What's the point of conceal carrying a revolver if you are going to miss every single (of your limited) shots due to recoil anyways?
Isn't revolver conceal carry a bad idea?
What's the point of conceal carrying a revolver if you are going to miss every single (of your limited) shots due to recoil anyways?
Have a higher grip. You don't shoot a snub like a cannon.
Missing due to recoil?
Misses are due to flinching in anticipation of pain/recoil.
Or poor technique.
Sometimes you just miss
Pick calibers which are manageable in a revolver, like 38spl and 32h&r.
Revolvers shift in your grip much more than autoloaders because the gun is entirely rigid.
Police departments almost universally issued .357 revolvers, and .38spl ammunition to shoot in them. .357 was just too hard recoiling to be combat effective, and this was in the time when if you weren't 6ft and male you didn't become a cop.
Its not the 1960s anymore twink, we know nutrition now. Post cute hands.
357 was really just hard on the K-frames themselves back then. S&W's modern K frames don't have that problem because they adjusted the crane so the forcing cone doesn't need reliefand they also added a detenting lock on the crane like what Ruger has been doing since 1979.
The use of 38 vs 357 in training was because that was what S&W told them to do.
Just so you know the whole reason the GP100 was designed was because cops were shooting way more .357 out of the Security/Service Sixes than Ruger expected, causing the guns to have a short life expectancy.
The GP100 was designed for several reasons. 1. it used the superior lockup of the Redhawk, many parts were just scaled down versions. 2. It was cheaper to produce than the six series guns. 3. It was a direct competitor now to S&W's L frame that was introduced 5 years earlier.
The Six series guns never developed a reputation the Smith Ks did for shooting loose, they were considered the most robust of these 3.
>shooting loose
That was Colt not S&W.
Both. The S&W and Colt were both legacy designs that were inadaquate.
lol the S&W action has stood the test of time. Colt had to re-engineer their shit.
Is that why S&W had Dick Baker come in to design the L frame?
Don't pretend like you don't know, S&W made dogshit revolvers as durability is concerned until the 80's.
357 Mag Ks and 44 Mag Ns were the worst offenders.
>Is that why S&W had Dick Baker come in to design the L frame?
No that was because the K-frame should never have been made in ,357 in the first place but they just crammed it in there and hoped for the best. This wasn't anything wrong with the design this was something wrong with the people trying to cut costs where you really shouldn't.
>S&W made dogshit revolvers as durability is concerned until the 80's
Yeah I mean it's not like my 1948 M&P has 30K+ rds through it just since I got my hands on it...oh wait it does!
>357 Mag Ks and 44 Mag Ns were the worst offenders.
Of course they were. They crammed hot magnum shits into guns that were not designed for hot magnum shits and it became apparent that was a bad idea. Business people being business people. If they had rolled up and done fresh R&D for magnums up front like they should have then there would have been no problem.
>S&W made dogshit revolvers as durability is concerned until the 80's.
Wow who knew that shoving pissin-hot magnum loads into K and N-frames would lead to issues, truly this is the fault of S&W.
Fricking moron.
Factory ammo dude. Nevermind their reputation in IHMSA.
Weird, my 19 has been shooting regular 158gr for decades without any issue.
also weird how the issues of end-shake with the model 19 didn't really start cropping up until the 70s when the lighter, faster .357 loads were really taking off and S&W saw no need to introduce a beefier frame for over two decades after the model 19 came out, and that was also in 1980... total coincidence tho, surely.
Endshake is caused by the yoke tube being peened by the back and forth motion of the cylinder. K frames don't have a great deal of bearing surface to resist it. So any 357 load of sufficient power fired enough times will eventually cause it. The lighter loads were hard on the forcing cone, but the forces placed upon the yoke tube's end aren't affected so much by bullet weight alone but rather the balance between weight and velocity.
>Revolvers shift in your grip much more than autoloaders because the gun is entirely rigid.
No they don't, you dumb noodlewristed homosexual.
>the gun is entirely rigid.
anon....
there is a hammer and wheel on that gun, amongst other moving parts.
they are not rigid.
You dont miss from recoil, you miss from lack of training with the round.
>miss due to recoil
You really think someone would do that? Just buy a gun and not even train with it?
Pretty sure every Boomer that buys a Taurus for protection while camping never actually shoots it.
is 357magnum a lot of recoil to you?
Not OP
It's not a lot of recoil in a 4" revolver weighing 2 lbs or more
It can be a lot of recoil for a gun you might actually be able to conceal, like a j frame or an lcr, but that is no excuse for not practicing enough to get used to it
it's fine out of an SP101, which I EDC even in the summer
SP101 is relatively heavy for its size category. One of the reasons I like it for CC
Same but I carry a King Cobra. The full lug weight is nice when shooting full power .357 loads
haha yeah I need to keep an eye on the length of my shorts to make sure neither of my barrels poke out
I prefer to give the ladies a little peek, and always make sure my inseams are shorter than my barrels. Ranger panties come through for the win yet again.
based sp101posters
I know, right.
>a 4" revolver weighing 2lbs or more
>not a gun you might actually be able to conceal
I carry my full frame GP100 in .357 all the time. Just get a good thick belt and don't be a b***h.
Sounds like (you) just have a nasty case of b***h-assedness.
I'm going to prescribe getting a .44 Magnum
I want this one.
the match champion has a trigger job and a shorter grip, which aids concealability
there's a version with a shorter barrel if you don't want to deal with the full 4.2 inches
I do my own trigger jobs and the 3" is about the longest I can comfortably carry.
My fear is that because every gun is an entity unto itself, it may not slick up as well as my current SP101.
For some reason it has the smoothest trigger of most guns I've ever felt excepting a well loved model 66-2.

you're in luck: nobody has it in stock
There's one seller on GB right now who has like 20 for not moron money(normal price, lower than msrp)
I'm goncerned.
Can you put a ruler flush against the back of your cylinder and measure from the top of the strap to the bottom of the grip please? I thought the MC was shorter but I might be moronic now that I look at yours, thanks.
It's just how tall or short your grip is. The frames are basically the same, but the top of your frame has less material milled off so you have a rear sight "ramp".
The fixed sights have the top strap milled flush all the way across.
yeah the match champion grips are different and won't fit the standard SP101
Some revolvertard makes these inane threads every day to get people to reinforce his preference, it's so transparent

Anon that's SW
NTA but do you actually not know why it was a thing to take Python barrels and put them on Smith frames?
Because smith barrels were garbage
Swing and a miss, you get one more shot.
Whatever your cope is, those snake guns are post 2017 so its moot
Fuddlore mostly. Unironically, the reputation for accuracy never bore out when you look at long range silhouette competitions. No one was using Pythons, all Dan Wessons and Ruger Super Blackhawks.
The Python is excellent, but gun rags wrote a lot of BS when they weren'r just talking about handloads.
since most of the online revolver fanboys nowadays are zoomers they probably actually don't know there was a whole microindustry in gunsmithing to fix Python timing issues

What a ratfricked thread, jesus
Any thread with an intentionally antagonizing/moronic OP like this one isn't going to fare well. Revolver threads in particular seem to be pretty shitty overall, either from gay auto vs. revolver dumbshittery (which is perpetuated by the same handful of posters imho) or fanboys of Brand X trying to rip on Brand Y, both sides of the coin comprised of twats who are too broke and childish to buy revolvers AND autos along with Smiths AND Colts AND Rugers. It's why I honestly stick to /hgg/.
Planning to get an Anaconda to accompany my Model 19, looking forward to it.
S O V L
the recoil isn't the killer for revolvers, its the shitty DA trigger pull. that clunk midway into the pull will disrupt your aim without lots of practice.
The long trigger pull exposes all the flaws with your trigger your autoloaders are gaslighting you on.
This is true, and I do have a CCW revolver, but I’m not sure a self defense shooting is the time to challenge yourself. Results are all that matters at that point
I have an old S&W 15-3 I inherited almost unused and there's no clunk at all, they just don't make em like they used to
Anon you're supposed to train with your guns what the frick.
You’ll never shoot as quickly and accurately under pressure with a double action gun. Period. Jerry fricking Miculek CCWs a semi-auto and you aren’t 1/50th of his skill level with a revolver.
No one should give a single frick about what Jerry does.

Okay
>You don’t shoot revolvers because you’re too scared of recoil and too weak for the trigger.
>You’ve never even taken a basic CCW class.
>You have no concept of shooting further than 7 yards because you can’t hit anything.
>>'training' to me is going to an indoor range and shooting at one target 7yds away 100 times then leaving.
Are you describing Glockgays? Because it sounds like you're describing Glockgays.
I'm not saying you can't defend yourself with a revolver. I am saying that revolvers do not perform as well as semi-autos. The longer heavier trigger means longer split times and wider groups. Factor in adrenaline and fear and performance declines further. Accurately shooting a gun that is challenging is a mark of skill, but selecting a challenging gun for life-or-death use is a mark of autism.
>revolvers do not perform as well as semi-autos.
yes they do
>The longer heavier trigger means longer split times and wider groups.
both are absolutely irrelevant in self defense. stop watching ~~*LEVIathan Group*~~ videos
Shooting quickly and accurately are some of the most relevant parts of defending yourself with a firearm. You're just flat out wrong. It's ok to carry revolvers, and more than ok to like revolvers, but you don't get to change the facts just because you like something.
Anyone that can shoot a revolver quickly and accurately under stress will shoot a good semi-auto more quickly and more accurately.
>NOOOOOOOOOO STOP USING REVOLVERS IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I HECKIN CONSOOMED WRONGERINO
Buddy its okay, you're just as valid even if people use revolvers!
>Shooting quickly and accurately are some of the most relevant parts of defending yourself with a firearm
No it isn't. it aint the OK Corral or a John Wayne movie and that was all fiction. All you have to do is be aware and prepared, and able to hit a target the size of a hotel sheet pan at 3-7 yards. How fast you draw, shoot or how accurate you are matter not a little shit
>target the size of a hotel sheet pan at 3-7 yards.
More like a salad plate.
Handguns are garbage. You carry one because it's convenient and you're pretty sure you won't need it. If you KNOW you're going to a gunfight you take a rifle.

Go for head shots instead of center-of-mass shots, especially at very close range, where most gunfights occur.
Practice shooting a 6-inch paper plate. If you can hit the plate, you can hit the head.
Most of his gunfights were under 12 feet.
Train for instinctive, point shooting instead of aimed shooting.
In most instances, your off hand is occupied doing something else –be prepared to shoot one-handed.
Carry a backup weapon in case your gun malfunctions or you’re disarmed.
Lieutenant Stasch likes a lightweight .38 revolver as a backup.
He carries a Sig Sauer P220 in .45 because of the feel in the hand “The key to being a good handgun shooter is to have a weapon that’s an extension of your hand. Don’t get the gun that people recommend –get the gun that feels right in your hand. Go to a gun store and pick up every gun with your eyes closed, pick the one that feels like a 6th finger.”

You should really preview your links before posting.
Anyway, out over 1m self-defense incidents involving a gun, the BY FAR most effective thing to do with it is brandish it. more than 3x as effective as shooting them, no matter how fast and how many times.

lol
Literally everything you’re saying just means you never trained with one and don’t know what you’re talking about. Go buy some Captain of Crush grippers and man the frick up.
Post guns already, you're super insecure about people enjoying revolvers lmao. I bet you don't even have a Roland Special, get the frick out of here clownshoes.
Revolvers are less likely to be jammed in a colse range grappling situation, which happens more than people are willing to admit in a self defense scenario with a gun. Something like a J-frame will always be relevant as a backup gun for that reason.
Why are you this insecure? Train more homosexual.
Aw, did I hurt your feelings? You mean it’s hard for your little girl hands to squeeze quickly and smoothly with a DA trigger pull? You know they make spring kits and stuff to make it easier right?
It’s called training with your gun and learning how to man up and control the recoil in an effective manner. I daily carry a 629-6 with a 4” barrel and use 180gr Underwood XTP cartridges. I have shot this gun thousands of times, everything from your standard 240gr all the way up to 350gr handloads countless times. I can one-hand this thing without even flinching. With the 500 Magnum grips and “relatively” lower recoil of the 180gr loads, I can clear the cylinder just under 3 seconds. I’m considering getting it Magnaported to see if that’ll help even more. You have to decide that you want to carry the damn thing and nobody is gonna stop you, then train accordingly.
Recoil is a motherfricker in those small model 69s, the 629 isn't all that much heavier. The heavy handloads I leave for the Rugers.
Brother
>if you are going to miss every single shots due to recoil
lmao oh (You)
Recoil? Bro real life ain't CoD.
>miss every single (of your limited) shots due to recoil
Come on now, 357 from a steel frame is easily manageable if you practice and aren't b***h-made.
>Come on now, 357 from a steel frame is easily manageable if you practice and aren't b***h-made.

Coming from mr ham hands. Not everyone is 5'5 300lbs. I'm sure you are unaffected by recoil until you are out of breath from holding your arms up in the air.
Its okay to enjoy meta autoloaders and six shooters guys. You can own multiple guns.
NO YOU CANT IDORT
In this thread you've got people who don't even own guns taking a stance, expecting them to own what they're arguing about, let alone own both "sides" of the topic, is asking a lot. I've given up discussing revolvers vs. autoloaders, too many morons and poors have made it impossible.
It's just a stupid topic to begin with, I don't engage.

Its a great do all gun for civilian self defense and if I need more I'll carry my 9mm with all the bells and whistles.
>Hillary Hole.
You are a fricking no guns. You don't have any revolver because you are a gay
Because unlike you monsewer stock image poster, I practice with my revolver
Not any of the anons above
Statistics and gay and stupid. They are fake and gay. Unless you have personally created the statistics, gone over the data yourself, you can never trust them. What data are they polling from? Is it verifiable evidence? Secondary, statistical analysis is always of the past. Shit that already has happened to someone else. It’s never about what’s going to happen to you, you haven’t been added to the stats yet. Arguing about stats is nerd shit, carry whatever you want as long as it makes you comfortable. I’ll be carrying a double stack with spare mag because apparently it’s a race to see who can do the most heinous shit among melanated individuals.
>carry whatever fits your hand best that you train with consistently, will carry all the time and you can make fast accurate hits with
Everything else is enthusiast bullshit.
Yep, if you have something that you can land 3-5 hits with in a couple seconds accurately out to I'd say 50-75 feet, you've got a good enough carry and everything after those requirements is a bonus.
So what about people who use old model 3 antiques in 44 russian? Realistically how would they fare?
>Basically zero recoil from 4.5 grains of powder
If you're accurate with it and can get relatively quick follow up shots you should be fine.
Practice shooting till you don’t flinch like a little b***h..
are there any revolvers like this irl? i just think it looks cool and it seems like it would work fine
>t. nogunz poorgay in big city
Looks like a Nagant revolver but stainless/polished instead of blued/blackened.
>brother, there's nothin' better'a'na classic SMETHNWESSON
>jus don be goin shootin' ammo in it like a damn foool!
Noguns moron here so bear with me, but
Why do they fire from the upper cylinder rather than the lower? I understand that setting up the hammer for the lower would probably be harder, but i feel like lower cylinder fire would result in less 'spin' to the recoil making it a bit easier to handle, right? Or am i just super dumb here?
Any gun can fail, but with the barrel at 6 o'clock, in the extremely rare case it does, it's likely gonna explode your finger. A traditional design will not do that. I'd still buy a rhino.
I bought one of those 200DS when they were still pretty new to the market, didn't even have the typical front red pin sight.
The trigger was fricking horrible - sold it and it looks like it was the right choice.
That's the jist of it. The Mateba Unica and Chiappa Rhino both fire from the bottom cylinder, but the lockwork is so much more complicated that they combine basically all the disadvantages of autos and revolvers. It also offsets your sight picture by about an inch.
Ah, i see. What a shame.
There are a few revolvers that fire from the 6 o'clock chamber, and it does significantly reduce the muzzle rise, but it isn't enough to actually matter. It's like when you're shooting a 9mm with a compensator, it feels easier than shooting an uncomped pistol, but you're not going to see a difference in times if you shoot both on the clock. So, with the 6 o'clock barrel not actually providing an advantage, it just makes for a novelty gun that costs more to build.
recommend me one guys i want a carry wheel gun so bad
3" SP101/King Cobra/S&W 60
not a 642?
Unless you really want a hammerless 5 shot J frame that will be very snappy with .357 I'd recommend a full feature full weight gun.
642 is a .38spl. Small 357s are for morons.
Post hands cute boy
Small .357s can chamber .38spl, moron. Also you can get the 640 which is the same thing in stainless steel, the weight helps with the snappiness.
>the weight helps with the snappiness.
The weight makes it a shittier pocket gun. 38spl is plenty.
I agree on both counts, but I don't pocket carry so .38 +Ps in a .357 steel frame is great for me.
642/640 are j frames...
I realized but hey we saved the thread
Once the recoil hits you the bullet has already left the barrel. How would that affect the accuracy in any way?
>I have never shot a magnum load before
It doesn't matter if you're shooting a fricking .22 or a .45-70 BFR, the bullet leaves the barrel well before the recoil affects the position of the gun. Watch any fricking high-speed video of a handgun firing.
Is that why a 44 special and a 44 Magnum will have two completely different POI despite you holding the same POA?
Stupid no guns Black person doesn't even known basic shit like hotter loads having a higher POI. This is such an easy thing you could have read about it in 2 minutes even though you've never experienced it.
Are you fricking moronic? Barrel twists stabilize different weights/velocities differently. Shoot a 55gr then a 63gr out of your ar and they’ll have totally different points of impact.
>hotter loads having higher POI
lol
lmao
Yes, the POI shifts between fricking magnums and specials. That's not recoil fricking with your grip and causing you to be inaccurate, you absolute mongoloid.
I didn't say accuracy. They group fine, just significantly higher, that's due to recoil.
Dumb fricking Black folk.
>higher
KEK
>I said the bullet leaves the barrel before the recoil pulse
>this is because I'm a fricking moron and fundamentally can't understand why hotter loads print higher on the target
No, the bullet doesn't leave a handgun before recoil begins. The greater the recoil, the more it affect POI for a given POA
Magnums tend to hit lower than specials, anon.
You'd know this if you'd shot them with any frequency.
>lower
How's the short bus ride going today?
Why don't you tell me?
you seriously believe that the recoil pulse, which is moving the barrel upward, causes magnum loads to print lower?
this is no one's experience, not even yours because you're noguns.
>noguns
Are you blind?
Explain the mechanism that makes you believe a hotter load would print lower?
Other than your evidently shitty technique.
Higher velocity bullet leaves the barrel faster, giving less time for the barrel to rise the imperceptible amount to change the point of impact.
That, and possible the more energetic gases escaping out of the cylinder gap.
The recoil pulse of a round really begins accelerating the gun after peak pressure is reached. Peak pressure is reached when the bullet starting to engrave unless it's a very fast powder and a heavy bullet then it might happen in the chamber.
Heavier load = greater acceleration of the muzzle upwards, far more than the amount a lighter load will produce.
All of this happens long before the bullet exits the muzzle.
There's a force acting on the gun as soon as the powder ignites.
?t=17
If you go frame by frame, you can see the gun starting to shift even as the bullet is just reaching the cylinder gap. If the gun is shifting while the bullet is traveling through the barrel, the faster the bullet exits the barrel, the earlier in its rotation the gun will be.
There's also the fact that magnum loads result in much higher pressure gases escaping at the cylinder gap, meaning a greater forward force on the barrel. Whether that's enough to have a significant effect, I don't know, but it is a factor.
You are fricking high. It matters not a single bit how fast the round leaves he barrel, it will always leave it before there is any muzzle rise whatsoever
still doesn't mean a god damn thing
did you even watch the video you posted? the only direction the gun moves before the bullet leaves the barrel is straight backward, not up.
this is for the very simple reason that muzzle flip occurs because of the anatomy of the human hand and has nothing at all to do with the bullet.
not one single thing.
Anon, what you are experiencing is recoil anticipation.
>The greater the recoil, the more it affect POI for a given POA
Absolute tardation. shocking idiotic
>t. does not know what a ballistic trajectory is
can you feed yourself unassisted?
Keep the point of aim the same, use a hotter load, you will shoot higher.
Since you're so fricking morones it's difficult to understand.
>I wasn't talking about it affecting accuracy
>Once the recoil hits you the bullet has already left the barrel. How would that affect the accuracy in any way?
>>I have never shot a magnum load before
every year I use my credit card rewards to buy a gun and its that time again. thinking about getting one to go in-between these. can't decide between 4.25 inch python or 4.25 inch anaconda
Recoil begins, even with a slow fricking 357 Magnum in a 2" barrel, the moment the primer begins ignition. You can see the pulse move the barrel upwards.
At least I can afford a 1400 dollar gun unlike you apparently lmao, I'll take that
i'm gonna start packin my sp101
the hogue grips blow because they're too large and too sticky
what do i get
https://www.altamontco.com/pistol-grips/ruger/sp101
Hogue also makes wood and G10 grips.
thank you
Get some Ruger factory grips and put some cool panels in them.
https://chigsgrips.com/sp101-grip-panels/
I like the grips4u wood ones.
Yep. It's Christmas break, alright.
I'm just upset that richgay-kun is holding out on us with his 3-4 grand revolvers. I wonder if he has an MR-73 or some case hardened Smith or something.
I don't think that recoil is real.
I had trouble managing it when I was first learning to shoot pistols, but with not even 100 rounds down the range I could handle any handgun with grace. I haven't fired anything like 44 magnum or 50 AE, but I'm convinced that recoil is just a problem for women.
I'm taking the +p pill.
It's not a problem, just a reality.
The fundamentals of shooting still apply, you just might have to lower the rear sight to ensure you're not shooting top high. Consistent POA, strong grip will get you purdy groups.
I appreciate Pythonanon.
I hope he gets an Anaconda. I hope I get a 5" Python some day.
I want to see Ruger make a .350 Legend SRH, maybe with a longer barrel than the Smith to take advantage of the velocity.
Would need a longer cylinder. The longest cartridge I can fit in my RH(same cylinder and crane as SRH) is 1.810". That's flush.
I agree, Ruger should make a stretch frame Redhawk of sorts. They would *probably* need a slightly bigger diameter cylinder though for the S&W 50 calibers. 500 Linebaugh fits in a 5 shot Redhawk, but it operates at like 50,000psi max.
1.78" is RH cylinder diameter, an X Frame has 1.92" diameter, I think the BFRs are a little smaller diameter but can't confirm.
Yeah, I'm not sure why (aside from just development costs or a lack of interest) Ruger hasn't made their own X-frame of sorts. Even Taurus has the .460s and .500s.
Also, for you guys wanting a new Anaconda. Here's some motivation to reload for it:
The new cylinder is 1.909" long. That means you could load a 44 Mag cartridge at 1.969" and be flush(not a recommendation, recoil can pull bullets tying up the revolver) with the end. Bengal Bullets is already making a cast boolit for it alone.
There is such a thing now as Anaconda-only 44 Mag loads due to the length of the cylinder.
Bros I finally found a leather flap holster for my M10 and PP for a reasonable price off of Ebay. It's an old Jay-Pee. Merry Christmas to me.
