According to a lot of tactical super-ninja black-bag operators out there, if you don't carry a Glock or some other whizbang, gee-golly automatic, you're behind the curve and you might as well be driving a Flintstones car. Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE my Glock 19 But the fact is that the revolver is actually PERFECT for the life-saving tactics I and two other combat-experienced gun trainers show you in our extreme close-combat shooting manual here. And here's why... 1.Revolvers are much simpler to use. Most are a true "point and shoot" weapon with no external safeties to fuss over. 2.It's hard to jam a revolver. A lot can cause an automatic to stop running and during a real gunfight, that's the last thing you want to happen. 3.Revolver grips offer better concealment. They're generally smooth and round, and you can get a shrouded hammer or a hammerless model with even fewer ways to catch the gun on your clothes. 4.You get a more aggressive grip when drawing. The revolver's rounded grip fits your hand better and, in combat, you can get a better "combat hold" because the cylinder pushes the gun out away from your body just enough to firmly pocket the handle in the web of your hand. 5.Revolvers excel at "contact shots". An automatic may jam with a "contact shot" or if the slide hangs up on clothing, but a revolver will keep shooting as long as the cylinder is free to spin. (More on lethal "contact shots" here...) mcs-mag.com/s/cqc-shooting-guide Now there IS one indisputable argument for the automatic - the "firepower capacity" factor. While a revolver will only carry 5-6 rounds, the auto can carry up to like 15 or 16. And stats show that even in super close-range attacks, more than 75% of your bullets won't even hit your attacker (because of the "adrenaline dump", physical struggle at close range, shooting while moving, etc.) That means that with a wheelgun revolver, the average gun-owner will only land 1 or 2 "hits" - and that may not be enough to stop an attacker. But that's why you DON'T want to be a "gun-owner". You want to be a "gun-FIGHTER" - someone who knows how to stop an attacker even in an extreme close-range ambush. That's the way you're most likely to be attacked. Unfortunately most of the so-called "tactical training" out there doesn't do much to prepare you for this type of threat (or they train you the wrong way). For that, you need extreme close-combat shooting tactics mcs-mag.com/s/cqc-shooting-guide that are specifically developed for when an attacker is already up in your face or has ambushed you from behind. That's way different than your typical range training or marksmanship training that most instructors offer. But make no mistake - if you don't master this type of training, you're at a huge disadvantage against a violent criminal who's not going to let you get your gun out and draw on him like you've practiced at one of those fancy gun courses. Sorry. Not gonna happen amigo. Better you learn that now... and survive later. Yours in survival, Jeff Anderson Editor MCS Magazine Poster Comment: Shooting is a tactical art.
