It’s been well documented for decades that the average shooter is able to manage better duty/combat/rapid fire accuracy with a low recoiling pistol than with a double action revolver. Equally, forensic testing has shown statistically there is no difference in man-stopping capability between 9mm and 357mag, such the additional powder and recoil of service/duty revolvers is only affecting the shooter, not the assailant on the business end.

Fewer and fewer old hold-outs are out there any longer, so we see less and less of these silly articles extolling the imagined superiority of revolvers for LEO and .mil applications. Even as a lover of all things wheelgun, I’ll be glad when the last of these are published.
