[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 2045634, member: 4191"] Yup, yup, and yup. When I'm camped in bear territory, which is any time I'm camped anywhere I travel to in Alaska, I can't always baby my firearms. Sometimes I can barely stay warm, let alone dry. As stated earlier, if bears carried AR's, I 'd carry equivalent firepower, and hope my semi-auto performed. For the same reasons, the military and law enforcement now commonly carry semi-autos. Before semi-autos became common in use, law enforcement competed just fine with 6-shot revolvers. Concluding semi-autos are just as reliable as revolvers because law enforcement and the military now most commonly issue them - not so. They issue them because their opponents are now carrying semi-auto weapons with 30 round mags. After the FBI had two agents killed and 5 wounded by a suicidal trained ranger maniac with a Ruger semi-auto .223 and multiple 30 round mags, while the FBI agents were only issued revolvers and low capacity semi-auto pistols. The maniac walked up and killed two of the agents while they were trying to reload their pistols. Bears don't carry guns. A revolver is most reliable under compromised environments, and 6 shots is sufficient. The first couple are the ones that will determine how badly it turns out. Unless you're carrying a 10mm! Then you might need a 2nd mag! Ooops... I forgot, we're looking for this thread to end in agreement. [/QUOTE]
