I had a guy on INGO asked if I "ride a horse to work" because I still think a revolver is a viable defensive weapon...I used to be cool and hip, now I am just old and decripid with outdated Revolvers and semi automatics that came out in (gasp) 1911!
Glocks came out in the 80's. Revolvers in 1800s. Evolved to double action, cartridge loaded, still work. 1911's well, .... still work. Give me most older guns, they work. Colt and Smith & Wesson are milestones.
