Many people rely on a revolver for home defense and concealed carry. The choice of the revolver has many reasons: its reputation for reliability, simplicity of design, ease of maintenance, resistance to malfunctions, they make excellent backup guns, and more! Some people have a revolver simply because it was passed down from a loved one. Whatever your reason, Patriot Training is here to help you with this tool of self defense!
