(17,493 posts)handguns. A few dinosaurs like me still use revolvers. I do own several semi-automatic pistols including .22 caliber target pistols and a couple Colt .45s. I prefer to use a revolver for home defense as they are reliable and uncomplicated. I also legally carry a concealed snub nosed revolver for self defense. Younger shooters seem to find a revolver harder to master than a semi-automatic pistol especially in double action.
I dont hunt but I do talk about hunting with those that do. Many tell me that they feel a semi-automatic offers them the advantage of a quick follow up shot. Many states limit the magazine capacity of a semi-automatic hunting rifle to five rounds. Feral hogs are common in the area I live and they do considerable damage to the environment. I understand that the five round magazine limit doesnt apply when hunting feral hogs on private property as they are considered pests.
