Aside from that, revolvers can function with a wider range of out-of-spec ammo than an auto. In a SHTF scenario, that's a bonus. <br /><br />Yes, I know revolvers can malf. It's happened to me.

The 9mm snubbie would give me a number of options - and deserves a good look. And I've never had an issue with my .44, so I have no reason to expect one with their 9mm - especiallybigdrumdaddynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293484.post-19863873136777665242012-08-04T08:46:19.952-06:002012-08-04T08:46:19.952-06:00If the trigger action isn't hideously heavy an...If the trigger action isn't hideously heavy and grungy like each of the other four Charters I've owned, this looks like an addition to my battery.Bill in PAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293484.post-46061682614313332272012-08-04T05:45:02.399-06:002012-08-04T05:45:02.399-06:00I believe that this design will sell well, as oppo...I believe that this design will sell well, as opposed to the designs you mentioned, due to the extractor design making a "star" clip unneccessary.

Seems fairly rare to require a reload while bullets are still flying.
