What should be my first revolver?

[Exley]

Any of those will work. But the Trr8 is pricey. Maybe see if you like revolvers first, before emptying your wallet.

no logic here!

you'll have to split the 5th round in half for the last guy

I believe the OG combat revolver training was two volleies of two, then retreat to hard cover for a reload, with one or two rounds to cover your fallback.

Yeah ok John Wick lol - until you go up against three hood dudes with a 33 round extended mags lol. But hey let yourself be outgunned

In that situation, bend over and kiss your arse good buy. Three ten round magazines will do no good!! If you live in Chicago or New York, then that's different. Any other city. Nah. One on one. I'll take someone out with a revolver. They can have a 60 round magazine. No problem!!

Yeah I think we learned that one in Red Dead Redemption 2

EDIT: Well after reading it, it has combat revolver qualifications, but the combat reloads are very much pistol centric.

I handle a lot of gun cases. Noncompliant mags are a large minority, based on my sample size. One thing I noticed is guns taken off the streets are usually loaded with a variety pack of ammo in the same magazine with less than full capacity a surprising amount of the time.

Very interesting on the ammo type and loading.

I've been told that it's best to have only one type of ammo, as I used to load heavier/+p rounds later in the mag in case it took more than a couple for the threat. But I was told that could reflect poorly in a self defense case.

TLDR; what’s is say?

It's almost non factor in real life

Here you go.

Basically: Reload before you are empty so you don't have an empty gun. Grip the magazine firmly. Insert it correctly. Practice often. Also, place empty magazines in pocket, not in magazine pouch with full magazines.

It’s not a tactic. It’s because a prohibited person can’t buy ammo and it’s incredibly expensive on the black market.

Oh yeah, I got that part. Ghost guns with switches are not running Hornady Critical Duty, that's for sure.
I just meant that by mixing rounds, it might lump me in with such undesirable company from an investigative perspective

You’re really on one tonight. Hopefully my clowning 9mm as a lady round didn't hit too close to home

And I didn’t even make my stock dad joke about autoloader guys exaggerating their barrel length

You are correct. Only a clown would assume that you will ever be in a situation that warrants more than six rounds.
