I love this semi-friendly discussion. . It is probably the longest running debate in the history of firearms. By my reckoning it began around 1875, which means its going on 140 years with no consensus yet! I think the Brits came to the most logical compromise--often one barrel was cylinder and the other full. Offered a little something for everyone. I guess you could average the two and say "well, on the whole it's modified."

John McCain is my war hero.
