I am sad for those who have to choose one or the other. Me, I can clean a plate rack faster with a semi-auto than a revolver but maybe others shoot DA revolvers better than I. I don't own and probably would not put out the money for a semi-auto that can outrange my Dan Wesson 357 Mag. I guess there are .22 lr revolvers that shoot better than my Ruger MKII hunter but again not for the money and they won't hold 10 rounds. I think you can carry more firepower concealed with a semi-auto and for true combat the semi-auto is the choice of all the major militaries. For fun revolvers are the best.
