This guy has a very bad writing style. He just is all over the place. I like the airsoft idea but where do you train with it force on force.
On his idea that revolver aren't worth anything, I would just say carrying a gun in and of itself is worth a lot. According to multiple studies, guns are used in defense 1-2.5 million times a year. And yet according to the FBI stats, there are only about 200 justifiable homocides a year by private citizens. That suggests that just showing a gun stops the majority of criminals in their tracks. There are also studies that indicate that looking at five or six bullets in a cylinder is very disturbing to BGs. If so, in the vast majority of cases a revolver may be the best gun to have. I carry either a revolver or semi-auto and feel better with either one than neither.
Most of his other ideas are things that I have read in multiple sources from Fairbairn and Sykes to Cooper to Ayoob to Suarez etc. And they are much better explained in those sources.
However, I am 52, have never been in a real fight, live and work in very safe areas, do not frequent bars, strip joints or areas of town that are dangerous (unless you consider church dangerous), don't have any enemies that I am aware of and often wonder why I carry a gun whenever I can. I guess maybe that if I add just one more to the number of people carrying with CHLs, maybe it will deter some BG somewhere which I think was the ultimate point of this piece.
