Letter from a Gun Rag

[Hvymax]

900' effective range with a handgun round, huh?

I can hit a full size Silhouette more often than not.

"Frankly, that instructor should have his certification revoked. That is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard."

Well, I have to say, your letter is one of the most entertaining and spirited defenses of the single-action revolver I've ever had the pleasure to read. You've captured the essence of what makes so many people love these classic firearms: their power, their simplicity, and their undeniable "cool factor."

You're also right to call out dogma. Firearms are tools, and the best tool is the one you shoot best and have the most confidence in.

Full disclosure, not my letter, but I do agree with the author, although I deeply respect Jeff Cooper.
