Hawg, Most readers don't realize that NOLA stands for New Orleans, Louisiana. I know because I lived there for 46 years. I worked in an area near the Industrial Canal. Pretty rough part of town.
I sleep fine with a SA revolver in the nightstand and feel very comfortable packing one most of the time, For some urban settings I usally pack a bottom feeder but I wouldn't freak out if I was packin the SAA.
I'm an IDPA shooter, and compete with !911's and occasionally my Glock. I carry a J-frame .38 most of the time and love revolvers in general. For the woods and as a Bar-B-Q gun, I know that I'm very well armed with my Vaquero in .45 Colt, the old SA revolvers will do the job! If you like 'em and can use 'em why not tote 'em!
