Interesting that this article came out on the heels of Rugers recent announcement. Is there any validity here?
Why are Revolvers Making a Big Come Back?

If I were a better purveyor of bullshit, I could write professional articles on Guns...
The one thing you can get from Revolvers that hits the proverbial wall is Power; outside of the defunct "Automags" and perhaps the .45 Win Mag LAR Grizzly, it's hard to get better than about .44 mag out of a Pistol. (thinking .460 Roland)
Don't let anyone tell you that Revolvers cannot or do not fail, because they do, and the article says there are fewer moving parts which is subjective and without comparison.
Carry what you have provided you can conceal it and qualify with it as well...multiple shots are desirable, but how many rounds do you think you're going to get off before exiting Stage Left?

Manufacturers of wheel guns need to update their offerings. When semi auto pistols it is easy to get one with fiber optic sights, night sights or basic white 3 dot sights. With revolvers the vast majority are either black on black or just a gutter sight with black front. How about making a revolver that takes Glock pattern sights so I have a huge selection of after market sights to pick from?
How about making a revolver that can accept red dot plates or even direct mount for a red dot. Most modern shooters want to mount a red dot to their handgun. Currently only Taurus offers such a revolver with factory red dot mounting. Revolvers make a ton of sense since you don’t have a moving slide, and thus by proxy a moving red dot.
Like I own 4 revolvers currently, and dealing with getting better sights on them has been a giant pain in the ass.

There’s no reason to use a revolver for CCW or HD unless you are a diminutive female who cannot handle an auto. They are obsolete relics of an earlier era.

Bottom feeders are for people who need more rounds to compensate for crappy shooting skills.
Alpha Men and Women who carry revolvers are confident in their abilities.
That doesn't sit well with the Beta bottom feeding crowd.

Meh. No. The only time I’ve really looked at buying a revolver is for a snakesnot or for fun. And the only people I know who have revolvers have them for fun or just to shoot something different.
Hard to put an optic or light on it. Less rounds. Slow reload.
Maybe something small for pocket carry but I’d still rather have my normal ccw.

Back in the 1970s I gave my girlfriend/wife a Dan Wesson 357 with 2" barrel and combat grips, she carried it in a purse/handbag just larger than the revolver.
As far as using it, I have a good story, but lets say it will shoot through a small purse with out pulling it.

I am partial to stainless revolvers, and have a collection of them from .22 to .44’s, from S&W, Ruger, and others.
My first EDC was a snubby Ruger SP101 .357. Very, very concealable. The muzzle flash alone can blind an attacker.
Still a favorite, and still goes into the rotation. Mine til I die someday.
