I prefer a revolver, for simplicity, safety and silence. I'd rather not try navigating a long gun in the corridors and confines of my home - and I like the concealability of the Model 49 for times when we get an unknown caller at the door.

To those who talk about "third world" conditions in America, I have to ask: have you actually spent any time in real Third World countries? Anyone who has, knows the comparison is absurd.

It's really irritating that even a straightforward question about ammunition can be hijacked by trolls who insist on posting their ignorance on race and politics.
