I carry a semi. It's more or less a personal choice for me.
Don't get me wrong - I still greatly respect a revolver. I just find they aren't me.
I have a friend who has a wheel gun, he loves that thing. He hates semi's. I love semi's. Not a big fan of revolvers. Personal taste.
I carry 25 rounds (3 magazines +1 in the pipe) - if I were to carry that with speed loaders, I would have a rather bulgy pocket if I may say so...
Either way, semi or wheelie, its the operator's choice, bottom line. People can go back and forth on everything, but it all boils down to personal taste, training, and experience with whatever they decide to defend themselves with.
