My feelings exactly.Just looking at the various threads with questions about semi auto malfunfctions for various reasons. What grease/oil to use? Cold or hot weather? Malfunctions, mafunctions, malfunctions. Why carry anything but a revolver?
On top of that you can feed it pretty much any brand of ammo out there, unlike some finicky semi-autos.I picked up my LCR 357 as my first carry choice because as a new shooter I wanted something simple that would function in difficult conditions. I am in the backcountry a great deal and I like the choice of a revolver because I know when I pull the trigger, it fires. I also liked the versatilty of ammo choice as well. .38.... .38+p... or 357 magnum.
True dat.....On top of that you can feed it pretty much any brand of ammo out there, unlike some finicky semi-autos.
The first time may be the last time and more than you mind may be closed.But the first time this thing starts FTF, FTE, etc. in an unnacceptable manner, it's going bye-bye, and my mind will then be closed to semi-autos as far as CCW is concer.
if you need to ask that question--then carry a revolver.Why carry anything but a revolver?

What FTF or FTE is acceptable ?the first time this thing starts FTF, FTE, etc. in an unnacceptable manner,
Most of the problems with semi-autos are with 22's. I have a few and have occasional problems with them but NEVER with my 9mm semi. Hot or cold it shoots everytime.Just looking at the various threads with questions about semi auto malfunfctions for various reasons. What grease/oil to use? Cold or hot weather?

How true! My mind could also be splattered all over the ground!The first time may be the last time and more than you mind may be closed.
I feel that some FTF's & FTE's may be acceptable during the initial break in period on a new weapon and with testing different brands of ammo. Not all ammo types may work well with a particular semi-auto.What FTF or FTE is acceptable ?
Sometimes my answers are short and to the point, I mean no disrespect.
I have an LCR .38. I stopped carrying it because it would cycle with the cylinder open. Ruger fixed it, but I'm less than confident in it.Why carry anything but a revolver?
I agree with that as long as its a 9mm or bigger. That is not to say I've never carried a 22 or 380 for self defense but I have had problems sometimes just plinking with them.Quality ammunition in a quality semi-auto and you'll be fine.
Can you explain to me what this is?I have an LCR .38. I stopped carrying it because it would cycle with the cylinder open.
Maybe so, but there does seem to be an alarming amount of complaints concerning issues with semi-autos on gun forums, and almost none for revolvers.I have never had any type of malfunction with any of them through thousands of rounds, in a variety of weather.

Some people claim they had no problems with the LCP. Can you tell me how many problems you had and with what types of ammo?The LCP has had feeding issues and I dont trust it, plus its difficult to shoot.
Open the cylinder on a revolver, then pull the trigger.Can you explain to me what this is?
Yep, the modern day equivalent of the backyard fence.complaints concerning issues with semi-autos on gun forums
Well for one, it absolutely hated TulAmmo. My LCP was a single shot with that crap. I gave that box away to a friend who has a Sig 238 and he fired it without issue. I also has issues with Federal FMJ, not nearly as many, maybe a couple Fail to Feeds with each box of 50. I shot 4 boxes of the Federals. It shot well with Federal Hydra Shok and Hornady Critical Defense, but I was disappointed in the way it recoiled and havent really given it a chance to prove itself. 380 ammo is expensive and I really dont want to shoot hundreds of more rounds thru the LCPs to build my confidence in them. I have shot cheap FMJ Factory ammo, expensive Self Defense ammo, and reloads thru my LC9 and it just keeps firing and asking for more. I see way more complaints about the LC9s than the LCPs, but that hasnt been my experience.Some people claim they had no problems with the LCP. Can you tell me how many problems you had and with what types of ammo?
Don't use forum activity as a way to estimate the extent of a problem without a big dose of salt. One person with an issue or grudge can make a lot of posts. Can be very misleading.Maybe so, but there does seem to be an alarming amount of complaints concerning issues with semi-autos on gun forums, and almost none for revolvers.
