I do not think revolvers will ever go away. The person who taught me about handguns and how to shoot them, started me out on a 22lr revolver. Once I mastered it without picking up any bad habits, he moved me up to a S&W model 19 (38, then 38 +P, and then 357). I was very fortunate to start out this way. In my humble opinion, revolvers teach you to be far more accurate because they have far less bullets. So when you move up to a higher capacity semi-auto, the value of being accurate tends to stick with you. Now that I have taught some people to shoot, I too have found that it is far easier for some people to drop a round in a cylinder than it is to load a magazine. As for the 38 special round, I believe it will be with us for a long time. I have also found the colts to be fantastic revolvers (old and new) and the pinned and recessed S&W revolvers to be the same. Last, but not least, nice Colt’s KahrMan. A very nice find indeed.
