This is a tough audience...lol! I just watched a bit of gunblue490’s Glock video, and at 12 minutes, he says “back in the day”, and “before multiple attackers”, revolvers were enough. He also cites his readings on the number of rounds fired in a home defense situation, and concludes that 5-6 should be plenty, but “that’s up to each person”. Personally, I keep a Sig P229 in my nightstand drawer, and carry a Sig P365/Glock 19 on my waist when I’m not in bed. I’d appreciate anyone’s account of a running gun battle, home invasion statistics and stories. James Yeager was asked how many rounds a pistol should hold in an active shooter situation. Yeager responded, “How many times do you plan to miss.” I can’t believe I quoted Yeager, but that makes some sense.

I’ll admit that I didn’t catch all that, as I was fast forwarding thru the vid, because this guy tends to prattle on..Where I did stop, was where he made the comment about 5-6 rounds being enough.. Maybe that works for him, but IMO, it’s still bad advice. Granted, a revolver is better than a sharp stick, but it has its limitations, which you summed nicely with Yeager quote..

I found myself fast forwarding a lot during his lengthy video, and stopped when he arrived at the U.S. military’s need for a higher capacity pistol. I watched that video over a year ago, and he basically says that Glock forgot to add a safety on their pistol.
ETA I use a semiauto, because it has a light rail, and I do attach a light to it. The idea of unlimited capacity has fascinated me since watching Captain Kirk shoot his phaser, but even he had to throw it at someone once in a while. 😂
