Why I Would Recommend a Revolver in 2026
In this video, we examine whether the Taurus 605 T.O.R.O. revolver might be one of the best self-defense handguns for the average gun owner, despite going against much of the current consensus in the firearms community. Rather than assuming a highly trained shooter, we explore what defensive handgun makes the most sense for someone who rarely practices, may never attend a training class, and simply wants a reliable firearm for personal protection. We compare the strengths and weaknesses of revolvers versus modern striker-fired pistols, discuss red dots, weapon lights, malfunctions, ammunition choices, concealed carry, and the realities of defensive gun use under stress. If you're researching the Taurus 605 T.O.R.O., revolvers for concealed carry, .38 Special vs .357 Magnum, or the best handgun for inexperienced gun owners, this video offers a practical perspective on choosing a firearm based on realistic user capability rather than enthusiast assumptions.
