Chuck Haggard article in Recoil Concealment magazine

I haven’t bought a paper magazine in awhile but I was in Sams Club and was leafing through this one and saw Chuck Haggard’s article on revolvers. I didn’t want to be a cheap bastard so I went ahead and bought it instead of reading it in the store. I can’t tell you much about the rest of it but I thoroughly enjoyed that one article. Excellent work Mr Haggard, between this article and the Glock 42/S&W442 thread over in the semi auto forum y’all have walked me back from the edge of buying a semi auto. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3251f46993.jpg

Excellent article Chuck,thanks. Missed you at the round up this year but will CYA next year.....Retro

Excellently-worded, short, to-the-point article. I would love to see the original, unedited version. I sense that the magazine editor removed some material.

Yes, indeed, revolving pisols are still relevant.

In hindsight, I should have “grandfathered” a few of my revolvers as primary duty handguns, back in 1997, when my employer went to an all-DA-.40 standard. (I grandfathered three .45 ACP 1911 pistols, until 2002. Duty firearms policy opened-up again, to a degree, 2012-2015, but revolvers were not added to the list of approved primary duty handguns for uniformed personnel.) Realizing my mistake, I soon resumed bringing a 4” GP100 or Speed Six to work with me, on police patrol, as a “back-up” handgun, until late 2006 on a regular basis, and irregularly for a longer time. Felony suspects continued to see the business end of my revolving pistols, when I had advance notice of trouble, and had time to pull the sixgun from the Safepacker.

In the twilight of my police patrol career, I may well resume the habit of bringing a big “back-up” revolving pistol to work with me. Our new Ford MBUVs (make-believe utility vehicles) have cramped interiors, making the quick deployment of a long gun problematic, and a recent rotator cuff injury inhibits my handling of long guns.
