For me I more often than not have associated the auto pistol with work.
I immediately think of strapping on my plastic gun and a couple of mags and doing what I do:
When I think of revolvers, I normally associate them with fun, my free time, etc. The exception being J Frames. My old J Frame being a pretty constant companion for the last 20 years, and thousands of rounds. Excluding it, I normally think of hiking, hunting, exploring, etc.
When I think of revolvers, my mind normally goes to places less traveled, and adventures.
Even if the biggest game ever taken is a wily desert Jack, revolvers make an adventure better.
