Well, the Left finally convinced me. I am buying 2 guns! One for my wife, one for me.

[HereWeGoAgain]

As far as pistols, double action revolver with hammer on empty chamber. 5 shots if it's a decent caliber. You have to make them count. Luckily this gun I have is a shooter! You have to aim low, but I was knocking a golf ball around with it.
Hit it like 7x until it rolled over a berm out of sight. That's just a pistol, I'd do much better with my .22s and Mauser that I've had forever.

Hammer on an empty chamber is a myth except in much older revolvers. Every modern revolver has a transfer bar safety system that prevents the hammer from striking the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled - even if you beat the hammer with a hammer. If you use a revolver for personal defense, you need every round you have - all 8 in the case of some of mine, all 5 in some others.

Marion is a bit skittish when it comes to keeping one in the chamber.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

This isn't a "modern revolver" An actual firing pin on the hammer strikes the primer.
I can buy time to get me to the next gun with it. Largely if you put 2 down, the rest will flee.

But you weren't talking about your gun when you mentioned an empty chamber; you were advising a new gun owner to keep only 5 rounds in a 6-shot revolver. It may not be exactly bad advice but it's useless from a safety perspective and takes away a round that that might be needed.

I want the OP to watch the video I posted and read about transfer bar safeties and make a choice from knowledge and not from ignorance or even my advice.

I run into a lot of self-proclaimed (not saying that's you) experts who say something like, "Yes, I know about transfer bars but I still keep the chamber under the hammer empty for safety purposes." That is a statement that absolutely proves they don't know anything about how a modern revolver works. It is absolutely, without a doubt, not helpful to keep an empty chamber under the pin of modern revolver.

Same goes for modern semi autos.
It wont go off unless you pull the trigger.

Odds are you will shoot yourselves before you shoot looters or a burglar.

So you're telling us you shouldnt be trusted with a nail gun?

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

My friends; with the Left rioting, looting, and trying to get rid of the police, even my wife who has been anti-gun since we have been married, has now agreed that we should purchase firearms. We live in a very nice sub-division, and my wife spoke to our local police chief about this last week. He also suggested that we purchase firearms, as we must protect ourselves if they can not get here on time should something happen in the current conditions. He also gave her a card for some group that if you join, they will give free legal protection, should you have to protect yourself, or your property, and use your firearm in the process. I told my wife, we will buy 3 of them. 2 pistols, and a semi automatic rifle of some sort.

Thank you Leftists, you have just propped up the gun lobby for years to come. I could never have seen my wife agreeing to have firearms in our home, but your idiocy has convinced her, not to mention that most of our neighbors told her they too had firearms.

I am going to have to take a class, as is my wife, to learn the ins and outs of when we can use them. But let me tell you all------------>when it is legal to open fire on these thugs, I WILL!

Then you will need only two bullets. One for each gun when you find out that you won't get your way and take the only solution left to you.

WTF does that even mean?

I hope you don't regret your decision. Data show that people use guns for self-defense only rarely. According to a Harvard University analysis of figures from the National Crime Victimization Survey, people defended themselves with a gun in only 0.9 percent of crimes from 2007 to 2011 The risks of owning a gun outweigh the benefits of having one in only rare case where you might need to defend yourself. The average person has basically no chance in their lifetime of ever using a gun in self-defense. There is a far greater possibility of the gun being stolen and used in a crime or a family member using the the gun against themselves or an innocent person.

Yet people will continue to buy guns, load them, put them in their closet only to find that years later a child or other family member kills themselves or others with it. That has happened in my family and I tell you, you will never get over it. It is not worth the risk.

I may regret the decision because of the money spent. I will NOT regret it for the piece of mind.

Who we gonna call if they defund the police? Ghostbusters? BLM? Antifah?

I paid for my home, and if they come to my door, they will blown back into the yard. They lift a incendiary device, they will have a rude awakening as long as it is legal, and if it is, I WILL SHOOT!

You people opened a can of worms, you really have. They protested in a city 10mls from my wife and I on Tuesday. At 9pm, the Taco Bell burned to the ground, and 2 other businesses were lit on fire. That is when my wife said, "ENOUGH!" I agree! If you don't get it, to bad, so sad. YOU did this! And if you ever think the American people are going to let you mess with the 2nd amendment now, you are only fooling yourselves.

And especially since you are inexperienced they will be much more dangerous to you than any rioters you might happen to come across.

Funny....I've never had any formal training and I've been shooting since I was eight.
That tells me you're dumber than an eight year old.

How nice for you.

 

[Asclepias]

All my guns are stored hammer back and loaded. You're a criminal loving liar.

Outside of the safe, single-action hammer guns (1911s for me) are condition 1, hammer back, thumb safety on. No racking slides to give bad guys an aiming spot and time to shoot. Striker or hammerless are stored ready to shoot.

In the safe, I don't keep one in the chamber. If I have to get a gun out of the safe it isn't an emergency or, even if it is, the whole operation is slow enough that the seconds to rack a slide doesn't matter.

Then again, I also have revolvers ready in and out of the safe. Nothing to do but point and shoot.

As far as pistols, double action revolver with hammer on empty chamber. 5 shots if it's a decent caliber. You have to make them count. Luckily this gun I have is a shooter! You have to aim low, but I was knocking a golf ball around with it.

I don't think John Wayne could shoot as good as me. Or some of my kinfolk.
Only certain guns are shooters. This pistol is a shooter. My Marlin Model 60 is a shooter. My cousin's 20-gauge is a shooter. That damn Dan Wesson .44 is NOT. Some guns are, and some guns ain't.
Dude, I used to pop primers on shotgun shells with my Marlin Model 60. It goes where you want it to. Next up is my .06..that's satisfactorily accurate. Lemme think..yeah next is the pistol..ech, pistols.
I wanna get 2 semi-auto 20 gauges for home defense. I think that's the best solution.
One in each hand.

20 gauge is excellent for home defense, but doubt I do the each hand bit.

Thinking about getting a 20. One of my daughters is really into shooting. Shes my back up if necessary and a 20 might just do the trick.

The Wife has always put up with my "be prepared" attitude when it comes to firearms and She's a supporter of the 2nd.
I was shocked when She asked me the other day.....are you sure you have enough ammo?

I just laughed and told Her there's no reason to worry on that account.

Dang, what program did you use to train her ( code for what it cost you )? My wife doesn't care that I buy ammo, but she NEVER says that!

It was a first for Her.
I think a lot of it has to do with my political accuracy in forecasting future events.
She poo poo'd me when I told Her immigration was going to be a problem back in the eighties...She now admits I was right. There are many other instances where I was proven right and I think She finally gets it.
My AR has been down for about a month now and it feels like an itch between my shoulder blades that I cant scratch. When I told Her it was inoperable She told me to get it right at whatever cost.
To me that was the green light to get the new Timney trigger.
She doesnt know I bought one for the .270 as well.
I figure a "but honey we have to be able to slow em down before they get close" will suffice in easing Her objections.

We live in a very nice sub-division, and my wife spoke to our local police chief about this last week. He also suggested that we purchase firearms, as we must protect ourselves if they can not get here on time should something happen in the current conditions. He also gave her a card for some group that if you join, they will give free legal protection, should you have to protect yourself, or your property, and use your firearm in the process. I told my wife, we will buy 3 of them. 2 pistols, and a semi automatic rifle of some sort.

Thank you Leftists, you have just propped up the gun lobby for years to come. I could never have seen my wife agreeing to have firearms in our home, but your idiocy has convinced her, not to mention that most of our neighbors told her they too had firearms.

I am going to have to take a class, as is my wife, to learn the ins and outs of when we can use them. But let me tell you all------------>when it is legal to open fire on these thugs, I WILL!

I hope you don't regret your decision. Data show that people use guns for self-defense only rarely. According to a Harvard University analysis of figures from the National Crime Victimization Survey, people defended themselves with a gun in only 0.9 percent of crimes from 2007 to 2011 The risks of owning a gun outweigh the benefits of having one in only rare case where you might need to defend yourself. The average person has basically no chance in their lifetime of ever using a gun in self-defense. There is a far greater possibility of the gun being stolen and used in a crime or a family member using the the gun against themselves or an innocent person.

Yet people will continue to buy guns, load them, put them in their closet only to find that years later a child or other family member kills themselves or others with it. That has happened in my family and I tell you, you will never get over it. It is not worth the risk.

I may regret the decision because of the money spent. I will NOT regret it for the piece of mind.

Who we gonna call if they defund the police? Ghostbusters? BLM? Antifah?

I paid for my home, and if they come to my door, they will blown back into the yard. They lift a incendiary device, they will have a rude awakening as long as it is legal, and if it is, I WILL SHOOT!

You people opened a can of worms, you really have. They protested in a city 10mls from my wife and I on Tuesday. At 9pm, the Taco Bell burned to the ground, and 2 other businesses were lit on fire. That is when my wife said, "ENOUGH!" I agree! If you don't get it, to bad, so sad. YOU did this! And if you ever think the American people are going to let you mess with the 2nd amendment now, you are only fooling yourselves.

Uff...
No one has suggested there be no police, dope.

Uhh, they have now!

Should police unions be abolished?

I think so. I have always supported unions - but not police unions. What do you think? Police unions have long occupied an uneasy place within the labor movement. Many otherwise fierce trade unionists believe they need to be curbed in the interest of public safety and social progress. That...

All my guns are stored hammer back and loaded. You're a criminal loving liar.

Outside of the safe, single-action hammer guns (1911s for me) are condition 1, hammer back, thumb safety on. No racking slides to give bad guys an aiming spot and time to shoot. Striker or hammerless are stored ready to shoot.

In the safe, I don't keep one in the chamber. If I have to get a gun out of the safe it isn't an emergency or, even if it is, the whole operation is slow enough that the seconds to rack a slide doesn't matter.

Then again, I also have revolvers ready in and out of the safe. Nothing to do but point and shoot.

As far as pistols, double action revolver with hammer on empty chamber. 5 shots if it's a decent caliber. You have to make them count. Luckily this gun I have is a shooter! You have to aim low, but I was knocking a golf ball around with it.
Hit it like 7x until it rolled over a berm out of sight.

All John Wayne and shit.

I don't think John Wayne could shoot as good as me. Or some of my kinfolk.
Only certain guns are shooters. This pistol is a shooter. My Marlin Model 60 is a shooter. My cousin's 20-gauge is a shooter. That damn Dan Wesson .44 is NOT. Some guns are, and some guns ain't.
Dude, I used to pop primers on shotgun shells with my Marlin Model 60. It goes where you want it to. Next up is my .06..that's satisfactorily accurate. Lemme think..yeah next is the pistol..ech, pistols.
I wanna get 2 semi-auto 20 gauges for home defense. I think that's the best solution.
One in each hand.

20 gauge is excellent for home defense, but doubt I do the each hand bit.

Thinking about getting a 20. One of my daughters is really into shooting. Shes my back up if necessary and a 20 might just do the trick.

Good choice. Train her right or make sure she is trained right.

Yeah. Shes talented. First time shooting a 9 she put 7 out 10 center mass on a target 15 yards out. Shes going to be better than me in a few years.

Kids pick up quick. I have shot with all my kids, daughter included.

Maybe thats it. I didnt pick up a gun until I was in the military. Took me awhile to get my breathing down.

I was ok, but the DIs really were good instructors fairly fresh from Viet Nam and helped a lot on the importance us remember the importance of the steady hold factors, in their typical friendly, calm, supportive Drill Sergeant manner or they put a boot up your butt back then.

My DI's were pretty good. 1 was this gung ho fucker that just got of airborne training so we got to hear about that all the time. For some reason I just couldnt keep my breathing under control until one of them told me to pretend like I was playing basketball. It worked.

Airborne? I heard you went to jump school but when it came time to jump you froze and told the sgt you couldn't do it. I heard the sage told you to jump or he would screw you good. Later back at the barracks they all asked you if you jumped and you said, a little at first.

You must be crazy. Aint no way you going to get me to jump out of a perfectly functioning plane.
