Frequently Asked Questions

What specific firearm is missing from the current gun market according to The Yankee Marshal?

The Yankee Marshal believes a compact, lightweight revolver chambered in 10mm Auto is missing. This firearm would serve as an ideal backup to 10mm semi-automatic pistols, filling a niche not currently covered by existing models.

Why is a 10mm backup revolver important for concealed carry?

For individuals carrying a 10mm semi-automatic as their primary firearm, a 10mm backup revolver ensures ammunition commonality. This simplifies logistics and allows for consistent performance, especially when considering 10mm as a potent carry caliber.

What are the challenges in producing a compact 10mm revolver?

The primary challenge is fitting five or six 10mm rounds into a small revolver cylinder, like a J-frame. The 10mm cartridge is wider than some other common revolver calibers, requiring careful design to ensure reliability and manage recoil.

What size and capacity should a new 10mm backup revolver be?

The ideal size would be similar to a J-frame or Kimber K6S. A five-round capacity in a J-frame size is acceptable, or potentially five rounds in a slightly larger frame like a Colt Cobra or Kimber K6S, to accommodate the 10mm cartridge.
