B BB Moderator Jun 17, 2000 #21 Youre right! Revolvers DO hit harder than semiautos! I threw my S&W 629 at the wall and it left a MUCH bigger mark than my Glock 21 did!

A 4" barreled auto is more like 3" because its measured from the breech face. Neither type loses a significant amount of velocity from the cylinder gap or the slide push. Its all barrel length. ------------------ Keith The Bears and Bear Maulings Page: members.xoom.com/keithrogan
