Bwah hah hah. Ummmmm. I think not.
Poor choice of words, but let's be honest the number of single fire and manual action handguns is limited to collectors basically, using the term "all" maybe was wrong but to be frank, I have never seen non-self loading pistols and I think most average people wouldn't even know what a non-selfloading pistol is
Sorry mate, but you've got to be kidding right? Folks would be wondering just what range you attend if that is the opinion or belief you have. Sorry, I don't mean to be rude but I'm still shaking my head in disbelief of what you've said in that post!
I own several pistols, includinga Ruger Charger, but aside from one other semi-auto, the rest are all revolvers!
As has been said, there are a lot of revolver specific comps, all of which are usually very well attended.
Maybe you should google the SSAA & check out the pistol disciplines. It will help in expanding your perceptions.
Also, I have to take umbrage at the rest of this particular post. Just who are you referring to as "most average people" ??? I would hazard a guess that if you polled 100 folk off the street you would find that people do know there are revolvers, flintlocks and semi autos amongst others! Granted maybe not knowing of some of the more unique types but in general 'yes'. Most "average people" watch tv and movies and you will see most common types being used by actors.
Oh and it would not just be the realm of the collector for anythung but semi-autos!
Don't take this the wrong way but your comment is just is soooo wrong!
