Revolvers are (Relatively) Simple Mechanically
While revolvers are more complex than a break action shotgun, compared to modern automatic pistols they are far more simple to understand and operate. One of the many benefits of a revolver is that all of the components you need to use it are attached to the weapon. Unlike automatics, there is no need for a magazine full of ammunition. Instead, the revolver’s cylinder, the part of the revolver that holds the rounds, is a part of the handgun. Another difference between a revolver and an automatic is the action. Whereas an automatic uses the pressure from the gases escaping from a fired round to push the slide back and chamber the next round, a revolver uses the trigger mechanism to turn the cylinder and chamber the next round.
Revolvers Are Easy to Use
While most modern handguns, including automatics, are fairly easy to use, the self-contained nature of their design make them easy to check, reload, and shoot. If you are just learning how to shoot, simplicity is important because it lets you focus on what is most important when firing a gun: maintaining the highest safety standards and focusing on the fundamentals of aiming, breathing, and trigger control.
Loading and reloading a revolver is also much faster and less taxing on the hands than a pistol with a magazine, especially if you have a new gun with new magazines. Simply find the Speed Beez speed loader that was designed specifically for your revolver and you will be able to reload in seconds! Don’t waste time forcing ten or more rounds down against a stiff magazine spring when you can have your loading blocks set up before you even get to the range!
