Handgun Video! Revolvers VS Semi-Auto

[Xero]

Couple of things...Jerry Miculek proved you can cycle a revolver faster than a semi (I'm faster on steel plates with a revolver than a semi)...With a revolver I get all my nice brass back.
Worst thing with revolvers now is the price has increased dramatically due to the use of "plastic material in semi's (cheaper production cost) and because not as many revolvers are made now since LE have switched to semis; so economies of scale are not in effect.

I'd say that for a normal person, semi-autos are likely still faster if you're trying to be at least somewhat accurate. Jerry Miculek isn't what I'd call an "average shooter"... :P

Modern, slick and informative... all youtube gun videos should be like this

Good video. Got a laugh from the out takes at the end. I've been to TSE quite a few times, but I've never seen Steve. He must spend too much time in the office LOL

Its like drum brakes vs disk brakes. Disks are superior by a whole lot in most applications. But there are a few applications where drums are the best.

^ Can't think of one.

Awesome video! Now I'm going to have to get a revolver to compare. Damn it.

I'm never selling my GP100. I've got my last semi auto pistol for sale though. Maybe one day I'll find the right one...

I've always found revolvers awkward to hold and hard to hold onto (maybe the little grips they have?).
Semis seem to fit naturally in my hand (at least) and never any issues holding onto them.

Good video. I'm an old guy so it took a long time for me to go from revolvers to pistols, but much to my surprise I was far more accurate with a pistol than a revolver. Strangely, out of all the pistols and revolvers I've owned, the Star super b is the most accurate for me. Perhaps we all have that perfect gun partner out there for us.
