If you're going to call the tune, you'd better be able to pay the band.
Good stuff from Darryl as usual. Attending a HITS class is high on my list of things to do.

A good summary of many points he has raised over the years, both here and while dominating the occasional podcast. Nice to see these thoughts on service-size revolvers written down in one place for reference.

I wonder where he got that sweet 2.5" Model 19?
Didn't we just have a thread about how unreliable revolvers are?
Personally I believe a properly cared for and loaded revolver that is not dropped in a pile of goo before use is the most reliable tool for chest to chest and the less trained .....especially in smaller format weapons.
BTW great article.
Great piece. I’ll always have revolvers around.
To that subject, his comments about cars and the often necessary free-floating aspect of shooting while inside one really resonates with me.
I’ve said it here before: the two times that an otherwise rock-solid Gen3 G17 shit the bed on me in training was punching steel through fresh windshield glass from inside a training vehicle and being upside down, bridged over with a steady stream of rainwater going up my nose and inside my ESS glasses. That gun never malfed in any other conditions, but when grip and stance gets compromised, even a vetted G17 can reach limits of tolerance that a similarly vetted service revolver would shrug off for the first 6 rounds.
