If you do carry, then a revolver might be a better choice. Needing two hands to put the gun to use can be a major problem (see post 12). |

In response to Casimer:
One advantage to the lack of second strike capability that many complain about re: Glock, M&P, etc is that one does not waste time pulling the trigger a second time on an empty chamber - it is not an option. Personally, I think second strike is not a good idea. It will only help for limited types of stoppages; I prefer to go directly into stoppage clearing mode. |

If I had to carry in condition 3, I would put extra training time into learning to cycle the slide using only one hand - with each hand.

@ Aarondgraham
Yes, I've known about that law all along, and I was leaning towards revolvers on the practical front, but the problem was the absolutely ridiculous retail prices on wheelguns. I could get an HK for the price of a Taurus revolver over here. I got the Glock first for that reason. A decent gun at the right price. The Redhawk came up later and was far too good a deal to pass up. @ fiddletown I can carry outside the home, but at the moment I don't and I don't yet know if I will, with the exception of forest camping with my dogs... @ Mleake Re racking one handed, I'm planning to do that. The place is a building site right now so everytime I want to get the gun out I have to move a ton of stuff, so spontaneous training sessions have to be planned hours in advance!!
