[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1059140, member: 30902"] Carrying one "in the pipe" in a quality modern Semi Auto isn't risky at all especially if you have it in a holster that completely covers the trigger and trigger guard. Liability lawyers pretty well eliminated that problem many moons ago. If I had to worry about such things I wouldn't even own any Semi Autos. You are absolutely correct though in that revolvers are extremely reliable BUT, only if you keep the weapon free of mud and debris. All it takes is a couple of pine needles or a little mud to jam the cylinder preventing you from being able to cock and fire it. If you ever find yourself in a grapple with a bad guy who has a revolver all you have to do is grasp the weapon tightly around the frame and cylinder to render it useless if it's not already cocked or place the web of your hand between the hammer and frame if it is. In either condition it cannot be fired. It may hurt like hell if he tries to fire it but that's a small price to pay compared to being shot. [/QUOTE]
