The revolver is a simple, low maintenance, and accurate handgun that can take years of abuse and still deliver the same performance as the day it was bought. Revolvers offer many benefits including the ability to fire light practice loads and heavy defensive rounds from the same gun. Some revolvers are even lighter than the holsters that carry them, making them ideal for use by officers on search and rescue duty or by officers in formal attire. The author observes that the lightweight nature of the revolver also makes it perfect for concealment in a pocket and for warm weather wear. The different aspects of revolvers are described and advice is offered on how to select an appropriate grip and how to fire and reload a revolver.
