What are you looking for? I assume I will see and avoid most problems, that is my goal, my J-frame is if I get jumped and someone is in contact distance, hands on me, I am never far from more guns and ammo so if the situation goes beyond my original load and 3 speed loaders, I was too far or too injured from my longer firearms to add a magazine fed firearm. My knife is always on me too. I carry a pistol in church because that is a different situation.
I am asking if there is a drill or a technique you think one should be able to accomplish with a small revolver, I gave my reasons for carrying mine above, I figure that is my daily scenario.
I don’t know. There are any number of drills I can run with a pistol that I’d look like a **** if I tried them with a revolver.
Most of my drills incorporate 5-10 yards, 1-3 targets, 2-6 shots, maybe a reload, and 3 seconds or less from the draw, in the Half “A Zone” of an IPSC Target.
I can live it with a pistol.........not a revolver.

Does anyone here shoot a revolver like an extension of themselves. Akin to Jerry Michulek? Can you drive a revolver like a NASCAR?
I suspect a couple here can. Maybe a few. But, the vast majority here most likely drive a pistol better than a revolver.
I stand to be corrected. If you can drive a revolver better than a semi-auto pistol (and I don’t mean slow fire.....drive the gun as if your life depended on it).......please say so.
I’m honestly curious.
Disclaimer: I’m likely to call BS unless you can prove it or have the rep to hold otherwise.
Revolvers ain’t t as easy. You wanna call yourself Jerry or Munden.........be prepared to prove it.
Yes.......I’m an ass.
All the trophies I have in the case in the front bedroom say I used to be pretty good (Not great, but pretty good)with my old 6" 586. Now, not so much But then, I was also going through ~1k rounds a month at that time.
And if you DO want to be an ass about it, I'll see if I can get enough of the grandkids' toys out from infront of it and take a pic of them for you

No, but then again my J frame is only my "absolutely, positively can't carry the Glock 19" gun.
I am, however, at least okay with it. Last time I practiced with it I could keep 5 shots in an IPSC A-zone in ~3.5 seconds. Start with gun loaded on the table, hand in pocket (couldn't draw from a holster back then at the range). Managed to get the first shots off in 1.8 or so.

OK, something else to add to the list.....

All my matches were IDPA or “Tactical” (local/national/international) in nature.
I still prefer my semi autos
