I think I'm becoming a revolver guy

[Mark_Mark]

I need more DA revolvers, only own 1, believe it or not, but have 6 single actions

My son, that will require ten Hail Marys and ten Our Fathers.

You clearly need at least twenty more DA revolvers to maintain your credibility here. Remember, we are here to enable you! If you want to journey across the Sound, I'll let you know if there's anything good in any of the West or South Sound shops.

Shooting revolvers hurts your back less than shooting autoloaders does.

If that statement puzzles you, wait a few years, you'll figure it out.

Ever since my first revolver, I have enjoyed them. But it has occurred to me that all I really want these days are revolvers (still wouldn't mind a high end 9mm semi-auto, but that's for another day). When I go to gun shops, I look for revolvers first. All of my reloading is for revolvers. They just have an appeal that I don't get from a semi-auto. Working the hammer, working the cylinder, the relative simplicity of the design, the history, the cool look that they have, the accuracy, the great single action trigger. It's all winning me over. My first revolver was a 357 used blackhawk , then a Uberti SAA clone in 45 Colt, Then the Anaconda. And just yesterday the GP 100 in 357. I'll still shoot my semi-autos of course, and I will probably buy others, but for now, give me a revolver!

I am usually a semi-auto guy... but to me there is just something cathartic about thumbing big ole Magnum rounds into the chambers of a revolver.

Agreed, I like a lot of semi auto, especially pocket pistols, but am increasingly more into revolvers

Or you could just explain it now.....

Or you could just explain it now.....

Because you don't have to bend over to pick up brass?

Helps to take my son, with his strong back to bend over and pick up my semiauto brass while I eject my revolver brass right into my brass bag.

"Or you could just explain it now....."

Giving away the punch line lets the air out of the balloon....

lol, ok, I should have seen that coming...

 

[Jeff olson]

We love the roundy rounds here. Seriously, no semi auto has the same appeal. Just something I feel about them.

For me it's an issue of my hand strength as I'm aging it's getting harder for me to rack the semiautos. even my Smith & Wesson M&P EZ is getting hard to Rack. if that tells you what I mean
