@@sandhilltuckerNot sure what you think you did there, but dual drum glock mags are pretty much the ONLY unreliable Glock mags other than ProMag/aftermarket extended mags.
one, it probably wasnt loaded, considering how this guy has been operating. and two, he might mot even be in the way, he's off screen, all we know is that he's behind the camera and close
@@soloshottiebut assuming he was behind the camera he violated at least two of the rules of gun safety, always treat a gun as if it’s loaded, and never point the gun at anything your not willing to destroy. Which even if he wasn’t behind the camera, he pointed it at the camera.
One big advantage of revolvers, especially with concealed hammers, is that they can shoot even if fully enclosed like from a pocket, bag or even from under a bedsheet where a semi auto will usually nit cycle. Also, revolvers practically never jam or fail to cycle properly. That being said, in most cases a semi auto is still the better option but there are some advantages of revolvers that shouldn't be overlooked.
@@etanb1 while there are many places for dirt to get in, there are only very few parts that can be obstructed by dirt. The only real risk would be the hammer, but this again can be avoided with a concealed-hammer revolver.
@@antonymous9196 yea that’s why I said mainly older revolvers, I would imagine the main points of failure in this respect would be around the hammer and the cylinder
Yall ever heard of forensic science? Ballistic testing? If you really think that way I feel bad for the level of stupidity you live with every day. They dont need casings to convict and if you are actually defending yourself you wouldn't have shit to worry about regardless 🤷
@@collapsenprotectKnow i'm late, but don't revolvers not have threaded barrels for silencer mounting because silencers don't do jack on a revolver anyways?
As a self defense trainer it really always just comes down to the person and their exact situation. Everyones carry gun will be different unless they are just following a trend. Same goes for home defense gun. Personally I have a rotation based on where I’m going who I’m with etc. by myself just going to pump gas and straight home? Usually throw on my LCR or 43x. Church? Grocery shopping? Other target rich environments? I carry full size which right now is my SFX Rival with TLR7A and RMR type 2. Carry what you shoot the best is my general advice.
I hope people don't really pay you for self defense instruction if your advice is just to carry "whatever you shoot". People like you are probably the reason why people carry .22s, .50cal desert eagles, 5 shot revolvers, 500 s&w magnums with 10in barrels, or cheap .25 auto Saturday night specials.
@@oni_goroshi No one said to carry “whatever you shoot” except you. I said carry what you shoot best. That is general advice that works for most people. With that you should make sure what it is is also reliable which MOST modern handguns made in the last 10 years are. Not only do people pay me they pay me well because unlike you I have a high level of training and have been doing this for years. I’m paid every day to carry a gun you aren’t so stay in your lane and next time you try to quote someone get it right.
@@oni_goroshiit's really easy to cherry pick words out of what someone says to take it out of context and try to discredit them. What he said was very sound advice. Also, just a side note, .22 can be a very effective round. State trooper in NC shot a guy 3 times center mass with a .357 mag. Guy shot him with one .22 round. Trooper died, guy lived.
@Im_Tessa Yep trying to make him sound like a psycho. He's saying that because of the environment he's in he'd rather run a full size canik rival which I think is smart in said scenario. Go be afraid somewhere else.
Well yea, they really drank the NRA cool-aid regarding and think they understand the 2nd amendment when they really don't. Unless if you are part of a state militia, the 2nd amendment can only be guarenteed to you for "lawful historic purposes" via the due process clause of the 16th amendment... There's an annotated version of the constitution that offers an incredible amount legal & historic background (with citations and links to digital sources) for each amendment that is hosted on congress at constitution.congress.gov. Totally recommend reading it when you get a chance!
@@carlsteffensthe difference is you usually can rotate the cylinder and keep shooting if you have a misfire, compared to spending time clearing a misfire.
“No-one has ever said ‘this gun has too much ammo’” I can imagine a handful of politicians, and even the President that come to mind when complaining about over-abundant ammo capacity-
Yep. I've heard all of the revolver vs. semi-auto arguments. My answer is both. In bear country the 44 mag revolver is primary and semi-auto is the backup.
@13BravoBiggunsM110SP this right here👍. The .327 federal magnum is so underrated. With a heavier grain Buller it nips at the heals of the .357 in ballistics but with half the recoil. I was in the market for a ruger LCR .327 but cannot find one for the life of me. I ended up buy the SP101 in .357 Can't complain but the .327 is a beast and deserves more love!

@@tankhordge5201Still more credible than all the white dudes suddenly dropping dead to stupidity to pave the way for all female led communities and overrepresentation of any color but white.😂
At the end of the day; both are great options. One may be preferred over the other but they both go bang and make a big ouchie that scares away the baddies.
It will never cease to amaze me how gun fanboys go nuts defending “their” preferred system, when the two systems are very different and optimize different features. It’s like, bro if it works for you, THEN IT WORKS FOR YOU, who cares what works or doesn’t work for other people.
@@colinhaieck2299Semi-auto pistols are terrible choices for pocket guns, if you're in a situation you need to shoot from your pocket the gun will go out of battery. Even if you can squeeze one shot off it'll most likely jam while it chambers a new round, and then you'll also have hot brass in your pocket.
Strangely enough, this reminds me of the difference between digital photography and film photography. They have the same explanation. More shots vs very few shots. I still prefer revolvers.
Reloading while running around the room ducking to cover between the four pillars conveniently in the room while talking about how much I love reloading
When I worked at a gun store I always interested new gun buyers in modern automatic handguns first. I believe in giving a shooter a firearm thats fits them, one they will enjoy taking out to the range time and time again. It was only until they showed trust in the revolver system that I would recommend one. It takes more steps and understand to opporate a revolver, I'd hate for a new shooter to be overwhelmed by one.
98% of revolvers failures are between ammo problems and extremely long term neglect. Primer swell being the most common reason for failure to cycle. Then dud round. Then failures to advance into battery. To be fair once you have one of these they are all harder to clear than most auto failures. At the end of the day, you just have to train with the weapon you carry. If you dont any malf on any plaform is worse than it has to be.
@@collapsenprotectso why make this video? According to the video, revolvers are totally obsolete and you can’t think of a single reason why somebody would carry one, and yet you do every day.
@derekeastman7771 Mostly because I made a video about revolvers from the opposite perspective. It's fun to play devils advocate, and you get lots of strong opinions from other people as a result! 👍 opinions are cool, guns are cool, and the reasons for using different guns are cool 😁 I carry a revolver and a semi auto every day at work. They compliment each other very nicely.
Son of a retired cop here: Revolvers are way way low maintenance. And can be left loaded for a long time without affecting stuff like mag springs and the like.
I've seen a guy that had totally white, lead round nose .38 special in his gun and none of them went off. He also had so much crap in it from his pocket and years of neglect that he had to visibly shake while he was pulling the trigger because it took so much force. It barely even cycled. You still have to take care of them and the ammo. But ill give you one thing, loading and unloading a revolver doesn't damage the ammunition over time like in a semi auto.
Son of a retired cop? That means nothing. Your no subject matter expert. I promise you however much experience you have with guns and whatever guns you own are a joke to the average person in kentucky. I’m the great great great great great grandson of a British general in the revolutionary war. I can’t tell you how how fast Paul revere ran his horse though.
As someone who carries a S&W .44 a few things: 1. In 90% of self defense cases (where your everyday carry is all you have) 6 shots is MORE then enough to stop a would be assailant, especially if its .44, and if your being attacked by more then 6 guys at a time, then either you pissed off the Don or you are living in GTA 2. Less attachments mean less moving or bulky parts interfering with the compactness of the firearm, plus do you really need a flashlight unless your in a dark building? 3. As for the heavy trigger issue, may i present the ironically older: single action firing, pull the hammer as intimidation or while its in your pocket, boom, hair trigger
"1 shot 1 kill" Not really no. You still have to hit something vital. A .44 mag is better than a .22 LR because it does more damage to what it hits, but in general bullet effectiveness scales pretty slowly with caliber or energy.
In the end, revolvers are traditionally cooler and more portable and semi autos are generally cooler and more functional and I personally prefer them more till I just played RDR
Counter points for Revolvers side. #1. Some people don't want anything extra on their guns. #2. Revolvers can't jam and are far more reliable. #3. You never have to worry about running out of mag's for your gun. #4. Snub nose option's #5. Revolvers can sometimes be easier to conceal while carrying a higher calibre then a Pistol that is the same size as the revolver. For example a small pistol that is a 380, could be the same size as a revolver that is a 38 special with a snub nose. #6. There is an automatic 20% increase in badassery using a revolver. There isn't a wrong answer, it's just about preference and how you use it.
A lead chucker is always better than no lead chucker. Id take a revolver over nothing. Id take a revolver over a flintlock or derringer. But id take a run-of-the-mill glock over the best revolver any day.
I pocket carry an EAA Windicator 357 snubby revolver and a double stack 9mm right-side iwb with a 15-round magazine left-side iwb. They both serve their purpose.
You can shoot a revolver with it in your pocket. If you feel in danger and you don't want to brandish your weapon, you can hide the fact that you're holding a weapon.
@@gtarules1in the case that your semi auto doesn't get put out of battery trying to do so, it will for sure jam when the slide goes to move backwards after the first shot from the pocket. Wheelguns don't have that problem.
Bro i wish Cedar Point would’ve went through with it cause Michigan really needs a better amusement park or at least more love to their current amusement park
I see your apx actually works i had to trade mine after like two weeks i liked it just had a problem with light fires and ejection even tried all sorts of ammo and cleaned it after each use i could have just bought a bad one but switched to glock and cz and been good
Agreed. I would go for a semi automatic pistol for my primary edc and a small handy revolver for my secondary if ( finger crossed 🤞🏼not fail or jam) my primary fails .
Well... I love them both... Honestly I love my revolvers... They never fail...outside of bad ammunition...But I love all my semis as well... Loved the flashlight plug! 😜
for really compact and easier concealment (also for sexier look):revolver ------------------ for easy use and extra attachments, fast reloading and tactical feel: semi auto glock (or any pistol for that matter)
The easiest way to sidestep this argument is to carry both. I always have a semi-auto IWB, but in weather that requires a heavier jacket that will impede my draw stroke, I pocket-carry a S&W snub. I can shoot it through my coat pocket, with the whole point being surprise so I get time to reach my other pistol. It also gives me some options if I were in a situation where one gun suffers a major failure or I had to arm a second person. It doesn't always work, but I have done it on the regular in nasty winters.
Tbf, IMO the only goot use for a revolver is the option for high powered rounds where you won't need to shoot often. The S&W 500 being a notable preference for me at least Another perk for revolvers is that you don't need to worry about how you preload the mag. You can put in different round varients of the same caliber to suit your preferences on the fly.
"No one has ever said this gun has too much ammo." That's cool. Revolver carriers have never had to say, "My gun jammed from shooting in a compromised position, 1 handed, or went out of battery from physical contact."
@@DeadlyBreath9790Getting a light still won't change the fact that you can't fire a semi-auto from a jacket pocket. Even if by some miracle the pistol doesn't go out of battery you'll still have hot brass floating around your pocket and most grips on semi-autos just aren't the right ergonomics for that situation. But for most situations a semi-auto is certainly better
While you can say the revolver didn’t jam from those situations, they can have timing issues and light strikes, as well as issues if you don’t pull the trigger in a certain way that can make it not fire. Every system will have limitations, no mechanical thing is immune from failures. Every tool has a situation it is suited to, and sometimes that’s the revolver, sometimes it’s a semi-auto.
That's cool. My semi-auto carriers have never had to say, "My gun jammed now I have to take it to a gunsmith and pay to get it fixed." Semi-autos are simply superior in every practical sense. Revolvers do jam. Stop poisoning yourself with fuddlore.
@@dr.robert5322 You’re an idiot if you think revolvers are somehow less susceptible to issues lmao. You’re bigger idiot if you think a revolver will *ALWAYS* go bang
Why would you put a gun in a pocket. You don't know exactly where the firearm is meaning you have to grab the firearm and hope you don't accidentally pull the trigger. If you can afford a gun you should be able to afford a holster
There are points most people miss when comparing Revolers to semrevolver. 1. It may be easier to insert a mag into Semi-auto, but it will take you longer to reload that mag than it will to reload the cylinder in a revoler. 2. If you drop the mag on a semi-auto and lose it you are screwed, pretty hard to drop the cylinder of a revolver. 3 , revolver don't, stovepipe, fail to feed , fail to eject, or go out of battery as offen as a semi-auto, 4. Limp writing a revolver doesn't is not as much of a problem.
As a revolver guy these videos make it seem like most semi auto guys seem to say: "wait, I have to use iron sights AND aim instead of spraying? Noooooo!"
