.38 Snub Nose REVOLVER - ALL you REALLY need in a EDC CCW

Wild boar is my concern.

Jerry Miculek would disagree with you on your stance on wheel guns.

Great gun. Moon clips make reloading fun too when having a range day. I can't say which I prefer "more"... hammerless or with hammer when it comes to small revolver... BUT I do like the quick pull you can have out of a coat pocket in the winter from a hammerless.

Enjoy it man!

Wild boar should not be a problem with 10mm as long as your shot placement is good.

Wise words. Best way to not get killed in the first place is avoid the fight all together. Three best self defense items God gave us are our eyes and ears... and FEET!

I would use it as a back up in close quarters or even grappling scenarios where deadly force was justified.

No hammer would be best for this, especially if firing from a jacket pocket and no hammer that can be interfered with by the bad guy.

Moon clips are an AWESOME plus. Would go with the 9mm because that is what I have with me.

Also I’m old school, and like simplicity...

I have a Marlin lever in .38 as well, so cuts down on different ammo. And like the revolver is tried and true, and not prone to malfunctions.

In the apocalypse there’s gonna be a lot of folks with broken down ARs, unless they took the time to stock a lot of parts.

I have to agree with you.

Also, the ones who choose a high caliber gun must think they're hunting elephants. Are they going into combat? I don't think so. And, if they are....bring a long gun. Kapesche??

BINGO!!!

I just sold most of my wheel guns, two colt pythons. Still have a LCR, it great for mountain biking. I almost got taken down by some loose dogs a couple of years ago, LCR was inexpensive, i got it in a .38.

I own several but there’s so many better options

Literally impossible to argue with the ubiquity, reliability, and parts availability for Glock handguns.

Have a 19 and a 43. Like them both. I do prefer the sight acquisition / raise of a 1911 or similar angled grip.

But 30 round mags, All the roni stuff, etc. They are great.

I suppose since this is a CCW convo I will keep my thoughts to the 43.
I love the slim profile of the 43. Love it love it love it. Great sized gun that still has a decent capacity and packs a punch for a single stack of it's size....but gotta be honest and this could just be totally in my head, I often appendix carry and don't like that trigger on the 43 with one in the chamber pointed toward my stuff.

Don't point your Glock at your C***.

FN 5.7x28

Lightweight, fast rounds, ammo is small and it’s damn deadly.

I'd prefer a 18 round 9mm+P. With the .357 snubby as a back up.

Mhmmm..still haven’t got my hands on a python. Someday when I have the extra cash, that’s a no brainer for me.

they're in production again so prices have fallen
i've seen a couple lately under $2k.

one of the clearer and more concise arguments I've read.

back in the day I taught several women to shoot and
usually recommended a revolver. it's simpler, no slide
to operate that requires strength and most women are
looking for a simple tool, not a religious cult.

I keep one in the glove box of my car at all times.

Love his closing statement at 14:25

oops. response to this

During heavy adrenaline, surprise attack, perhaps already being injured (struck or stabbed or even shot), being able to just grab and shoot and not worry "is the safety on or off" , "is a round chambered", "oh shit I had a failure to feed!" etc are ALL reasons I feel a small wheel gun is an incredibly reliable, and perhaps best choice for CCW.

Watch the Active Self Protection channel on YouTube. You might decide a revolver isn’t enough anymore. Remember we just had a summer of race riots in 2020. America is not that far away from being Somalia anymore. You can never carry to many spare mags unless you are swimming or on fire.

I have pistols but love my wheelguns.....my house gun is a S&W 649 .357 shrouded hammer snubbie.....I can fire it from inside my robe or house coat pocket without drawing....I answer the door with it.....no safeties to mess with, just point and shoot.....I'm a low risk guy and not a drug dealer so I'm not worried about a home invasion by a gang....

Hitler was Austrian.
