I'm trying to decide on a CCH type. I see lots of slide guns that look good but I am concerned with the reliability issue when it is important. A revolver looks simple, straightforward, and easy to operate. Reliability seem to be much higher than that of a slide gun.
I was in my local gunstore fingering for the first time revolvers and came in contact with Taurus's new CIA series. For now its availabe in .38 +P and .357 mag both with a 2-1/4" ported snoot, concealed hammer. Profile is thin, weight is comparable to slide guns, 5 shots. My only complaint is it is a 3 finger hold, not the four I deemed necessary.
What are your thoughts. Is a .357 mag a bit much in a short snout? It would be used only for CCH but I will practice and reload for that practice.
Opinions are welcome. This is a major shift for me since I am one of those slide gun bigots.
