I started off with revolvers (S & W Model 15) during AFROTC summer camp and continued through Security Police (now Forces) Training for SF at Lackland AFB in 1970. Owned a few of my own over the years. There is just something about old S&W revolvers: accurate and comfortable in the hand. | |||

I enjoy shooting my big bore, high HP handguns, this is revolver territory. My Dan Wesson 44 mag and 445 SuperMag revolvers along with my 460S&W, Freedom Arms 454 Casul,357 Ruger 3 screw, and non revolver handguns 30/30 T/C Contender, scratch that itch. | |||

Yea man, best way to show the punks who's got the heat, Dirty Harry style all the way. For some reason I think revolvers just point more naturally for me. Maybe because I cut my handgun teeth exclusively with revolvers, shooting both a 27 and 29 when I was young. I remember a load a liked for the 29: 240 Gr. Speer JHP over 24 grains of Alliant 2400. I learned later that load was a little too hot, but that was in the day when the early print of the Hornady loading book was created before they updated the testing methodology for pressure testing. Yea baby, those mofos did the job and then some. Lover of the US Constitution Wile E. Coyote School of DIY Disaster | |||

I have always been a fan of revolvers. I have owned and shot Colt, Ruger, S&W, Charter Arms, Rossi, Dan Wesson, and Kimber. I am sure I missed one or two oh well. I Hate semi-autos, oh no I like them too. I currently carry a Colt Cobra made in 1975. I know I am dead meat in a gun fight, but I will go out in style.  Michael | |||

25% more fun at the range for scaring paper and steel plates. Total agreement here. And a .357 mag will cover all the bases for defence purposes. But for daily carry , I have to hang on to my bottom feeder. P.s. Revolvers look way better when you open carry. Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency.

Guilty - love the feel, the style and the history. I enjoy shooting them. Pragmatism: the relentless pursuit of seeing things as they really are. | |||

That's from Mernickle, their Field Carry (now Vertical Carry). I like this holster and had one for USFA Rodeo that I carried for while. "Nature scares me" a quote by my friend Bob after a rough day at sea. | |||

Guilty as charged. Truth be told, I have a 1911 - or two, a P210 from the early 50's, a W German P220 and a bull barrel Ruger MkII , but other than that, everything is a wheel gun. I cast my own and have 38Spl all the way up to 480. Revolvers are generally more powerful and accurate than a bottom feeder. | |||

I confess - I collect post-war S&W revolvers and especially like those that are odd, unique, low production, special in some way or another. Adios, Pizza Bob NRA Benefactor Member | |||

The mechanical function and design of a good revolver gets me every time. My top three BBQ guns are revolvers. | |||

Guilty Started when I inherited my Pop-pop’s S&W Victory model (even though when he told me I was gonna get it I was disappointed because I loved the 1911) but it turned out to be so smooth and easy to shoot I began enjoying them. I had my brother buy me a 357 when I was in the USCG but only 18. Later I became a cop and eventually bought a j frame for a backup gun. I’ve been hooked since. I want a Ruger Single action in 44 mag but Mrs. MIke got me a S&W 69 in 4”(44 mag) so I just can’t settle in my head why I need a SA in the same caliber. I’d like a Ruger GP in 10mm but I really don’t need another caliber… “You may beat me, but you will never win.” sigmonkey-2020 “ in my opinion, anything that we can do to trigger a potential aneurysm in a leftist is a good thing and worth doing” nhtagmember 2025 | |||

From the time I was a wee lad, it was all I knew. I carried and shot a Ruger Single Six long before I knew what an auto loader was. My dad bought a Smith Model 28 in 1971. Until my 18th birthday we shot the crap out of it. There was a place in Chattanooga that we were buying 148 grain hollow base wadcutters for $38/1k. And we shot and shot and shot. Then came the 2.5 inch 19s. And we bought amd traded a lot of Ruger Speed Six’s. They were half the price of a 19. And there’s still nothing that is sexier to me than a mid 70s deep blue 2.5 inch 19 with a red ramp. When I graduated the academy, my dad gave me a lightly used 2.5 inch 66. It’ll be the last gun I part with. Yeah I still have a thing for them. ________________ People hate you. Train like it. | |||

Told cops where to go for over 29 years… |
My first handgun was a Dan Wesson .357 SS VH pistol pack, back in 1983. I gold plated the trigger and hammer, single action broke crisp merely thinking about trigger. Damn I wish I hung on to that wheel gun. Had a few others over the years, SW M&P340, a SW 640, SP101 in .357. They all fell “victim” to me consolidating to 9mm/.45acp only handguns a few years back. Only revolvers I have these days is a pair of Ruger SP101’s in 9mm and a Ruger Bearcat SA in .22. What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand???  | |||
