Back in the day, before LEOs carried double stack pistols with more rounds at the ready than my ancestor Lt Joseph (*****)'s entire Light Horse Dragoon unit had loaded in their pistols in 1778.....there was a term New York Reload,,,which was If I recall meant the service revolver in their duty rig and a back gun
When NYSAFE outlawed more than 7 rounds in a magazine (for civilians) a lot of guys were very upset,, I would have been too if I had spent money fora 14 round pistol
but to my mind, two 7 round guns are better than 1 14 rounder anyway,, if one runs dry or gets away from you somehow, (like you fell falling down stairs or something , or one did the jamomatic... you have not just 7 more rounds , or no rounds ..but a complete other weapon,
and for home defense etc,, you can hand one off to your wife, daughter , son or partner,
none of this matters much to me, I am a revolver fan anyway,, and revolvers can be had in 5 6, 7 9 and even 10 round cylinders,,and the law does not limit revolver cylinder capacity,
if you have one .357 loaded in 357 and one in.38 spl for the wife, that seems like an ideal situation for extreme anti social interactions, and that 357 is one of the few pistols that will penetrate a car door etc and you can practice cheap or hunt small game with 38s in it. and you can get a lever action Carbine that will fire either of them, 38s for cheap practice, and 357 for serious work.. ad that 357 cartridge , powerful as it is in a revolver, is 1/2 again as strong in a carbine where the entire powder charge can do its work
am I making sense here,, or if not,, I stand by to soak up ridicule,, being married 35 years with 4 teens,,, I am a sponge for it
just sayin..maybe the old ways were best.
