Why Use A Revolver?

Some key advantages of carrying a revolver are high reliability, simplicity of operation, and the ability to fire more powerful cartridges than many semi-automatic pistols. A revolver’s straightforward design makes it a dependable choice for self-defense, particularly for new gun owners. Plus they just look very cool!

Reliability:

• • Fewer malfunctions: Unlike semi-automatic pistols, revolvers are not dependent on gas pressure to cycle a new round. This means they are less susceptible to jams, failure to feed, or failure to eject.
  • No “out of battery” issues: A semi-automatic pistol will not fire if the slide is not fully forward (“in battery”), which can happen if the muzzle is pressed against a target. A revolver’s cylinder design prevents this from occurring.
  • A “second chance” on a bad round: If a round fails to fire in a double-action revolver, a user can simply pull the trigger again to rotate the cylinder and get a fresh cartridge. A semi-automatic pistol requires a more complex “tap, rack, bang” drill to clear the malfunction.
  • Tolerates neglect better: While semi-automatics tolerate heavy use well, a revolver is more likely to function properly after sitting loaded for long periods without maintenance.

Simplicity of use:

• • Simple controls: Revolvers have fewer moving parts and controls than most semi-automatics, which typically have magazine releases, slide stops, and external safeties. Most revolvers simply require the user to pull the trigger.
  • No slide manipulation required: People with limited hand strength, such as the elderly or infirm, may find it difficult to rack the slide of a semi-automatic. A double-action revolver requires only a pull of the trigger.

Versatility and power:

• • More powerful calibers: The revolver’s simple, rugged design can withstand the pressure of very powerful cartridges, including popular magnum rounds like the .357 and .44 Magnum. These are often too powerful for standard semi-automatic actions.
  • Multi-caliber functionality: Many revolvers can fire multiple, less powerful calibers from the same cartridge family. For example, a .357 Magnum revolver can also fire the less powerful .38 Special and .38 Special +P

Recoil:

• • In a revolver, once the hammer drops, the bullet exits the barrel, but nothing else moves. The equivalent amount of energy that just went forward with the bullet is also sent backward to your hand. It may “feel” a little different if you have a very heavy revolver, or one of the new polymer revolvers that flex and “absorb” some of the recoil, but the energy is the same. Your hand will feel pretty much the full force of the forward-traveling bullet.

Why Do You Need To Upgrade To This Part?

As I mentioned, Glocks are great handguns – some people like them and others do not.  And that’s OK!  Some people think they are ugly! Some people think they feel like a 2 x 4 in your hand! And some people really like them! I am in the last group.

OK so you know that I like Glocks and I have four of them. Even though they are my favorite handguns, there is one thing that is always a pain about a Glock and that is removing the slide from the frame on the pistol, the takedown lever (right top picture – white and red arrow) was really hard to keep ahold of, while you hold the slide back to a certain place. So you would usually try a couple of times before you could do it.  Then came the extended slide stop and that made all the difference in field stripping your Glock.  It only stuck out a tiny bit more than the original and the edges were serrated a bit more and that made holding that lever down so much easier.

They feel good in your hand, they shoot good at the range, and they conceal and carry nicely how ever you want to carry them: concealed, open carry, etc. They seem to work flawlessly with all types of ammo and people have very few negatives to say about this handgun. The Glock 19, Gen 5’s are highly recommended and that works for me!
