You know how it goes, the BS always flows wide and deep at any good gun store I've ever been in. I expressed my personal opinion that if I have to defend myself with a hand gun, given a choice, I would always choose a double action revolver. This is assuming I couldn't get to Mr. 870, or my AR or the lever action 30-30 first. My way of saying any hand gun is a second class weapon if my old wrinkled butt is on the line. Having said that, my S+W 16 would be my first choice if I have to use a hand gun to shoot my way to Mr. 870, etc.
At some point the conversation took a turn and we started wondering why, for instance, are low end revolvers usually higher priced than low end autos. Why does a good quality revolver sell for $700, $800 or higher? I mean we are talking pretty much a 150+ year old plus design so logic dictates revolvers wouldn't all that high. So the simple fact was that none of the four of us could answer the question. I'm guessing one of you GB guys actually knows the why of this. So what is the reason??

And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
