I have a lot of love for both, revolvers hold a special place in my heart and I carry one with me hunting every time I go.
50 cal lead balls have killed more Americans than any other projectile but I don't see anybody toting a Hawkins
And a train use to be the fastest way across the country.
From a Police magazine....
The Perfect SWAT Revolver
The worst thing that can happen to any law enforcement officer is to have your pistol jam when you need to use it to protect life and property. As the story goes, a police SWAT team reportedly contacted Smith & Wesson to discuss the need to arm the lead penetrator who carries the ballistic shield during tactical operations with a revolver instead of a semi-automatic pistol. The rationale behind this request was to provide a handgun to certain SWAT personnel that would not jam or malfunction, especially if the firearm made contact with the ballistic shield or any other obstruction when it was fired. In response, the Smith & Wesson Performance Center developed the Model 327 Tactical Rail Revolver in .357 Magnum with an eight-shot capacity.
Different tools for different jobs. I am not about to kick open a perps door. I carry a J frame. My MIL, who is 92 has a J frame because she cannot rack the slide of any semi auto pistol. I don't believe there is one gun or style of gun that fits everyone. But, those who disagree will shout and holler and ....well....you have seen it before.
The revolver sales are good to very good. Obsolete, no.
When was that article written?
They may not be fast but they definitely get the job done.
