Frequently Asked Questions

Why are revolvers gaining popularity for concealed carry?

Revolvers are seeing a resurgence for concealed carry due to their legal portability across different jurisdictions, avoiding magazine capacity restrictions. Manufacturers are also introducing new models, contributing to renewed interest.

What are the key considerations for choosing a revolver for concealed carry?

When choosing a revolver for concealed carry, factors like model (e.g., Smith & Wesson 686, Ruger LCR), holster type (leather vs. Kydex), and legal considerations in your area are important. The ease of carrying and legal compliance are often primary drivers.

What is microstamping and why is it controversial?

Microstamping requires semi-automatic handguns to permanently mark shell casings. It's controversial because proponents argue it's technologically impossible to implement reliably and serves as a barrier to firearm sales, particularly in states like California.

What are recommended calibers for bear defense?

For bear defense, calibers like .357 Magnum, 10mm, and .44 Magnum are generally recommended. It's crucial to use ammunition designed for hunting or hard-cast lead bullets to ensure deep penetration through the animal's mass and bone.
