Re: Are Revolvers still relevant?

After watching our local police do their annual handgun training with Glocks.
I have seen ground hits within 1M of their feet all along the 25m range up through the target through the bay number on top of the frame into the top of the Butt and off into the never never. And i haven't mentioned the ADs.
At least in the days of the revolvers they didn't fire so many unaimed shots or have ADs.
That comes back to their trainers/instructors. Does not matter the Police Force you have good, bad and indifferent instructors. The good ones work with the bad shots to bring them up to speed, if time permits. I know in the AFP if you fail your qualification shoot there is no reshoot. Firearm is removed from you and back to basics until you can qualify. However 25 to 30 years ago I agree with your observations.
Yes speed loader can be as quick as a mag change but as I said to do that without looking under stress require lots of practice. With a S&W Model 10 I was damn near as quick as I am with a Glock/Browning Hi power mag change.
It, for most people, is harder to hit near point of aim at 25+meters with a semi than a revolver, at least that is my observation.
Like John I would prefer a semi auto for protection from 2 legged types and a revolver for 4 legged types.
