Seems like all the advances are in Auto's now and Revolvers are taking a back seat to them.
I completely disagree with that.
Even Ruger has started putting the BILLBOARD on the bottom of the gun.
I bought one just in celebration of that.
Have you seen some of the awesome reproductions that were not available just a few years ago?
What sort of "advancement" are you looking for in a six-shooter?
You want a plastic one?
They have them now.
You want one that is so lightweight that even .38 wadcutters are painful to shoot.
They have those too.
High-end new revolvers are NOT cheap.
Custom gunsmiths are turning-out masterpiece revolvers.
Look, I carry a Glock all the time.
Its not an art object, and I have no feelings of nostalgia for it.
The plastic-fantastic autopistols have their place.
But, to me, the revolver is classic.
With what is available now for revolvers, its like they are re-making the 1970 'Cuda.
You'll pay for it, but its worth it in coolness.
The 350Z will stomp the 'Cuda on any road track, but that doesn't make me want it any less.
Nobody names their kid Elmer anymore.
