My cousin has one. He lives on a very snakey place in the country. He

    ... For hitting targets the Semi-auto is clearly easier to master but, Almost all defense shootings are done at very close range, unless you have ice in your veins you will be frightened and adrenaline will be high, and you probably won't even notice how much effort it takes to pull the trigger. ... My experience is that for people with small hands, and with less strength in their hands, the long, heavy trigger pull on a revolver ends up with shots all over the place. ...
