D55,

Thanks for the cautionary advice. I will heed it carefully.

Revoltella,

Only problem with my revolvers is that they are all single action revolvers.

I understand that I have to rack the slide for the first shot. But trying to cock a revolver for every shot might create a minor disadvantage.

I must hasten to add that it is very unlikely I will ever need to protect myself from a home invader. For this reason every consideration is worth reviewing.
I do thank you for your advice and clearly acknowledge that it comes from far better experience than mine.
