Much of my opinions on a First Response weapon come from my Father-in-Law.

Cath's (Wife) Dad (a Marine) taught Pistol Proficiency at the the OCS at Annapolis, MD, and his preference in a pistol at home, was a 38 S&W.

He saw how Adrenalin affected many capable men, in tense moments of Life & Death conditions. K.I.S.S. was his mantra! (He taught Cath how to shoot a pistol well, and she could out shoot me, easily, when we would have Rat Shooting Dates at the town dump in High School!~!!)

This is also the idea behind most choices of hunters/guides and hikers here in the mountains of Wyoming, where there is a very strong possibility of a grizzly encounter.

Most snicker when they see a youngster in the mountains with a semi-auto at his side. A wheel-gun just cannot be outdone in trusting it to function in many more possibilities than a semi-auto.

Again, JMHO on this subject..and what works for me....

Respectfully,

Bill
