This video is from a man saying he's retired CIA talking about the
merits of the revolver. Knowing little about guns, I've always thought
the simpler, the better.

Should everyone use a revolver as their main handgun?

For most people it would likely be a decent choice. Not good for the
LEO who might need more shots than a revolver has.

I remember someone posting about a rather unusual revolver with respect
to the recent series Westworld. Instead of a single ring of 5 or 6
bullets, it had THREE rings of 6 bullets each for a total of 18 rounds. >That's more than the capacity of standard-sized magazines for many
modern semi-automatic pistols. I have no idea if these are still made or
if this is strictly a museum piece but if there was a demand for such >pistols, I imagine someone would make them.
