carry gun???

[wraithen]

No, it was a general comment. Handloads seem to blow up pistols... weird...

 I own a FiveSeven and am not worried.

I have two: A CZ75D compact in 9mm with 14 round mags, and a SP101 in .357 with the 3inch barrel. The wheelgun is much easier for concealing, but I like the capacity of the 9mm.

Keep in mind that only 5% or so of gunshot wounds end up being fatal, so don't expect any hand gun to be a guaranteed killer.

The reason your cousin had to fire multiple shots is probably due to the fact that NATO forces only use ball ammo that tends to pass through the body without much damage.  Had he carried a magazine full of Critical Duty or Guard Dog, many of his enemies would have received a one tap ticket to Allah. Reconsider getting a 9mm.

No offense, but anything mechanical can malfunction.

+1, not to mention a bad primer can occur in any round.

Sure any firearm can malfunction, but revolvers are far less prone to 'em. Besides, when you get a simple malfunction (ie failure to fire, say a bad primer) in a revolver, you just pull the trigger again. In a semi auto, you must "tap and rack" then pull the trigger.

All that said, I usually carry a semi auto.

Yes, even the safety on your rifle or the brakes on your car, etc.....    HOWEVER, wheel guns have always been considered IDIOT PROOF in the gun business... you pull the trigger it goes bang....  no worries about magazine buttons being pushed by accident or feed jams to be cleared when you need the gun the most... for beginners a simple .357/.38 revolver is always the best route, until they have enough experience to know what they are doing around a handgun....   

Those of us that were raised around firearms, have been shooting since before we could actually hold the gun up .. forget sometimes that some people just do not have the experience or the moxie to deal with the more complicated semi autos... especially if they are even remotely intimidated by owning a gun.

Just saying I have seen revolvers lock up or the timing is off and I have heard of one guy pulling the trigger six times and not a single shot fired.  How many revolver guys would even think about owning a judge for protection (I wish they were better built, I would want one).  I am not against revolvers, but I don't think they are entirely idiot proof as people say and anyone that new to firearms might want to take a class before buying anything.  I saw buy what you like and what you can shoot well and who cares if its semi or revolver, but don't get a false sense of security that your revolver will never let you down.

On the Semi malfunction side: I own a few and the one has never failed and it has been shot by 20 to 30 people that have never touched a pistol before, no jams and no dropped mags.  I have even stopped cleaning just to see how long it can continue to cycle.

I like a .45 entry hole !

[buckfvr]

I like the 44mag....big hole in, big hole out....

[CAMPMEAT]

So it's kinda like a glock? 

If that is directed at me you've wasted your energy - I'm not a big fan of Glock

What's your issued gun ?

[wraithen]

If that's for me camp, it's a beretta m9. I can't shoot the thing for anything. Always get a middle of the road score. I'm better with my g27. I think the sights are what screw me up.
