Revolvers For Defense???

With the seemingly unlimited variety of semi auto pistols on the market today, many have forgotten the good ol' wheelgun. Simple, reliable, and effective, quality revolvers still represent a good choice for CCW, and home defense.

I'm thinking of getting a taurus judge for home defense, are there speed loaders for those .410 shotgun shells somewhere online or in gun shops.

@mossbergman12 I'm not sure, but the judge is very popular, so they should make something.

Should we always buy American made revolver like S&W, Ruger, or Colt and skip the foreign imports like Taurus, Rossi, etc. ?

@Search4diabetescure I've had great luck with Colt, S&W and Ruger, but not so much with Taurus. I've never owned a Rossi

My CCW instructor was a snooze, but he did say one thing that resonates deeply.  "Their is no such thing as a missed shot. That bullet's going to hit something." Amen to that. If you have a 30 round Glock or a 17 rounds S&W like my M&P, your going to be more prepared to shoot faster. IF you miss one or 10 rounds, their going to keep going down range to who knows what? Maybe the ground, maybe a car door, maybe a baby carriage! So just practice with what ever your piece is and learn control.

@vulpixgrant That was a great line from your instructor! I agree that capacity is not near as important as instruction and practice. Thanks

@joe50189 LOL The internet is great, but you should come out of your mommy's basement every now and then. Revolvers are very accurate! I hate to be the one that tells you this, but a class IIIA vest claims balistic protection, for handgun rounds, up to 44 magnum (a revolver round) The 460 has the ballistics similar to lighter 44 magnum loads. If you going to act like a know it all, then do your homework

@serialkil3 As the old saying goes: Six for sure!

@bmwnasher - Must be another European country I am thinking of. Wow that sucks, but a single shot shot gun is a very good home defense weapon if you know how to use it. Their was a video on You Tube but I can't find it, where they had a shell "Sock" on the butt of the gun and the guy was getting a shot off every 4 to 5 seconds. Get the license and own what you can legally, it's the best any law abiding citizen should do. :)

@vulpixgrant As far a im am aware you can`t get a firearm certificate for any handgun in the UK. Even high power Air rifles need a firearm cetificate. Game keepers rifles are only 3 shot . Shotguns are allowed with a licence but not auto or pump. We have the most strict gun laws in the world.

@bmwnasher I thought the U.K. allowed non military caliber weapons to be owned by the people? .380 being the largest auto you could legally own since the 9mm is the NATO standard?

@joe50189 I have several revolvers and automatics. The Auto's have jammed on me but the revolvers have never failed to fire. BUT, I have a M&P full size S&W 9mm 4 inch barrel that's not as accurate at my Taurus Model 85 stubby revolver! My 2 oldest guns, my 2 favorite guns, but the .38 is more accurate withing 7 yards ( Legal Defensive Range for shooting an attacker in Florida. ) The M&P is no slouch though. My daily carry is a .380 Taurus, so I do love my auto's.
