I prefer a good S&W revolver for self defense over a semi automatic pistol. Of course I do use pistols at the target range.

If I ever have to use a handgun for real life self defense I want one that is simple and reliable. Revolvers don't have a safety to forget in an emergency. If for some reason when you pull the trigger you don't hear a loud noise, you just pull it again rather than go through to tap, rack, bang drill as with a pistol.

So therefore since I value simplicity and reliability, I doubt if I will ever buy a firearm that requires a battery to function. What a stupid idea.

We could have an EMP attack and lose power for a year or two and my firearms would still work just fine.
