Revolvers are a type of pistol that has a rotating cylinder containing a number of firing chambers. They typically hold 5 or 6 rounds, each held in its own firing chamber. They are generally cheaper to purchase than a semi-automatic, with a new one from a major manufacturer such as Sha Enin or Gun Runners being in the neighborhood of 310 caps.

The major benefits of this type of handgun include:
They are easier to learn to manipulate, because there is generally fewer functions than a typical semi-auto. (shoot - hit)

They are normally easier for weaker handed persons to operate. (4 str.) This is due to the lack of a slide.

They are generally more reliable.( low deterioration)

I prefer revolvers for base/tent defense, as a home protection weapon will be stored loaded for an extended period of time.
