[QUOTE="Grill-n-man, post: 5409847, member: 12966"] 6 big booms verses 15. Very good comment. Now this idea/theory being based on first hand articles I’ve read and interviews with attack survivors through the years, is simply this - a semi auto will give the vast majority an incredible advantage for multiple shots. Failure rates on wheel guns during attacks are higher than than most realize. This is a debatable all day thing and really ends up being a personal choice. Watch an IDPA match especially with newer shooters and you’ll see failures with wheels and semi. As far as the wet, dirty, and nasty there are a crap ton of men that survived beaches to jungles and every other hell hole they were forced into with a good ole 1911. Reliable in the nasty comes into play in the build. You want one ragged hole at 25yards get a $3000 show piece. Want to come come home get a $500. Rather have it rattle and work in hell or the yard than be able to comb my hair and ooh and ahhh. Many think wheel guns are simply pull trigger her bang. Not so much If it’s a single action you going to have to cook the hammer, readjust grip, acquire target best you can, and fire then start all over again for next shot. Double action you’ll have to getting through about 12-15 pounds of trigger pull to rotate cylinder, chocolate chip cookie hammer, and fire while retaining on target. But like I said the facts and opinions are out there for both wheel and semi. And it really ends up being personal opinion. Again really good comment thank you. Glad this site is finally getting back to conversations instead of insults and butt hurt [/QUOTE]
