The revolver doesn't require any "action" movement to fire. Less malfunctions can occur with a revolver, and with a speed loader, you can easily carry and fire the same number of rounds. Don't knock em...they have been around forever for a reason!!!
I like revolvers...but what you just said seems wrong. Do you have any reference too back up your opinions?
I don't believe I will ever see a revolver shoot as fast as a 1911 race gun (maybe with exceptions from people like Bob Munden).
Also, my firearm holds 13+1....with one spare mag I have 27 rounds...with a 6 shooter, that's three speed loaders+...so while you can hold as many, it takes up a lot of room on the belt.
You asked a question and answered it in the same breath. Race guns and old Bob both fit in the special catagory. Bob is all the backup you need to support speed of revolvers. In all seriousness though. There is nothing wrong with a revolver as a CCW, the number of shots each holds is lame at best. I can shoot 1" groups with my .38 all day; I trade number of shots for accuracy.
