Honestly, I came to Jow Forums for some gun talk, but it's swamped with pony porn.
I'm added this thread just to try and clean out the garbage.
That being said, I compete with semi-autos, take classes with semi-autos, and teach with Semi-auto's, but I carry a 38 snubbie because I feel like if I ever have to defend my self, it will be a point blank range muzzle in his guts kinda situation. That, and I can slip it into a jacket pocket and still fire with no problem.

I bought my snubbie from a cop who swore that he only carries revolvers off duty because it's nice that they don't eject casings in the event that you ever need to use it. It cracked me up that a cop was basically using that as a selling point. "Hey kid if you shoot someone, you can toss the casings in the harbor along with the gun afterwards"."
