Revolver vs Semi-Automatic Pistol

<< < (4/4)

Lorimor:
If there are any ranges that rent guns near you, go there and try several out.  If you can make a Glock 17 (9mm) or a Smith M&P v2.0 in 9mm work for you, great!  Revos are more difficult to shoot accurately in DA mode (the way you SHOULD be shooting them in an SD situation).  Shooting a DA revo accurately certainly can be done, but takes much more practice IMHO. 

Double stack guns like the Glock sometimes are an issue for folks with smallish hands.  Handle, rent and shoot as many models/manufacturers as you can before purchasing.

No one can predict how many rounds one may need to finish a fight.  If six are good, 17 are better.

9mm is certainly adequate if you can place the rounds properly, which is true of ANY common SD caliber.

Then once you have purchased the firearm that you can operate comfortably, i.e., reach the trigger and mag catch without all kinds of contortions, seek training on how to shoot it well, how to manipulate the gun (reloads, draw technique, use of lights, malfunction clearance, etc) and legal aspects of using lethal force.

This is a damn good offer.  I would definitely take advantage of it, even if I had to drive a ways.
