Duration: 44:06

Tiger McKee, a renowned firearms instructor, discusses the advantages of revolvers for self-defense, particularly in close-quarters scenarios. He highlights their reliability during physical altercations, ease of one-handed operation, and simpler malfunction clearance compared to semi-automatics. The discussion also touches on effective ammunition for revolvers, the benefits of commonality in ammunition across different firearms, and practical training concepts like team tactics for couples and family emergency planning.

Quick Summary

Revolvers are highly effective for self-defense, especially in close-quarters combat, as they avoid going out of battery when pressed against an assailant's body. They also offer simpler malfunction clearance by simply pulling the trigger again, and can be fired one-handed more reliably than semi-automatic pistols during physical altercations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are revolvers considered good for self-defense in close quarters?

Revolvers are advantageous in close quarters because they won't go out of battery when pressed against an attacker's body, unlike semi-automatic pistols. This ensures continued firing capability even during a physical struggle.

How do revolvers handle malfunctions compared to semi-automatic pistols?

Revolvers offer simpler malfunction clearance; often, pulling the trigger again brings a fresh round under the hammer. This is generally easier to manage under duress than clearing jams on a semi-automatic pistol.

What are the benefits of ammunition commonality with revolvers?

Carrying revolvers in common calibers like .38/.357 Magnum allows for ammunition commonality with lever-action rifles. This simplifies logistics, training, and ensures you have compatible ammunition for multiple firearms.

What is the 'New York Reload' technique?

The 'New York Reload' refers to using a secondary firearm as a backup when the primary firearm is empty. This strategy addresses capacity concerns by having an immediate alternative ready.
