Many US Soldiers STILL Carry A Revolver! Here's Why & WHAT They Carry!
This video details specific instances where US military personnel still carry revolvers, despite the prevalence of modern semi-automatic pistols. It highlights Marines on embassy duty using the Smith & Wesson Model 19 in .357 Magnum for perceived diplomatic reassurance, Air Force personnel in Alaska opting for .44 Magnum revolvers like the Model 29 or Ruger Redhawk for bear defense, and EOD technicians utilizing the S&W 686 in .357 Magnum for specialized disabling rounds.
