I really need to build out my centerfire revolver collection more.

And if I had to guess, based upon your tastes, it'd be a pencil barrelled K frame at that  .

In that case, as a pal and fellow Yankee fan...don't ever imply that I'm ever a revolver apologist ever again, never ever ever!!!

*feels cheap & dirty now, like a $20 hooker on the $50 side of town*

To my defense, in addition to posting the Yankee vid, you also posted a JY vid and we both know his opinion on anything that isn't.... A Glock  .

I'm not an addict!  I can quit any time I want !

Who would want to quit?

And don't forget, if you ever use that firearm in a shooting, it will go live in an evidence locker for years...so you'll want two or more firearms for every caliber.

To make it even more economical, buy several firearms that can use the same accessories.  And be sure to have extra accessories in case any are also seized by police after an incident.

Plus, if you follow prepper websites, they do recommend having additional firearms for the more popular calibers stored off-site in bug out retreats in the event of martial law, or Terminators, or zombies.

And it really wouldn't hurt to have alternate firearms for your favorite calibers set up with silver bullets for werewolves.  Even larger calibers in the event of rabies-infested giraffes or Richard Simmons customers...

A larger magazine is not a substitute for practice.  If someone is coming at you with intent to do harm, you not only have limited ammunition, you have limited time.  In many, if not most cases, you will run out of time before you run out of ammunition.  I understand having limited time and limited funds; I understand it good and well, believe me.  But if you're not confident with a revolver because you don't shoot enough, bluntly, you shouldn't feel too confident with a semiauto, either.  In this situation, the gun is not the problem.  Fumbling a draw or missing the critical first shots will get you in trouble no matter how big your magazine is.
 

Yes, and every day.

No.  The advantages of a semiauto over a revolver do not change the fact that it's still just a handgun, with all of the limitations that brings.  Don't let the big magazine give you false confidence.

If you get attacked by half a dozen armed thugs, you can still only shoot in one direction at once.  A lone guy with a belt-fed is similarly out-gunned by a squad with bolt action rifles.  There are scenarios in which you, by yourself, with a handgun, are not likely to prevail.  Changing the handgun from one kind to another is, in my opinion, not likely to change that dynamic by any appreciable degree.

Bear in mind this is just me.  There are plenty, plenty of people out there, experienced instructors and self-styled "gunfighters", who will tell you that carrying a revolver is just dumb.  So take my opinion for what it's worth; I haven't spent a lot of time "on the street", and there are people who have who will vehemently disagree with me.

Me, personally?  I can't imagine a lot of realistic situations in which I feel I'd be killed with my SP101, but would prevail with, say, a Glock 19.  I'd have carried my GP100 in Afghanistan if I could have gotten away with it.

For what it's worth, just like with everything else, from the amount of insurance you carry to your driving habits, it depends on what you're comfortable with, how you "feel".  Most people feel they're being safe until they screw up and get hurt.  Most people feel they're driving safely until they plow into another car.  Most shooters carry however much gun they imagine will carry them through whatever scenarios they think they might encounter.

The trick, of course, is that you actually have no idea what kind of scenario you might encounter.
