...they will digest any bullet shape, and shoot any power level ammunition, as long as there's enough powder to drive the bullet out of the barrel and not so much as to shake the gun apart.
...they can cycle upside down, limp-wristed, and weak-handed.
...they will fire repeatedly from a coat pocket or jammed into an attacker, without hanging up or going out of battery.
...they can be instantly verified as loaded or unloaded just by glancing at the cylinder.
...they can be instantly made safe and rendered inert just by swinging out the cylinder.
...they are easy to teach to new shooters.
...they don't have magazines to lose, break, or wear out.
...they don't shower your range stall neighbor with brass, or deposit it between your eyes or in your collar.
...they let you collect the brass neatly and without bending down.
...they can be had cheaply in the age of tacticality.
...they can be left loaded for decades without any springs to wear out.
...they encourage marksmanship and deliberate shooting.
...they don't attract the spray-and-pray crowd shotgunning their targets with the latest tactical extreme hardware.
...they show the bad guy what's lined up to pass through his anatomy if he does not see the error of his ways.
...they can be had in much more powerful calibers than you can get in a bottom feeder.
...they don't require any function tests with defensive ammo (the first box of rounds out of a bottom feeder is for function, the first box out of a wheelgun is for grouping).
...they have more adaptable grips that can be changed to suit just about anyone's hand.
...they inspire confidence. (How many semiauto shooters carry a wheelgun as a backup piece, versus wheelgunners who carry a semi for backup?)
Feel free to continue the list...
