I am going to begin a multi-part series about the positives of using revolvers for self-preservation in the EveryDay Carry role. 

To start with, it WILL NOT be how revolvers are better than semi-autos! Firearms for Self-defense is not a zero-sum game. Just because I will point out areas and features that revolvers have that make them eminently useful for EDC, does not mean that semi-autos suck. Hopefully, the readers of my blog have a higher level of critical thinking than is exhibited by too many in the gun community and everyone will understand that I am just pointing out some unique things that may be nice for some people’s contexts. It does not mean at any time that I am saying everyone must slavishly copy me and carry like I do. Make informed and thoughtful choices and see what works best for you in your life. All I am doing is giving more information that many people have never heard of that may be helpful. This series in no way will ever say that revolvers trump semi-autos. Unlike far too many “YouTube Influencers”, I am more mature than that. 

Secondly, it won’t be all at once. If other things come up that I want to write or make videos about – such as my attempt to make every Wednesday book recommendation day. Once they are all done, I will collect them all together and make it easy to review down the road, but please bear with me as I go. There is a lot of nuance to cover and it does not lend itself to quick bites. 

Third, there are two separate roles for revolvers, and this needs to be understood before we get rolling. There is the standard EDC carry where any duty size gun can be used, and then there is the deeper carry where concealment must be maximized. This is the place where the snub revolver fits in. So let’s remember to keep the two areas apart in our heads as you read the series. 

I am hoping I can get the first part out on Friday. I hope you all tune in.
