A Ruger GP100 was my second gun to own and it's still one of my favorites. I'll carry an LCR when I need something lightweight to run out for a quick errand. And my Single Six is just so fun to shoot. So, yes, I think revolvers have a place. If the stats of most civilian self-defense shootings being around 3 shots is an indication (obviously averages are not perfect), a revolver will meet many threat scenarios.
