Revolvers for home protection...are you crazy?

Фильм және анимация

We discuss the viability of revolvers for home protection in this video.
People ask me all the time which semi-auto pistol should the get. When I ask some clarifying questions about the intended use of the handgun there are all sorts of answers.
For many reliability, simplicity of use and moderate recoil tops their list of attributes. As the conversation continues I ask if they've ever considered a revolver. One new shooter said "you must be crazy". He felt, based on reading so called experts on the web, that he had to go with a semi-auto. As the conversation progressed he defined the role for the handgun was home protection and he wanted his wife and older daughters to learn to use the handgun. The gun wouldn't be a carry piece but needed to be easy to use, reliable and not have too much felt recoil.
We discussed pros and cons of revolvers and semi-auto pistols. Some time later we took his wife and daughter to the range and had them shoot several handguns. His wife and daughter liked the operation and simplicity of the S&W 686 better than anything else. They didn't like the .357 rounds but felt great about different .38 special +p loads. At the end of the session the family felt best about the revolver.
With practice and training, I'm confident this family was better served by the revolver that a semi-auto.

    One way to overcome the capacity issue, since revolvers are slow to reload, is to do a "New York reload." That means carry two guns.

    For self defense, a revolver is a great choice, short barrel, light weight, point and shoot. Six rounds are enough...how many reports of a running gun battle do you hear about during home invasion? Knowing how to use your weapon of choice makes all the difference, but a revolver takes away the malfunction possibilities of semi-auto.

    Thanks for your perspective. I own several revolvers and think they're a good option for personal protection. However, I have had revolvers lock up... three times (over 30 years). One was out of timing and the other two stoppages were induced by hot .357 ammo causing the projectile in the cartridge to "jump the crimp" thus locking the rotation of the cylinder.

    Before my wife and I moved in together and got married she lived in a bad part of town. I had taken her out shooting a few times but at the time she was not really into shooting semi-autos. She didn’t own a gun yet but she enjoyed shooting my S&W Model 15 and shot it well. After a few months of shooting she had a few creepy incidents with a teenage neighbor where he was peeking into her windows all around her apartment and knocking on her doors at all hours of the night. Talks with the parents, landlord, and the police actually made it worse. I let her borrow a revolver of mine and we finally went and bought her her first pistol. We ended up getting her an ugly scratched up S&W Model 10 4” with a pencil barrel. It’s super clean inside and shoots like a dream. Now that we are married and live together she mainly shoots Glocks now (the 26 is her favorite) but that Model 10 still sits in her nightstand and pull home defense duty. Why? She trusts it and shoots it great! The Glock 17 sits next to me but that old beat up beautiful Model 10 still works like a dream after all these years. Fantastic pistol that I would trust my life to in a heartbeat.

    Over the last few years, I have shot Glocks in 9mm. Lately, there has been a severe shortage of loaded ammo as well as reloading components for this caliber, so I brought my old ( bought in 1975) S&W model 19 to the range. I shot some 38 reloads I had forgotten I had, as well as a box of 38s available at the range, a total of 180 rounds. All shooting was done double action. Frankly, I was impressed with the handling and accuracy of my old revolver, my first ever handgun. I agree with you that a revolver is a very capable weapon, and enjoyable to shoot as well!

    Revolvers are great and still have a place in the world. They work, they're simple to use compared to semiautomatics, and you have to learn less about them before you can use them effectively. To avid shooters like us semiautos are just as simple to use and maintain as a revolver but you have to look at this from the perspective of someone who doesn't know anything about firearms. My grandmother doesn't care and doesn't want to really learn much about guns but still want protection. Showing her how to hold my Smith & Wesson Model 64, load ammo, eject used casing, and pull the trigger to fire took no time at all. Compare that to teaching her how to use my Walther PPQ took much longer (racking the slide to load a round in the chamber, how to clear malfunctions if you have a failure to feed or the spent casing didn't eject out, how to disassemble the gun, how to load ammo into a mag, how to rack the slide to get rid of the round in the chamber after you drop the mag, and so forth). It got slightly more complicated when I tried to teach my grandmother about hammer fired guns (decockers, engaging and disengaging the safety, how to drop the hammer if you only have a safety, and so forth). With a revolver, you load it, point, and pull the trigger. With a semiauto you can still do that but with a few more steps (and more knowledge of how to fix malfunctions if they ever happen). My grandmother now carries a Ruger LCR as her conceal carry and I gave her my Smith & Wesson Model 64 for home defense if she needed a little more velocity and accuracy. She's gotten pretty great at shooting too for someone who rarely does it and doesn't really care for it.

    I think the fact that a revolver is so simple, and so easy to check for loading, along with the heavier double action trigger, makes it a really good home defense weapons. I retired from a long career (28 years) in law enforcement. When a homeowner even cranks off one round at a burglar, all the burglar wants to do is be somewhere else. I can't think of one single home invasion/occupied dwelling burglary we had where six shots were not enough. And, we were issued Smith and Wesson revolvers at my first two agencies. And, I really think most people tried to be better shots, when they knew they only had six immediately ready shots. You see a lot of "spray and pray" in shootout now, with fifteen shot autos that every takes for granted now, but didn't happen with revolvers. I think it was Jeff Cooper that said something like, "Missing someone with fifteen shots is not nearly as good as hitting them with one."

    A revolver is timeless. What I like about revolvers is you can store One in a closed end holster loaded for 6 months to a year in a drawer or wherever you keep it without having to worry about springs wearing out or losing tension and anyone can operate a revolver a model 10 is a fine piece of equipment in a crisis sells you have to think about is pulling the trigger on point after pointing it at the Target for somebody who isn't really into guns but once a gun around for protection or revolver fits that perfectly. When I lived in Houston back in 96 there was a elderly woman who was wheelchair-bound and was the victim of a home invasion. She wheeled herself into her back bedroom and close the door and shut the light off. When the home invader entered the room she was in she shot him once through the neck and he died on the spot. The paper said she used a 38. Dimes to donuts it was the the Smith & Wesson model 10. This timeless workhorse has served soldiers sailors airmen Marines Coast guardsman security guards and private citizens as a reliable simple effect of self-defense tool since year of Our Lord 1899. Obviously if you were in law enforcement where the average pistol you would encounter on a suspect holds 15 rounds you would want something that at least held 15 rounds. I could ramble on forever but the point is revolvers work beautifully for home defense always have and probably always will.

    Revolvers are a great option. The concerns about spring tension of a loaded magazine is really not an issue. I’ve tested this with fully loaded AR, AKM and pistol mags for 1,3,5 and 8 years. All function fine. Thanks for watching. Hope you’ll subscribe.

    I own many handguns revolvers and semi auto, shoot them all the time and familiar with all of them, but I keep a full frame 357 magnum revolver as my home defense gun to grab in a moment's notice, not that I think the revolver would give me the most firepower or is somehow better than any of the semi auto pistols I own, but I feel safer using my revolver in a stressful situation that I would not accidentally shoot myself, since the heavier trigger pull is a type of safety in itself , and there is also less chance of a failure to fire where a bullets primer fails to ignite, I can just pull the trigger to cycle another round which takes a millisecond, The same thing happens with a semi auto and you would have to rack the slide to eject the bad shell which does not take very long, but under extreme duress I might not even think about doing that and just stand there pulling the trigger over and over , You would be surprised how your mind goes blank under such life and death situations, so the less there is to think about in that instant the better.

    @@andrepoghosyan8269 I disagree Sir, granted it's harder for some magazines to wear out more than others, but, one of the signs of magazine on a 1911 is too old to be used is the tension is so bad with the springs that it either causes a double feeds or jams or failures to feed and it's all originating from the worn out spring. another advantage of using a revolver for home defense is it ready at the pull of the trigger without having to make any noise like racking a slide.

  • @GunsGearOnTargetTrainingLLC

    Mike, thanks so much for commenting and watching. The 357 magnum is a proven performer. My issue with it has to do with shooting it in the confines of a home or building. Most people are not going to shoot that particular revolver with a suppressor on it. And without a suppressor or your protection the blast and concussion to your ears is really problematic. The other issue I have is that most people don’t practice with a 357 round. They practice with 38 special and then think they are going to just perform exceptionally well with around which has more recoil, muzzle blast and concussion. Nevertheless, if the user is proficient with their revolver it is certainly an excellent choice as long as they thought about their ears and how loud that round is in an enclosed area. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I hope you will subscribe to the channel.

    I just came across this video, very well done. I have been a Firearms Instructor for over 40 years (USMC - LE - Civilian) and I have often recommended a Revolver to those who wish to have a handgun for home protection / carry but do not want to or have the time to spend a lot of time at the range. They can easily be trained in the safe use of a revolver and not be concerned with "Stove Pipes, Double Feeds, Re-Racking and Magazine Issues". While I do encourage them to shoot as often as possible I also understand their need for protection and simplicity of operation. That being said, I carried a .357 S&W Model 66 Revolver for the first few years of my LE career. I never felt outgunned. To this day my wife has refused my annual gift of a Semi-Auto Handgun (Oh Well) and insists on keeping her S&W Snubnose .38 as her defense gun. But, I will keep buying her a new semi-auto every year just in case she changes her mind!

As a LEO I carried a revolver from 1978 until the mid 1990’s when I was my first issued auto G 23. I came out on top in a gunfight in 1980. Today my arsenal consists of two semi automatic pistols. One a Kimber 1911 and a G36. My next purchases will probably be a G19 or 17. My point is that a revolver served me well for many years. I used speed loaders in those days and under great stress I had a fast reload.

    I started law enforcement with a Model 19 6” Smith Wesson and never felt under gunned. One round of .357 Magnum solved most problems. The Remington Model 870 12 gauge was in the car, and since I was the “counter sniper” the SSG Steyer bolt action .308 Win was in the trunk with 5 round detachable magazines. There was a time when semi automatic firearms were not trusted by law enforcement, sans the 1911 .45 ACP. But the 1911 .45 ACP’s were loaded with 230 grain FMJ rounds, only. I transitioned to the H.K. P9S and than when the bolt began to crack because the department issued lead qualification rounds (which is very bad for polygonal barrels) I switched to the S.W. 657. Qualification targets were less accurate than with revolver use. If I could own only three weapons that were non semi automatic, I’d revert back to my roots. There is no doubt shooting incidents in law enforcement cases now have far more rounds fired. Is this bad or good, depends entirely on the individual case. Sometimes you need to adapt to your adversaries weapons and tactics.

    In my profession, we have the notion of a "risk score". That is, the probability that something will happen, times the severity of the actual event occuring. I believe that anyone that makes the calculation that they stand a fair chance of needing a gun for home defense, ought to be taking additional measures to mitigate their risks: practice, physical fitness, and safety discipline for non-intruders that also have a reason to be present in your home. Most people in my community that have guns at home simply enjoy having and firing guns, but feel that they need "home defense" as a justification to own them. I don't think that justification is needed; just follow the points posted at the beginning of the video.

    "Best" will always depend on the circumstances under which it will be used, your level of training, and what you are comfortable with. I like both semi-automatics and revolvers, and have shot revolvers extensively in PPC matches which require reloading. That being said, my bedside gun is a semi-automatic with a guide rod laser sight. For me, under nighttime circumstances, and with my night vision not being what it used to be, that is best gun for me bedside. My downstairs daytime choice and carry is a revolver, largely due my training on that platform and the selection of power levels available. When someone says "best", I have to ask "best for what?"

And she knows that it CANNOT go BANG! unless the trigger is pulled. No slides, no safeties, no magazines. Just a reliable and effective defense tool.

    High capacity magazines gave the tendency to waste ammo in "spray and pray" and hitting nothing. Most revolvers are easier to aim than semi autos at over 25 yards. Aim well and hit true and have one reload available that probably will not be needed. My first guns were (decades ago) a SW Model 19 and a Colt 1911A1. So I shoot both types and feel perfectly comfortable with a revolver but it a weapon for the really committed to training and marksmanship.

    Thanks for commenting. I agree marksmanship skills are critical. I do take issue with your statement that revolvers are easier to aim at targets +25 yards. I can consistently ring steel at 50 yards with semi-auto pistols. That being said, most armed encounters occur at 7 yards or less. Therefore, I believe that training, practice,and proficiency are the most important factors for anyone who plans to use a firearm for personal protection.

I love how this gun shoots and handles the 357 mag rounds just fine. It has a 3" barrel that I forgot to mention. Most of my range time is with the 38 special but still practice with the 357 mag load.

No. It means a robber breaks into your house when he thought you weren't home, or a rapist, or something like that. You're not going to be laying down suppression fire. 6 shots is more than enough for home defense.

    Great video. Don't forget that you can load a revolver with several types of ammo in the same cylinder, such as alternating LRN and JHP, if penetrating a wall or door is an issue; snake rounds and JHP might be useful in the boonies. An auto might jam with these different rounds, but your revolver will keep chugging along. --Old Guy

    I think that especially for home defense, a revolver is a very good choice. You can store it in a loaded condition, and it's easy to use (think about getting woken up in the middle of the night) and reliable. Also, .357 Mag is a great caliber, and you can shoot .38 Spec out of the same gun.
