both McNeill and Hanlon said they felt most vulnerable when they were empty... and trying to reload. With a revolver... you have less capacity, and more involved reloading process. You also are taking your focus off the threat and putting it on the revolver. Sorry, but for as many people say they have Jerry Miculek revolver reloads... he is an outlier, not the norm. Even with moonclips, you can fumble a reload.
9 out of 10 FBI agents are not gun guys. I carried a 357 for 20 years on duty and rarely felt "undergunned" But I also was and am a competitive shooter.

(if Dove had a backup, might have been very different; Risner instinctively went to his when his sidearm ran dry, but was too far away for a J-frame to be that effective).
Sorry but no. The fight took place in an area defined by square feet. A j frame is effective as far as you are with one. Incidentally, That is what was used to finally end the fight.
