I Love REVOLVERS

[Retired Bum]

There, fixed it for you. (1911 fanboy)

Never make assumptions, I had a 1911 in the 70s, and 80s, but the selection was not like it is today. With the choices today, I would never pick a 1911, so there!!!

 

[Retired Bum]

And autos are a passing fad!!!!!

Nice revolver collection Hayes. Started LEO years with M-19, 66 both 4" er's.

Model 15 for18 years for me.

Not if you believe the 1911 fanboys. 2 world wars and the like.

Well since we are all getting older here’s some humor.

My disclaimer I started with a Model 15 in the USAF and like DA revolvers, DA/SA and GK LEM Autos and 1911’s

I would never buy a 1911 and acknowledge it

I would never buy a 1911 and acknowledge it

I feel that way about any gun other than a Hy Point

I have a model 29-3 model 10 model 27 model 17 and a jframe 640

 

[Retired Bum]

I think I have currently,

29, 28, 27, 57, 624, 686 x3, 48 x2, 642, 36, 60, 34, 17 x2, 14 x2, ???.

These are the ones I have from Smith and Wesson, at least the ones I remembered.

So yes, autos are a passing fad are my house.

 

[Retired Bum]

My rememberer don't work good these days, I forgot

625, 25, 13, my favorite carry gun, and I don't know what else is around here.....

There is something about a wheel gun
Practical - Simplicity - great for the professional and the civilian

I come to this site to learn.

QUESTIONS:
For the J FRAME FANs:
For the LCR FANS
For the TAURUS FANS
1) why did you chose your revolver-?
2) how to you EDC-?
3) what would you or not change change-?
4) your next revolver purchase-?

THIS IS SUPPOSE TO BE A POSITIVE THREAD:

For this Old Dawg
1) Because I was brought up a Snubby and it is a CQC tool - I could only afford a Taurus 605 357 Poly
2) it is my always firearm - cross draw OWB or IWB - when it was my BUG, pocket strong side.
3) change the trigger - not change the reliability factor
4) LCRx in either 38 or 22LR

How about you-?

Thank you

I have owned and tried many times to like a double action revolver. No matter how much I shoot one and train with one to me it like kissing you sister just feels weird. Glocks are the same.

 

[Condition1]

Ruger Super Blackhawk 7.5” barrel 44 mag
Ruger Super Wrangler 22lr/22mag
Ruger Wrangler 22lr
My next revolver purchase will probably be a Super Blackhawk 44 mag with 5.5 barrel. I still carry a single action every now and again in 44 mag with Barnes 220 gr SCHP which is more along the lines of a 44 spl +p+. Revolvers aren’t dead people are getting tired of Tupperware guns(I own several) and revolvers aren’t dead people making a huge comeback.

I dream of finding Auto with trigger as good as a Revolver . Sig P-225 comes closest .

1911’s have excellent triggers if they have been worked on and done right. When I was fitting all the parts to mine I had it down to a pound and a half just to try it out. It’s about 4-4.5 now. Reset is less than a quarter of an inch. And you don’t need any special tools to fit the parts of a 1911. Just patients. And a little bit of understanding of how the parts work.

 

[Biggfoot44]

Ok , 1911 are capable of being 1911's .

I should have specified a DA/SA , DAO , or Striker Fired , that can hold a candle to a fairly decent DA Revolver .
