    I prefer a revolver since I grew up with them ( started shooting pistols over a decade before the glock was introduced and changed defensive handguns overnight) and with the exception of a tuned 1911 I can shoot them far more accurately. If you know how to handle one they tend to be more accurate than autos

    I learned on a wheelgun and carried one for part of my LE career as a duty weapon. I greatly prefer a snubby to a small auto.

    There's a lot to be said for a K frame, 4" .357. Jim Cirillo did pretty well with a plain-Jane Model 10 Smith...

    I carry a 24-3 RB snub 44spl most of time, never feel under gunned. I have carried and fired so many rounds
    through it there is only about 50% finish left.

    i don't think I'll trade up my 9mm Glocks as my EDC's and only carry revolvers, but realistically for the average American a quality small frame revolver will probably suffice for all their self-defense needs. I don't think Joe Sixpack is under gunned if he can get rounds on target with that revolver.

    I feel like revolvers, especially small ones, require a bit more training. Those that prefer them only had them for a long time and thus got good with them.

    More power to you guys, I can't shoot nor manipulate wheel guns for crap.

    I'm the exact opposite. I like a revolver as a bedside weapon because of its simplicity. For everyday wandering around I prefer an autoloader.

    A revolver is too wide for a concealed weapon and the limited amount of ammo is a turn off.
