Wyatt Earp was famous for passing ordinances banning the carrying of guns, which by the way we now know were unconstitutional given the recent supreme court decisions. He was a long-time resident of California, and his effect on that issue is still felt by residents of that state today.
Can you tell I am not a fan of Wyatt Earp?

This old thread is certainly worth reading. I know I definitely shoot better using a GP100 with a 6" barrel than an LCP. However, when comparing weapons that are similar in size I shoot better, and for longer periods of time, with a semi-auto pistol. Revolvers have many fine characteristics, but generally superior performance is not one of them.
