Only a muppet would shoot a revolver with a double handed grip like that. It's fairly obviously a BAD idea. Doesn't make them inherently dangerous. Hold a semi wrongly and it'll take the tip off your thumb!

My other half agrees with your. So it's a 2 shot revolver for me.
All guns can be dangerous if held the wrong way eather pistol or rifle

No valid argument for a revolver being better. A semi auto is easier to carry, and can be sound moderated. A sound moderator on a revolver won't work due to the air gap between the cylinder and barrel.

Yes and this is the argument I had with the local FEO.....If the issuing Police Force ''stipulate '' it must be restricted and there is work done to the firearms which alters its structure then it must be re-proofed and who pays ????????
alternatively Nylon tamper evident plugs are available which can be used but some forces dont accept these as an adequate means of restriction and this is yet another example of different police forces adopting their own interpretation of the Firearms Act Guidelines for licensing etc
There should be a uniform ( no fun intended ) approach to firearms licensing - That is why the Firearms Act Licensing guidelines were introduced ....

In respect of a uniform approach, the guidance does rightly allow for a Chief Officers discretion and that each "application" should be considered on its merits.......be careful what you wish for.

There have been several Forces who have been severely criticised for their interpretation of the guide-lines...

I had a barney with the local supernintendo over this very point. I have a webley .22 target revolver, six shot as usual. the law was changed in Ireland that the max capacity was to be five rounds. So he told me to insert and weld a steel plug into one chamber. Of course i refused, saying it would render the revolver out of proof. I agreed to loctite a brass pin in instead.
No, but you must have got it when I had the 357 Mag revolver.

Police Scotland have basically reverted to threats about the guns you already hold when it comes to knocking you back for a pistol. They make it clear you better not argue the point or they will make life tough for you. Totally ignoring any guidelines and talking utter rubbish, but then lacing it with threats.

I recall being told by by my old flo the current chief would not allow me 308w as it was too easy to obtain ap rounds, I was advised to go along with his reasoning and settle for 243w instead as arguing with him [the chief] would likely result in a total rejection. I complied at the time and he is no longer around, currently I have been told I can more or less have most if not all calibres subsequent to proper application, even 50 cal [subject to the usual conditions] as it happens I couldn't afford to load for one let alone shoot it. In all honesty I became so fond of the 243w not to mention quite proficient, I don't think I could improve anything by changing after all these years. it's ****es you off though when they seem to make up the rules or interpret them to suit their somewhat personal agendas.
ironically it wasn't 308w that became a problem at the time,, it was semi auto c/f and of course handguns.
