    Revolvers are far easier to point and shoot with and with rounds like .357 magnum they have a good chance of dropping your target on the first shot.

    In most situations where 5 shots are not enough 20 should wouldn't save you, while most of the outliers can be covered by carrying a reload.

      Exactly. If you get into situation which you can't solve with 5 or 6 shots, that is probably the kind of situation you won't be solving anyway, even if you had more ammo.

      How many people are you going to be fighting anyways? If there are three or more determined thugs coming at you, your chances are very slim even if you had more than 6 rounds. They would get you before you can get all of them.

      I would like to have a reload on me, but even I recognize that is more of a mental safety blanket than anything else. If you have shot six times and the situation is not over yet or you can't exit it, the situation is WAY out of your league.

            Exactly. Civillians are not cops or soldiers. I can understand having more ammo, if part of your job description is active firefights.
            But I am not a cop or soldier. I don't intend to run into situations where people are likely to shoot at me, I run away from such situations. That's the avoid-and-evade part of self-defense.

            That's how most of those self-defense situations end. A gun is pulled, shot a couple of times (usually 4 or less) and then either one of the parties is down, or disengaging. And if it's you who do the shooting, you should take the first opportunity to disengage. Don't start playing some gunslinger hero who starts to reload and tries to take on 5 armed robbers. Just get the hell out of dodge.

    Statistically 97% of any self-defense situations have been resolved (one way or the other) with shooting 4 or less shots.
    99% of situations have required no reloading whatsoever, regardless of gun type.

    6 rounds of .357mag is enough for practically all situations. What's the situation where 6 rounds of .357mag are not enough? The ones which involve rhinos or elephants or somesuch big game. Haven't seen those around here.

It was a cop talking about a gunfight he was in that was like the bob stasch one where the perp soaked up an insane number of rounds and only finally succumbed to a head shot at close range. The big difference was the cop was having to fight on after being shot in the face by the perp. His conclusion was the same as Bob's...go for head shots...

        I'm just going to say it, I don't believe this shit. Tell me the two tops were screaming their heads off and firing wildly and the dude was screaming and wildly swinging a knife and all this shit happened in the span of a couple of seconds and I'll buy it, but as he delivered the story it's just not credible. The thing in this story I believe without reservation is when he says he tried to shoot the guy in the pelvis and missed twice.

    For values of "revolver" that equal ".357 magnum." And, honestly, I carry it loaded with .38 Spl. a lot of the time and lose no sleep over it.

    There are 9- and 10-shot .22 mag options I'd be happy with, in most cases. There are 7- and 8-shot .357 mag options, too, but more difficult to carry daily.

      The LCR is going to be noticeably heavier and wider but I'd surely trust an LCR way more than any small .380. If you need something lighter, look at the LCR in 22lr or 38 +p. I'd much rather have an LCR in any caliber than a lcp max.

        I got a nu-colt and while theyre beautiful, the muzzle crown is a bitch to clean, especially shooting cast lead. I had light primer strikes occasionally and the internals got fuckulated and I had to send it in for repair. As much as I wanted to love it I would only keep it as a range gun but then you're better off with a k frame or gp100

        I suggest an SW m60 3" or sp101 3" if you're going to shoot and carry 357. Never had an issue with either but prefer the former cause its less chonk to carry.

            You're missing the point because you can't own guns so you've never had that feel of having a gun. It's not about I need it or where is safe and where isn't safe. It's like some primal shit like carrying around a burning ember of the first fire ever made and striding the Earth with it.

    I'm going to preface this saying that right now, I carry a 9mm with an extra magazine. The extra is mostly for weighing down one side of my jacket so it doesn't fly open in a gust of wind and partly to reassure my monkey brain. Realistically, I'm only going to fire 3 shots at most in an SD shooting. I've carried revolvers before and they're just fine for defense, most of the reason I'm using my 9mm is due to the particular longevity of the gun's parts, because 9mm is usually one of the cheapest centerfire rounds, and because it's what I've been training on the most (you don't fire revolvers and autos the same way).
    So yeah, I'd feel fine carrying a revolver for self defense, as long as I remember I'm carrying a revolver so I don't throw all my shots off target trying to compensate for a nonexistent slide.

    Yes. I the situations that I think I could need more I carry a larger gun. However, because I don't go to many potentially dangerous places I'm content with a 5/6/8 shot revolver. Good to have options and nothing else gets as comfy as a revolver AIWB. It's easy to get ahold of, won't jam no matter how crappy your grip is, and it's exceptionally safe to carry.

      Do it, anything under 3in in 357 is gay. I iwb mine in a tulster and carry a speed strip. First two chambers are 38 wadcutters and then it's 357 after that. Its fun as hell on the range with 38s and 357 is surprisingly tolerable even with the stock grip.

      Used to carry a 3in sp101 but they're chonky and switched to colt king cobra but they have a design flaw with the hammer spring that I had to send in and promptly sell. SW has the stupid hole but its by far better than anything else I tried.

          I think the redesign isn't as sturdy or maybe the metallurgy sucks but the hammer would only go about half way back in SA or DA. I like wheelgats cause if you get a misfire you just pull the trigger again but that kind of fuck up on the range has forever tarnished my reputation of nu-colt, especially given how expensive they are. Wasn't fond of the reset too which is a shame cause yeah its similar in size to sp101 but holds 6 rounds. I got a stainless gp100 with a 4.2 inch barrel and a couple hundred bucks of beer in its place and am way happier with it.

          Only ever shot a 6" security six, .357 Magnum out of that is negligable but out of a 3" I'll likely have to practice considering the kick might be higher

          Practice with lots of dry fire and 38s and a handful of 357. I like to randomly mix em in the cylinder to keep my steady in check.

            Sounds like a timing issue. Having not held them or taken them apart like I have Rugers, I can't say. If it was a Ruger having that problem I'd say it was the hammer dog not "handing off" the trigger to the DA sear correctly.
            I think Colts only use the top of the trigger sear and the "hammer dog" rides on top all through the pull, so it couldn't have been there.

    I carry a fully-loaded 6-shot .357 magnum and 2 fully-loaded speed loaders.
    It's my winter carry. The only time of year I can conceal it. I'd open carry it if my state wasn't retarded.
    I love that revolver. Ruger Security Six. Made in the 80s, and has a damaged crown, but it still hits true, and spits mighty fire with every pull of the trigger.

    My subcompact semiauto carries 7 rounds of 9mm.
    My snub nosed revolver carries 5 rounds of 357.
    Two more 9mm versus the greater power of a 357, which I'd call a wash.
    Revolver is more reliable, and my 9 has definitely failed on me before.
    >But you can reload the 9 faster
    It's true, but the more I'm positive I'm going to need to carry extra ammo the more likely I am to just not fucking go to whatever place or situation I'm considering. If it's worth throwing extra magazines into your pocket because you think you'll need them, it's worth taking an AR, a bunch of 30 round mags, a full sized sidearm, and several similarly armed friends. It's not really a consideration.
    The question isn't so much "which gun to carry" it's "do I carry or not?" For EDC literally anything is better than nothing, so carry whatever the fuck you feel like that is concealeable and shoots a decent caliber.

    You know, I've carried a 5 shot J frame for years...but I must say, switching to a Kimber K6xs for an extra round...really makes me feel better.

    Regardless of if it's 5 or 6, the idea of shooting a threat twice and deterring other attackers via the potential for getting at least two or three shots themselves, is what causes criminals to stop or run.

    Honestly, I don't understand how some people seriously carry single or two shot derringers in 2023.

    If you shoot once, your basically screwed, because there is a chance, they might rush you.

        At the time, the state required defendants to prove they were acting in self defense. The defense attorney took the approach of equivalent force was used due to the dogs rushing Fish. The Jury was not convinced, but the judge was also a duck and barred a bunch of evidence against the aggressor being used.

        The state law later changed to requiring proof the defendant was not acting in self defense beyond a reasonable doubt. That changes everything regarding round caliber used vs force needed.

    In any reasonably likely defense situation, 5 shots will generally get the job done. Not that you shouldn't use higher capacity weapons, you absolutely should keep guns with as many rounds as possible, but generally speaking you aren't going to be completely fucked if you don't have enough ammo to kill 4 dozen joggers

      I wouldn’t worry overmuch about over penetration out of a snub nose revolver. It’s unlikely your round is going to develop that much velocity.

      And even if it does, after traversing a human torso it’s going to lose rather a lot of energy and momentum.

      So yeah…it hits a dude that may be behind the target dude, but what’s it going to do?

      It’s unlikely that the second dude is going to be chest to back of the guy in front of him, (unless they are being intimate, and that activity would rather preclude threatening you), so he’ll get a bruise.

      The likely fact is is that if he as close enough to be hit with your round, he was likely involved in the threatening activity also, which makes your “overpenetrating” shot a “twofer”. Scores double points and a power up bonus.

    This is me shooting as fast as I can from draw at 7 yards with my 642. I’m working with a 13 plus pound trigger that has a horrible stiff break right before the hammer drops. Going to get a Wilson combat spring kit installed and do a lot of dry firing with snap caps to smooth it out. I also need to paint the front sight so I can see where the hell I’m aiming.

    But, for a 36 year old boomer with an astigmatism and my first time shooting this specific revolver I can still rapid fire and put 5 rounds between your eyes at 21 feet. I’d say that’s plenty effective as a defensive firearm.

    I always have my 642 on me, but sometimes I carry a Glock 19 as well, which I’m confident with out to 100 yards. The point is you have to practice and get good with your firearms. A j frame is a pretty bad choice for an amateur that can’t hit the broad side of a barn with a full sized 9mm.

        Probably half second splits. Takes awhile to recover from recoil and stage the trigger again. So more than fast enough for a bill drill and less than fist sized groups. Aim was off a bit cause I couldn’t see a decent sight picture.. but as long as you have good fundamentals you’ll put rounds where they count.

              Snubs are not target guns. They are fighting guns and if you're carrying one for defense you need to practice that way. Also You can shoot DAO at long range without staging(but why would you ever need that?). Years back my father and I shot 50rds each from DAO j-frames at B27s @100yds. We counted anything in the black and both scored in the mid 30s.

              Yeah that's staging and it's bad technique for a fighting gun. You are 100% going to do that shit live if that's how you practice rapid fire. You need to get some snap caps and get to work with your dryfire. It don't take much. Do like 15mins 2-3 times a week religiously at the minimum. Keep the sights aligned all the way through the pull. Firm grip. Build up those muscles.

If you can't do ti it's not because it can't be done it's just because you can't do it. All it takes is work. No one is saying "slap the trigger" either you enormus homosexual.

              More like 8 and I wish I was the kind of fag to have video of how fast I go. That pic I posted of my targets the right one was 50rds as fast as I can pull the trigger. Everyone of them would have been in someone's face.
