I again watched the Usual Suspects the other day and was surprised how many BHP's they used, I did not remember that.

I wonder why this gun did not have a more widespread following and impact in this country during the revolver heyday from its inception in the 1930s. It wasn't until the proliferation of the Glock, Sig and Beretta 9s that law enforcement hung up their revolvers. I guess there was/is a significant chunk of pistoleros who were just not comfortable with single actions.
