When I am not at work I carry a BUG 99% of the time.

I prefer a Revolver for a BUG for a few simple reasons. I can shoot through the jacket pocket if need be, the Revolver, while "lumpier" in the pocket is harder to identify as a gun, and last but not least, the Revolver is still more reliable in the smaller guns than their bigger Brothers are, and the Revolver tends to draw easier from the pocket too.

I have a Kahr PM9 that is 100% reliable at the Range. I have carried it in my pocket only to find that the magazine has been partially removed from the gun leaving me with a one shot plastic "uberpistol".

Another advantage of the Revolver is, they are not affected by "limp-wristing", nor are they made inoperable when they are shoved in to the gut of the target. BUGS are used when one can't get to their "Primary" Handgun. Most often that means you are likely to be rolling around on the ground fighting with your adversary. In those cases I want the wheelgun.

Revolvers still have their place, and if I'm given a choice I'd take the wheelie for a BUG any day of the week.

Take care and stay safe, Biker
