Studies show that handguns, often either revolvers or auto-loading pistols, are most popular for home defense. Revolvers can be single- or double-action styles. Double action is typically safer, reliable and hard to jam. A single-action revolver might be better for an experienced shooter. Most revolvers hold five or six cartridges, but some can hold 10 or more. The revolver does not need regular maintenance, after months or years it will still fire quickly and accurately. - Getting familiar with a handgun takes practice.woman"s hand and a gun image by Elena Vdovina from Fotolia.com
