While many have proclaimed their death, revolvers still remain a popular handgun. Their general small size and ease of use make them a solid EDC weapon. The challenge for many people, however, is that most defensive revolvers are chambered in .357 magnum or above. This can be tough on the wrists when training for long periods of time. I am here to tell you that there is another option. Smith & Wesson has now released the Model 940-3 Revolver chambered in the popular and easier to shoot 9mm.
