DrTac it's obvious that you can't lower yourself to speak English either. 😆
Tactical to me refers to someone who could encounter multiple attackers on more than one occasions like a SWAT team. A citizen defender would be a person that carries for self defense in the event of an attack. Big difference.
So, I've come across multiple definitions for "tactical" and none of them mention "multiple attackers." Basically, anything that involves achieving a goal utilizing specific and well practiced tactics, qualifies as "tactical." Obviously, this is the methodology of the military and law enforcement agencies, however, a tactical approach can definitely be employed by an individual in a self-defense scenario. Thank you for taking the time to comment.
@@DrTac OK then I wear tactical rubber gloves when cleaning a toilet. It's OK I understand.
@@DrTac In the context of the American civillian firearm community and market, the way I've observed "tactical" most consistnently used is "gear, training, and doctrine meant for fighting people." Emphasis on fighting, as that is different from self-defense.
Can someone explain what a "Tactical Person" is ?
Someone who thinks out, trains, and prepares to use specific tactics in order to achieve a goal. This is clearly how the military and law enforcement address a variety of scenarios, but also encompasses civilian individuals who approach self defense from a prepared and thought out manner. I hope this helps.
try a single stack semi auto its just as comfortable imo
Not really..unfortunately, you’re still married to the harsh angle, required for the semiautomatic to feed off of the magazine…and worse, most have beaver tails. I agree with you that single stacks may be comfortable to shoot, but when it comes to appendix carry, they can’t touch the roundness and smoothness of a revolver.
The Fuddiest Fudd that ever did Fudd. You sir, are Garand Thumb for Fudds. I bet you go to the Yankee Marshall's channel and compliment him unironically.
Thank you, Tolliest Troll that ever did Troll😎
i will agree to disagree with you doctor strictly speaking for “conceal carry”. it is less prone to malfunctions than semi auto in real close encounters and is able to fire from a jacket pocket or any where. if you’re taking outside the waistband open carry then i will agree with you semi auto is better than revolver and is far more tactical. but thanks for video and your opinion. i love your content and been a long time follower and will continue to be one. also i would like to add for the record i conceal carry a semi auto more than a revolver but my reason is i am more accurate with them. in the summer is where i get the snubby out most often. also the high capacity mirco compact semi auto can be real comfortable as well.
Great news, there is nothing you just said that I can disagree with…I’m definitely finding myself getting dragged into the revolver rabbit hole…and I Like it!!😎. I appreciate you, brother!!
Revolvers are objectively obsolete. Period. Full stop.
The ONLY thing they do well is shooting from a pocket, an even more rare than being struck by a meteorite & killed.
Tactical. The term implies immediate action to overcome a specific problem. Fighting a pitched battle is not 'tactical'; it should be planned in advance with allowances for unexpected developments.
Handguns are tactical in the sense they are designed for immediate remedy of an unexpected - surprise - circumstance.
Were one expecting with some definate knowledge, one would carry a rifle. A rifle has a greater range, greater potential accuracy and is generally more efficient in repelling deadly force. (Tunnels and stairways possibly excluded. A handgun is carried, either openly or concealed, to answer an immediate problem In that regard, the revolver is quite useful.
In my private life, I have never been beset upon by a reinforced battalion of Red Chinese soldiers. (Likely a machine would not fare well.) I rather expect to be criminally approached by three evil doers at the most. The only reason for more than six shots immediately is missing the intended target. This is the reasoning for the "... thirty shot burst ... concept of self defense.
Also, one finds that having 'many' rounds available tends to discourage accurate shot placement.
Why in the world would “having ‘many’ rounds available” discourage accurate shot placement. Round count and accuracy are mutually exclusive. I would contend that someone who shoots accurately would do so regardless of their available round count and someone who shoots sloppily, well they shouldn’t be shooting. Telling someone to handicap themselves by having less available ammo in a life and death gun fight because it will sharpen their accuracy is kind of crazy…there are no rules in that situation and you want every possible advantage in your favor.
I agree that a revolver brings some unique advantages to a gunfight that cannot be matched by a semiautomatic, but decreased capacity is definitely NOT one of them.
@@DrTac Round count discourages accuracy by discounting hits as one has much more ammunition left. It is essentially the idea sold by firearms competition which ignore the inherent ability of some calibers serving the function better and replacing accuracy with round count, or 'tries'.
And to further display your ignorance of the matter, you fail to recognize the accuracy level in use of any arm begins PRIOR to the need. This applies to self defense, hunting, or bullseye target shooting.
'"Doctor" initially denoted anyone with a certain level of knowledge of a subject. From this, we have 'doctors' of various subjects. With my fifty-five years of firearms use and seventy some years of life, I am still a student of life in general.
Feel free to justify yourself. I'm done with this asininity.
When is the last time that you had to fire more than 6 rounds to protect yourself? I'm guessing that you have never fired a gun at anyone
Totally true. I also have, and thank G-d have never needed, one of the nicest automatic defibrillators made, in my office. In addition I have an incredible fire suppression system in my office, yet no fires....I'm sorry, what was your point again?
@@DrTac You made it for me
Ah the FUDD ignorance is strong I see.
Open carry is better.
If it’s a legal option, I agree 93.4%…the only sacrifices are the loss of the element of surprise and the possibility that while you are focused on something else, there is a chance of your firearm being taken from you. All other things being equal, open carry wins.
This is not great advice
Which part didn't you understand?
