I certainly would not call it inferior. However, I suppose most newbies would not have access to someone such as yourself to build these custom guns, and the ammunition is more expensive, rare and specialized. A semi auto in the Glock dept is not safe for a novice to carry racked, in my opinion, but racking it upon sighting game can be an exercise for the excited, buck-fevered novice as well, especially for the beginner, small woman, teen girl? I carry my concealed carry 1911 cocked-and-locked, and we don't want to even go there, at least not with my wife or any one of my four teenage daughters

I think a revolver in a proper caliber, say a .357 or .44spcl for example, might provide a more built-in point of safety, simplicity and economy for the largest number of ...non-hardcore shooters...can we say?

If it were supposed to be easy, they'd have sent my little sister to do it.
