A while back someone I follow posted 'Let's give wheel guns some love.' I posted back that 'Wheel guns are more reliable for (reasons).' I then was hit with more replies to that simple statement than I'd ever had to anything I could possibly post. The 'reason' I gave was lambasted by @monsterhunter45 and various others. In one case by a 'former Delta' it was lambasted as 'Boomer fudd bullshit.' I've recently been watching a bunch of police videos. There is one particular pistol that in those videos, about half the time they fire it it jams. (Don't recognize it, not real up on modern pistols.) I've seen multiple other jams from other types but if I saw that one I'd avoid it like the plague. (In one case the reason it was jamming was given as 'the officer has a wounded hand so he cannot support the recoil well enough to stop the jamming.' This in the middle of a very active firefight. If your pistol won't auto-load because you don't have the perfect grip, it is NOT designed for combat. OTOH, saw that exact same model jam in multiple videos. So, I'm going with it jams alot. You know what very rarely jams? Revolvers. Because they are inherently simpler. Yes, much fewer rounds. They are much much simpler mechanisms. And what got me about ALL the replies, including Larry, was that these are people who have grown up in a very supportive ecosystem. The fucking gun culture in the US is so advanced compared to my day it's impossible to keep up with unless it's a full time job. But the EXACT SAME PEOPLE always talk about 'WTSHTF.' You wanna know what's going to be fucking working ten years after an apocalypse? Colt Python .357. Doesn't matter if it was made in 1979. (That's probably going to work better than one made today.) Know what's not going to be working? Your Super Omicron Uberpistolero 1000. That shit's going to have broken down in a year, four at max, without support. I know people who know people who do actual Third World merc shit. Kill people for fun and cash. They've all got Super Omicron Uberpistolero 1000. (Along with all the Super Omicron long guns, etc.) They all carry a revolver as a backup. (They also test fire everything before a mission. Which is something to keep in mind WTSHTF.)
