This video demonstrates a critical advantage of revolvers in self-defense: their ability to reliably fire during "contact shots" where the muzzle is pressed against an attacker. Unlike semi-automatic pistols, which can malfunction by going "out of battery" in such scenarios, revolvers maintain their firing capability due to their fixed barrel and cylinder design. The presenter, an EDC enthusiast, highlights that given most self-defense encounters occur at very close range, this reliability factor makes revolvers a superior carry option for many.
