Pond,
So you know one, but not personally. From that flimsy hearsay, you've extrapolated an untenable position.
Citing only one does not mean I know of only one.
And what, pray tell, do you interpret my "untenable position" to be?
Just look back at what I've said on this issue and in which context (i.e. your own comments).
I have stated no position. I have merely refuted yours.
1 out of maybe hundreds of thousands cops. And you're hustling that as proof of a mysterious six-gun dragon slayer?
Hustling? I don't think answering your very own question is hustling.
You ask if I know any and I gave you a name. And the
dragon-slayer hyperbole.... really?
I don't care what people carry. Self-defense is a personal issue. What's right for one might be all wrong for another. But hand gunners will lose credibility when they try to hustle BS about revolvers being as good as semiautos.
You claim no personal position on this but your very own opening volley on this topic of "Who the hell carries....?" screams personal involvement.
Note I've not said that revolvers are better than semis. Nor has anyone else in this thread that I can think of.
Hand gunners lose credibility when they put words in the posts of others to support their arguments.
BTW, I've had two revolvers fail, and I know of other cops who have had catastrophic revolver failures. My P-229 has never failed to fire, and I've put thousands of rounds through it.
So, wait a second... You extole the virtues of not relying on a sample size of one to prove a point (even though that wasn't what I was doing), but you'll happily rely on a sample size of two to prove yours...
I know of not one single law enforcement agency that allows its cops to carry revolvers.
There are LEO in Spain who carry them as it happens. Seen them myself. But gun choice in LE is largely about cost, rather than purely about efficiency. A new K-frame is probably much more expensive than the standard issue GlockXX. Your initial point was also about self-defence, not dept issue.
Pond, don't fall into the logical fallacy of trying to disprove a rule by citing a very rare exception.
Point 1:
There is no rule here. There is your personal opinion. And mine. And that of others
Point 2:
You make out that only LEOs are in a position to make sound judgment on gun choice. Yet many have far less experience of gun ownership, marksmanship maintenance etc than a good few of forum the people on this and others like it.
Point 3:
I merely provided what you'd asked for. A single name. But if that is not enough for you, just look at the revolver forum to see how many own and carry wheel-guns.
Are you now trying to say that, because they are not LEOs they therefore have worthless opinions on the merits of one gun over another?!
Point 4:
Look at the revolver market and how many are still being made, launched and sold. People still buy them. By their 100s of 1000s. As all those buyers ignorant? Are all those who buy semis knowledgeable?
I think you should take your own advice.
I also don't think you should make personal judgements about people purely because they don't share you choices and preferences.
