Nowadays, many seem to look down upon the old double action revolver. While they may consider it to be a good "starter handgun" for a novice because it is simple to operate, they prefer semi-automatics-- 1911s, Berettas, Glocks, SIGS-- the list could go on and on. They like the advantages these pistols offer such as a flat profile, magazine capacity, and fast reloads; they may also prefer a certain trigger, such as that of he single action 1911. While semi-automatic pistols can provide advantages, many who carry them would be better served carrying a revolver.
