Big Rob is correct. Real beer is and has been making a come-back. I used to consider English ales to be the best of all, but American microbrews are holding their own. Homemade beer is even better.
As for revolvers, they're hard to shoot well, they have low capacity, and they're slow to reload. I love them.
I'll take a high-cap 9 for a shooting contest anytime, but for handling a gun day-to-day, I'll choose a revolver.

A speedload in 3 - 4 seconds is easily possible, the 1.5 second reload takes dedication. Just the same way as a 10 - 20 handicap is gained by practice and scratch means you spend your life on the fairway.
It's all a matter of motivation!

Fear is a good motivator.
6 in the tank - 6 more - 4 bad guys hurry sucker.... My brother is the fastest person that I have ever seen aside from Jerry with a revolver... Honestly.
My brother shoots my old GP100 so fast it sounds like 1 long shot when it is 5 or 6 - he is fast - h can reload FAST - BUT he is motivated and considers skill at arms important - as it really is where he lives.
the kid is fast - faster than I may be willing to admit. A fast revoolver reload is something that CAN be done - and should be mastered if you plan on carryong one.
If stats are to be believed - a reload is rarely needed - but you better know how to execute one fast should push come to shove.
A fast auto reload is JUST as important if not more so - revolvers dont suffer many of the same pitfalls of an auto - but there are some problems that cannot be easily solved without a new mag and some intense negotiations with your hog leg...

I'll keep practicing the reload along with everything else. To be honest, though, if I were motivated enough to do what's required to be really fast with it, I'd probably screw my head on differently and carry a Glock 26.
