CCW GP/K/L frame vs single stack auto, why?

[Half Moon]

For those who didn't get a program at the front gate, P&S #166 is Revolver Bias with @Hizzie, @jetfire and @Chuck Haggard. #197 is Snubbies! with @Dagga Boy and Chris Baker of Lucky Gunner (is he a member here?). I re-listened to Revolver Bias today and started re-listening to Snubbies before leaving work. I'll finish it up tomorrow.

Between the 2 podcasts, I was reminded of the 3" LCR models. Next time I'm at the range I'll have to see if they have any in the rental case and give them a spin if they do. I get the impression either the .357 3" LCRx or 4" SP101 could be a potential Goldilocks for me.

For what it's worth, you may want to consider the longer barrel if you're thinking actual belt carry. With AIWB I've found revolver barrels to 4" make no difference to concealibity and in some circumstances are actually even more comfortable than a snub of the same frame size.

Here's Skeeter Skelton's thoughts on barrel length, including 'belly carry':

When I went to pull up the article I found the owner of darkcanyon.net has sadly passed and the site is no more. It lives on in the Wayback Internet Archive :-(

is there a link? from what i can tell is this early in the transition to semi by non gun people?

[Hizzie]

It’s a shame @Dagga Boy is taking a break from the forum. This conversation would be right up his alley. I recommend listening to the P&S episodes about revolvers and non-standard defensive weapons for anyone that hasn’t yet.

Wealth of responses from DB and others here https://pistol-forum.com/showthread....article-in-MSW after my Revolver Relevance article.

Thanks

Yes, thanks. That’s some solid reading right there...

Thank you BehindBluel's, what a treasure trove of information. I became distracted perusing it, good stuff.

Also contact shots, both successful with wheelguns and pushing the slide out of battery with a GLOCK. Several shots taken within clothing, as well.

Wanna know how I can tell that someone hasn't been to a Shivworks class?

That one can keep an auto from tying up through technique and assure proper execution as best as possible by quality practice after mindful instruction wasn't the point. Nor was the point to dismiss increased retention concerns that result from allowing the gun to float out toward the adversary as it does with contact shots. The quoted post just came to mind while flipping through a book.
