Gunfight Myth: Pocket Full of Brass

This is interesting for most of us, although it wouldn’t and doesn’t dissuade me from carrying a revolver for personal defense. Of course, if your name is Jerry Miculek, none of this applies to you. It seems to me that one of the lessons is to carry a backup handgun if you think you might be in a protracted gunfight. If you can’t predict the future like most of us, I guess get good with speed loaders. I like the idea of carrying a secondary weapon better.
On a related note, I don’t ever buy Armscor ammunition. One comment to Sam’s video is interesting: “Back as a cop, I carried a 22 mag pocket revolver as a backup to the 38 issued weapon. Our armourer specifically warned us not to use Squires Bingham (what Armscor used to be in those days) 22 wrmf rounds for this reason. And this was quite a while ago now. Seems their QA for their rimfire mag round has not improved much.”

Anyone dumb enough to be picking up brass in the middle of a gunfight is an idiot needing removal from the gene pool.

If I ever think I’m going to be in a protracted gunfight, I’ll be bringing a long gun.

I emphasize using a partial reload if a revolver user isn’t running speedloaders. The question comes up frequently during CCW classes. Better to get a couple of rounds into the gun right now and get back on target than concentrate on dropping in all five or six for a complete reload.
