The never ending debate of revolvers vs. semi automatic handguns has always been one of the favorite discussions in the conceal carry community. One is more reliable but doesn't' hold as many bullets, other can hold nearly 20 but are prone to jamming. All good points... Lets take a look

1. Semi-Automatic vs Revolver

2. Semi-Automatics

3. Pros

holsters both semi and revolvers suit
themselves for concealed carry
