My carry weapon is currently a 9mm Glock 26. It is easy to conceal and my wife isn't afraid to shoot the 9mm, so she can carry it when I'm not around. My next new carry pistol is going to be a SA Ruger in .41 mag. I decided I want a more powerful weapon, and I want one safer to carry.

Often when you need your weapon, things may have already devolved into rolling around in the dirt. Trying to draw and fire in that situation is a problem to say the least. You want a weapon that will function up against your body or snagged in clothing and you want one that will buy you some time if it gets away from you. A bad guy gets his hand on your gun and the first thing he's going to do is try pulling the trigger. With an automatic or a DA revolver, that gun is going to fire. Most thugs don't know what a SA wheelgun is, so you get a couple of seconds there to remedy the situation, without catching a bullet.
