In a defensive situation, worrying about leaving cases behind probably isn’t even on your radar.

You should carry what you like. But revolvers do make fine carry guns: small, no external safety. My only reserve is the limited capacity. Six rounds of 38spl just doesn’t instill confidence in me. Not to mention the old “widow maker” didn’t get it’s name for nothing! Although modern hollow points have leveled the playing field, so I will concede that is moot. Now, know, I know… overwhelming majority of gun fights are over within a few shots. But that’s just not comforting. It’s why I carry a Glock 26 type pistol. 12+1 of 9mm. And it will take any of the larger Glock mags for target shooting, plinking or, “ahem!”, reloads! Last week I picked up a BladeTech Klipt IWB holster, and I’ve been wearing it appendix-thigh carry everywhere I’ve gone.
