Bit in the air on what to give the Black Paw operatives for my story.

Originally it was a 10mm self loading pistol but.... those would be unreliable juggling High Explosive, Armour Penetrating, Non lethal rubber bullets or regular hollowpoint rounds.....

The thing about a revolver is it could fire all of those reliably every time without fail... also bigger bullets to take down the hard to kill shapeshifter's who may or may not be able to shrug off ye typical 9x19mm....

eh...
