POWER TRUMPS CAPACITY

Hi-capacity 9mm pistols are popular right now, but they pale in power compared to what a revolver is capable of chambering.

In my heart, I'm a revolver guy. In a recent conversation with some industry friends, we began talking about my affinity and their opinions regarding wheelguns. They made an effort to gently let me know that they were dissatisfied with i my previous inclusion of revolvers in my content, to the point where people may in fact be influenced to make a poor choice in a self-defense gun. Oddly enough, revolvers are, in their mind, not something I should be promoting due to the nature of violence in today's world. The only tip or trick was to simply ditch revolvers in general, my advice on the topic being only to pander to rustics set in the past.

One stated if it weren't for nostalgia, there'd be simply no reason to make them at all in the modern-day, comparing them to vintage dial phones and horse-drawn carriages. Replicas and the like are just toys with no real-world use; any opinion to the contrary is just wishful thinking.

“Josh, you're never going to be an Elmer Keith, and you should realize that by the time he wrote his works he was also behind the times.” One stated, “You're telling people it's alright to start at a severe disadvantage and make the best of it. It's not right”

Ethical concerns are something that we often face as writers; people listen to us, and you very well may spend hard-earned money after reading an article. Honesty is something that we in this job must have because, at the end of that line of thinking is a life potentially being taken, be it a bad guy or a game animal. The standard with which many writers opt to work with is often “just don't make the advertisers mad" and simply review a gun or ammo in the context of data only.
