Tarus is good. Second best, considering price and quality. (Laughs) Ruger is #1!

I think Smith and Wesson and Colt are over priced.

I think my p345 is the best damn pistol ive ever fired. Ruger, loved by humans, hated by the undead.....

If they don't make it any more hang onto it. Might be worth a good bit some day.

I've found myself becoming a bigger and bigger fan of the Glock 22 (.40 S&W) that I've been carrying.

Great stopping power, high capacity (15 round magazines), easy-to-find ammo, light, relatively low recoil, and well balanced.

In terms of reliability compared to a revolver: yes, automatics do have more moving parts than revolvers. But, on the other hand, I haven't had a single misfire in a few thousand rounds fired. On the other hand, I've had a .22LR and a .357 mag revolver both fail on me (failures on the hammer springs)

Ammo capacity is one of the big selling points for most automatics. Four reloads with a revolver will give you between 20 and 32 shots, depending on the model. Four reloads with a Glock 22 will give you 60 shots. Plus, the reloading time is damn fast (given just a bit of practice).

Yeah, there are downsides to automatics: necessity for training - revolvers are easier to pick up and just shoot, especially compared to some autos (the interplay between cocking, safeties, and decocking levers can be a bit weird with some weapons). Of course, if you don't want to screw with a manual safety and a decocker on an automatic, buy a Glock.

Just one final note - my next handgun purchase is going to be a .357 mag - the ability to use .357 mag or .38 special is pretty nifty.

Like I said before. Nothing wrong with carrying more than one.

For all you 9mm people. Taurus and Korth make 9mm revolvers. Good back up to have.

Back to extreme close-quarters and handguns. You might have to check out close-quarter spaces. Such as: Attics, basements, crawl spaces, and extremely cluttered rooms.

Hard to beat a handgun in those places.

Semi-auto's vs. Revolvers:

Well, I am a big fan of all guns, so I like both, and believe there would be lots of uses for both in a zombie attack. I hear alot of people talk about auto's jamming, but if you start off with quality equipment, and clean it after every use, then you should have few problems with jamming. I've got a Ruger p-89 which I've probably put a few thousand rounds through, and I haven't had one jam or misfire. And thats a p-89, very inexpensive, but also very reliable. Also, if you're thinking of training with semi-auto's, try to practice clearing malfunctions, just in case.

On the case of revolvers, I have an EAA Windicator in .38 special. A snubbie with a 2" barrel, nice rubber grips, and very inexpensive. You can get a EAA .357 for around $250 I think. I will carry mine as a backup piece, along with the Springfield Armory XD-40 subcompact. Like sanchez was saying, it all comes down to training! If you train with your revolver, and I don't train with my semi-auto, then you are naturally going to be a better shot, faster reloader, etc.

Was wondering if there was a revolver that could fire .40 SW and 10mm rounds (the latter is new to me). Turns out there is a double-action made by S&W, and I think Taurus, that can. With moon clips of course. Any .40 fans here that need a back up?

If you liked the Browning Hi-power look into CZs. They are the little known secret in quality auto pistols.
