TheYankeeMarshal, an experienced firearms commentator, explains his shift away from carrying revolvers for concealed carry. He posits that high-caliber snub-nose revolvers are a 'younger man's gun' due to the significant physical toll their recoil takes, especially on aging shooters with past injuries or conditions like arthritis. He now prefers 9mm or .45 ACP semi-automatics for their lower recoil, reduced noise, and overall comfort, making them more sustainable for regular practice and carry.
