I've carried a whole bunch of different revolvers including a Ruger sp101 and a S&W 629 as well as a bunch in between.
My take, the 686 6" with nil-grips is the best looking, picture related but the best to carry is the 3" model 60. The 3" model 60 is only 5 shots but the small cylinder makes it way comfier to carry and it carries in the waist band about like a Glock 48 while the 3" barrel is enough to retain most of the power of a .357mag.
Then carry that. I carry all of them depending on activity and mood.
I really like the K frame size, not sure why they can't style the L frame with a half lug barrel and target grips.
Model 66 is a favorite of mine, but I own mostly Rugers.
.38sp
I probably shoulda gotten the .357mag version since it's a bit heavier but I don't really regret it either. I tend to forget it's even in my pocket.
Thanks anon. It's actually my daily carry right now. Since it's pretty small, hammerless, and has a grip safety I can just throw it in my pocket and not have to worry at all. Yeah .38 S&W isn't the most powerful round but any gun is better than no gun.
>and has a grip safety
I like how the same generation that didn't even know what trigger and muzzle discipline was insisted on having a safety on top of a long 12 lb trigger
It’s legitimately one of my favorites lately. The entire gun is rough, the best way I can describe it is an Ak. Rough finish, trigger is gritty until you open it up and clean up all the gunk that it ships coated in. Came with a set of plastic grips as well which are more comfortable. Just adds more girth to it. QC I’ve heard is pretty hit or miss though, so I’d definitely get hands on and give it a real good once over before buying, check timing etc. 301 rounds through mine without a single hiccup. Steel frame makes shooting .38 extra comfy
i heard ria was sketchy but a 38 like yours sounds fun. might have to check one out

Not him, but I would recommend it. I got the 4" version, and it doesn't come with any wood grips, but I have stupid hands and the plastic grips fit fine, though it does slap my pinkie finger around some during longer strings of fire. Might get those Browne Works wood grips, or maybe a set of Pachmayr grips, if I can find ones that fit 'em.
The color is matte, pretty common on guns. The grips are walnut and came straight from the factory when I bought it brand new. Most carry revolvers will come with textured rubber grips though
My area has had a string of armed carjackings of multiple suspects, a man the other day held up a teen at gunpoint who was trying to break into his car and then was shot by the teen’s other accomplices he didn’t realize. I legitimately believe a 5 shot will be under gunned, I want every advantage I can get.
Not gonna change your mind but heres my 2¢ on this: in every shooting video I've ever seen where there are multiple attackers, all of the attackers turn and run the moment the victim pulls the trigger the first time. Further, if five attackers pull up on you and one or more of them have guns, you may be unable to determine who does and doesn't have a gun, which means at least one of them already has the drop on you, so no matter how big your mag capacity is you're already fucked.
That said, even though I carry a snub in the summer, I've handled& shot p365's and Shields, and I really like them both. I'm planning on gettig a Shield 2.0 in 45acp since I already have a metric fuckton of 45acp ammo stored up from my winter carry.

>in every shooting video I've ever seen where there are multiple attackers, all of the attackers turn and run the moment the victim pulls the trigger the first time
NTA but I've seen a couple of videos involving multiple assailants where they've turned and run once the shooting started but they ran to cover first before running away. If the victim had stopped firing at them after 5 shots I can very easily picture them changing their mind and returning. I've also seen a couple where "downed" assailants have remained a threat after being hit multiple times, say you panic and miss a couple of times then 3 rounds might not be enough to end the threat quickly enough to stop him firing back before he bleeds out.
I've seen one video recently with both. >Victim approached by two assailants in the street >Drew his gun and dropped one of them, looked like a couple of shots but not sure if both hit. >The second assailant began running, initially for cover behind a car then down the street, while the victim fired several rounds towards him >First assailant then moved or reached for his gun, forcing the would-be victim to turn and plug him a couple more times.
A revolver wouldn't have been enough in that scenario.
That said, 9/10 times a revolver will be enough. If it feels easier for you to carry comfortably and that means you're more likely to have it on you when you need it then so be it.
>carry comfortably and that means you're more likely to have it on you
This is the most important thing. People on this board shit on each other relentlessly for consumerist decisions that ultimately are made on aesthetic grounds anyways. We all like guns here, why can't we all get along

Post gun and maybe I'll consider giving your thread back.
Why is it that everyone except you doesn't carry a gun, won't draw & fire, most certainly won't fight back when someone does anything? This whole "Dey'll jus scatter like turkish people yeeup!" thing is proven wrong by answering a simple set of questions, What would I do if someone pulled a gun on me? What would I do if someone attacked me or shot at me? What would I do if someone hurt or killed whoever I was with? That's just asking about injury & death, not even stealing or trespassing but if your answer to those questions was to run away, maybe you should leave the gun at home & buy a gym membership so you can work on your cardio.
>What would I do if someone pulled a gun on me? What would I do if someone attacked me or shot at me? What would I do if someone hurt or killed whoever I was with?
I think you're missing my whole premise - I'm only pulling a gun on somebody who is committing a crime againat me with a weapon. Somebody in the midst of committing a crime with a weapon is most likely going to run when they realize their target is armed. Again, go watch some security cam footage, graduate high school, then come back

>Somebody is most likely to run when they realize their target is armed >I'm most likely to run when my threat is armed
Again, how come threats are the only people who run but never shoot, fight, or do anything other than just run away? Why is it that the good guy (you) is the only one who fights?
Security cam videos can be good just to see crime in general but they're situations that've already happened & ended watched from a 3rd person view where you can pause it, rewind it, fast forward it, end it, & they're usually reviewed by someone who is injects his experiences into it & is always looking for anything that could make it justified / not justified. You can't do any of that in real life as crime happens to you so you should probably stop acting like what happens on your screen is what's gonna happen in real life.

Not him but it's called PATTERN RECOGNITION, bozo. If there's studies that show that out of 40,000 defensive shootings, only one involved needing more than 5 rounds, then statistically you're pretty okay carrying a 5 shot revolver, on an already very improbable situation where you need to shoot someone to begin with. I'm sure there's videos out there showing that at least one situation a guy would have been way better off carrying a bullet proof vest. Are you carrying a bullet proof vest day in day out? After all, you need every advantage you can get right? Start looking into carrying a slinged AR pistol under a coat as well.

If this was the 70s or earlier where a semi auto was expensive, didn't offer that much capacity over a revolver, it makes perfect sense to go with revolvers but what about today, 2023? Pistols that hold way more than 5-6 are reliable, affordable, have a great aftermarket including holsters, & are recommended by everyone except retards who can't just say, "I like these because they're cool".
There is no downside to taking a spare magazine & putting in your pocket before you leave your house, just like there is no downside to buying a modern pistol rather than something from the stone age. I'll give it to you that small revolvers as well as small pistols work very well when carrying without a holster in a place where you can't be seen carrying a gun, true deep concealment type stuff.
The funny part about your "le AR body armor carry" spiel, Fudd, is that if everyone started doing that, you would be more outgunned than you already are but please, fire back with another response about how nobody but you carries a gun, nobody but you fights to defend themselves or to commit crimes against anyone, & how nobody needs one-o-them high capacity assault pistols lol

I live in a shitty area where violent crime is common and 5 shots of 38 from a gun that's relatively hard to aim isn't sufficient. I carried a Jframe for years until Catholic social services resettled droves of somalis and south Americans in my city and it all went to shit.
Catholic social services resettles somalis in colder climates, for whatever reason. In the last year they've resettled close to 400,000 refugees across the US with the majority in the northern climes. And the majority of those refugees being from northern/eastern Africa.
Everyone wants to blame the israelites but it's been the Catholics working to erode national identity for some time.
No, I mean ive stopped two home invasions the last year and a half. My bike got stolen, a man got stabbed to death in the street a block from my house and a bunch of other shit. You sound like a prissy suburban bitch.
Yes, we were supposed to move to a different city a few months back but plans fell through. Thankfully there are a handful of people in my area that look out for each other and we've been able to deter most bullshit.
This post can only come by either white sheltered plebbitor hands. Who have had the fortune of living in a nice white area and think race is only skin deep (like the media tells him) so other areas shouldn't be any different than his. Or by brown hands who are in self delusion because of their low IQ and inability to understand statistics and numbers.
Somalis go to Chiraq and other libtard hell holes. Shit really fell there.
Yes. Also pitbulls that attack me and my white man's dog.

>Anon scratches at the surface, /misc/trash comes rushing out
>Anon experiences his neighborhood becoming rougher >Stop noticing things! That's /misc/!
Where do you fucking tourist trash come from and why aren't you in a Ukraine/Israel thread? I've seen more and more people sleeping out in the broad daylight in public parks and even found needles nearby a soccer field used by a lot of kids.
Yep, it's finally happening to small towns. This already happened in the cities during the 60s and 70s, Dirty Harry has a pretty good depiction of how filthy and horrible SF was back then if you focus on the background.
The problem is that the people living in echo chambers think its just racists complaining when the issue is drug based criminal activity. The Somalis mentioned go where the drug markets are as their job prospects are slim in a country they never should have been imported to but all the NPR listeners care about is race and shut down immediately when its not white kkk drug dealers terrorizing a prosperous black town.
>Catholic social services resettled droves of somalis and south Americans in my city
I really struggle to understand why they do this. These people are never going to fully intergrate, and they inevitably commit fuck tons of crime. I just don't get it man.
It's because Catholics and Protestants are both organized groups of sheep incapable of thinking three steps down the road; generally incapable of critical thinking at all >"these black africans one generation removed from mudhut tribesmen are just like me because they were converted into a bastardized version of my religion!"
And now we've all seen how that goes. >t. lifelong Catholic
You can keep it to yourself, but Protestant German, Swiss, and English populations in the US are easily the furthest right based on surveys and voting.
Catholics in the US, even the same ethnys, only make it to left of center at most.
Probably representative of the genetic difference of those willing to rebel against authority, once in the reformation and again in the US revolution.
I don't recall Lutherans working with NGOs to import shitskins into the local towns. I do recall mission work and aid being sent to those nations.

Same, not crazy about the new Catachism published this year.
Go study theology protestantism is a joke. Oriental Orthodoxy or Catholic Faith is the true Christian way. I converted from Conservative judaism lmao an even more iconoclast religion than any protestants. Also telling someone to kill themselves even ironically is a sin
Catholics are charitable to a fault, a fault only corrected by years of study and meditation. Only then is proper wisdom/judgement revealed to him. Catholicism is a religion best practiced by military men, historians, and scientists. Truly the autistic man's religion. >t. lifelong Catholic
A good chunk of the Christian-led refugee resettlement push is driven by clueless white women who think that Jesus said we need to be suicidally selfless doormats and that someone being a Christian means they share all your values and can integrate.
yeah its basically the prototype for the model 19 carry comp. 3 inch barrel, tapered cylinder, overtravel trigger stop, pc action job. differs in that its magnaported instead of the single barrel compensator and the bobbed hammer. love this little guy
For me? It's gotta be a 10 shot compact revolver chambered in a .32 caliber magnum cartridge based on the .32 ACP. Like a .327, but optimized for self defense.
heh. same vein as >Ive had guns all my life and everyone needs one, been hunting since i was 4 years old guns are great. BUT ASSAULT RIFLES LET ME TELL YOU
I really don't understand why when they have the ultimate argument of "My gun never jams". I thought that was the entire selling point of carrying a revolver over an auto
we're kind of in a bad spot where a few autistic loudmouths are constantly making threads and posts trying to convince people that revolvers aren't just relevant, but superior to everything else, and it puts everything in a bad light. kind of wish they'd just fuck off, but as they've repeatedly proven, they live online.
Revolvers only need to be justified with these >I like it >it’s comfortable, light, and I’m comfortable with it >it does not rely on recoil to cycle the action and can be fired as long as the cylinder can rotate
If a 8-10 shot .38 or .32 revolver wasn’t fuck huge you’d be carrying that over a 6 shooter, I don’t think the 5-6 shot is all you need argument is good but if your problem couldn’t be fixed with 5 well placed shots I don’t think 10 will. But arguing that falls into the same category as gun grabber arguments and IMO all the stats are flawed and that active self protection guy is a fatass
>and that active self protection guy is a fatass

His feet are disgusting so he’s not even simpable anymore
If you watch cop shootings they reload multiple times, cops are the people who go to toe to toe with these criminals. Why shouldn’t you expect and prepare for the worst? Not saying revolvers are bad they have some advantages for carry, in comparison to a Glock you don’t even need a hard kydex holster to protect the trigger, can’t be forced out of battery. Important if you watched shootings where there is grappling
because he's an annoying retard who posts crying cheems pics half the time, and the rest of the time he's doing dumbass shit like this or pissing off people that he needs help from like the resident broomhandle expert when he was sobbing for advice on fixing it while simultaneously calling them stupid.

To be fair, neither does that muscle bound NAVY seal jock from GBRS group. He only carries a G19 without a reload or a weapon mounted light. It seems all people who actually know how shit goes down, either from autistically studying or actually having been in combat, they're okay with one loaded pistol in their waistband. Either way, most standard compact polymer framed guns nowadays carry 15 rounds of quality 9mm.

All I need to justify me taking a 686 over an M&P 2.0 are 2 very simple things, 357 makes my pp hard and I'm a better shot with the 686. If I could get an autoloader with a similar trigger I'd carry that instead
I'm in the market for a 9x19 but none of the nearby stores have one in stock so I'm debating whether or not I want to order it from guns.com or just get a .38
9mm feels like a waste if it's the sole caliber it chambers. Often it's a gun that can handle 357 Mag, why not get that and practice with 38's?
You can always have the cylinder machined for moon clips if you really want 9mm.
>. Often it's a gun that can handle 357 Mag, why not get that and practice with 38's?
because I am in the market for a 9x19mm revolver. Not a .357, or .38. I'll compromise if I can't get my hands on the 9, but that's not my first choice.
Moonclips are a pain in the ass and my 5 shot LCR 9mm was the same size as my 12 shot S&W CSX which has less recoil
The issue is that they rechamber .357s to 9mm, meaning you have the length of the .357 of a chamber. You could make a 9mm revolver be overall shorter with the same barrel length as a .38 special revolver since the chamber doesn’t need to be as long. You could also design a chamber/ejector that doesn’t need moonclips to hold the rimless cases.
Only one revolver I know does the chamber thing and it’s the Korth Skymarshall that’s completely unobtainium. Charter Arms makes several rimless revolvers using a proprietary spring loaded ejector that grabs the rimless cases but they’re always out of stock. I always wanted the .45 ACP one
It’s standard pressure 38. Also the FBI used to use overloaded 38sp comparable to P+ on their police positives https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54dc6b0be4b0d364a5ee20e0/t/54f81af2e4b0d7e31eb5e6bc/1425545970532/colt+keith+bullet.pdf
If there were revolvers with decockers, I'd get one instantly.
I have been thinking of getting a .22 DAO revolver with three finger grip for conceal carry provided the barrel can manage modern defense .22 rounds.
I almost had a retard moment a couple weeks ago. I just came back from a gas station and industrial area so I had the colt loaded.
I often dry fire when back home so I reflectively cocked it and pointed it at my rental wall. A second later I quickly realize it’s armed and I decock and empty, horrified at how dumb I was.

My protocol for dry fire is a lot more stringent these days. Typically I won't be in a room with ammo and I double/ triple check everything. I'll also verbally (out loud) tell myself "no more dryfire" when I'm finished.

I was fucking around with my loaded one day. Was just cocking and decocking (with a decocker) and for whatever reason I pulled the trigger. It was a weird neuropathic response. I knew I fucked up because I vividly remember looking over immediately as I pulled the trigger. the image of the gun mid cycle is seared into my brain. Train yourself to check the condition of your weapon every time you pick it up.
Any revolver with a trigger block including bc antique nagant and police positives will only fire if you’re holding on to the trigger let go of the trigger not the hammer and it can’t fire even if the hammer slips
I carry a DA/SA revolver every now and again. Mainly when going into the city. I enjoy using my Single Actions but dont use them as a serious carry gun.
I mostly just carry my 255gr HC 45 super 1911s. I dont trust the 357 180gr HC to work against grizz unless its out of my rifle.

>The shots were slightly delayed because the revolver was a single action
>The bear charged him. His first shot was from about 5 feet, into the chest. The bear grabbed him by the leg and threw him, then picked him up again. Ben missed a shot, the managed to get a shot into the bear’s stomach. The bear dropped him, then grabbed him by the head, shook him, and dropped him again. He shoved the pistol and both hands into the bears mouth, and fired.
>The bear moved back, shook its head, took a swipe at Ben with its paw, leaving a sliver of claw through Ben’s thumb.
>Then it walked off. The attack was finished.
Just because it can eventually kill a bear, or may eventually work doesnt stop the bear from fucking you up. 357 MAY work out of a revolver. But it will absolutely work out of a rifle and there are better handguns to use.
Snubs are great for your typical edc. You know where you're going to be throughout the day, you're in a low threat environment, etc. Snubs are really good as a defensive tool when things get close and obtaining a perfect draw may not be possible. It also carries like nothing else because of its shape and weight.
On the days where you might want a bit more capacity, you might as well skip the slim 9s and carry a proper doublestack pistol. Simple as.
I retired my J-frame two days ago when an anon thoroughly defeated my arguments for carrying a revolver. I immediately went out to my LGS and bought a 43x. I kneel to the modern micro 9.

Damn fellas debate club time. I have a .38spl that's great for carry, super comfy and concealable, but I'm feeling like I need more capacity. Either talk me into getting a g27/g30 OR keeping my snubnose. >inb4 stupid calibers
don't care
so most self defense shootings are over in like 3 shots or less, you gotta consider also that you still need to then actually get into a self defense shooting scenario... which I believe might still be equal to getting struck by lightning
I really like these
https://i.imgur.com/RKKsTEW.jpg
I'd rather launch 8 rounds of .357 in a fiery blast out of my 8 shot snub nose.
but I have a S&W Bodyguard .38spl +P that I really like. I'm considering getting a frame clip and one of those kydex covers that clips onto the trigger guard to keep it safe, and you strip it off or attach it via little lanyard to your pants so it pops off while you draw.
All the same reasons I got a .38 in the first place. I have a clip draw clip on mine and I don't even bother with a trigger guard because there's no way in hell my dick can accidentally pull that trigger. Highly recommend the clip though, it's as concealable as a gun can possibly be.
I worry less about myself and more about some freak accident bullshit where something catches the trigger through my pants or while I holster
it's just a peace-of-mind thing.. I always think of that video of the guy who has his gun IWB at 12 oclock and he goes to bend over and it goes off, not when he holsters, not when he's fucking with it prior, like 5 seconds later after he crouches down.. but I'm pretty sure it was some shit holster + custom glock trigger cause idk how you do that
If it's the video I'm thinking of, (he's in a store of some kind and a woman rushes over to administer first aid) he literally had a dick piercing that got caught on his dumbass hair-trigger, lmao

LMAO yeah that's it
like I doubt even my G17 would ever go off raw dogging it in my waist band but I still wouldn't want to do it, it's weird to have the trigger naked to the world with one in the tube to me, I think it's just entirely a personal thing I my part
But op, I do carry a revolver
Its my usual carry unless I go to the city. Then I carry a semi auto.
If Im just hanging out on the property, I carry a single action army.
The honest to god real reason is in all of my nightmares where I'm trying to pull the trigger on a gun but I can't because dream weakness, it's always a revolver. Dream me doesn't trust them so neither do I.
I have the 1000lb trigger dreaam to but what's weird is my dream weapons always fail me. Sword? Bends like a piece of ribbon steel the moment i swing it. Bat? Shatters on impact. Knife? Literally turns to rubber. Only my hands never fail me in my dreams
Never had the backseat one but definitely had plenty of driving dreams where fucked up GTA driving physics take over and when I brake the car just yeets itself 200 feet in the air
The backseat out of control one is my most common nightmare. The one I always remember when I wake up. For some reason, the driver is passed out or I'm just in the backseat while the car is driving, I've got to drive the car while it's in motion. I can barely reach the steering wheel and I can't reach the pedals and I'm stretching and trying as hard as I can but the car is out of control. I feel like it's because as far as I can remember, all my closest brushes with death or traumatic experiences were car wrecks, two as passenger and two as driver.
A roller coaster into an abyss I could handle. The part that gets me is I feel like I can save myself if I really fight, where it's life or death and if I summon the full measure of my will I will overcome death himself and live on and yet somehow in all these dreams not once have I ever crashed nor successfully recovered control of the vehicle, I always wake up in the middle.
Huh, I factually started having this exact same dream. Car is in motion, need to turn or brake but somehow I am sitting behind the driver seat.
No car trauma here, but I guess my work puts me working with accidents a lot.
I think it's a mind metaphor, though, like the car is just a vehicle to impair loss or lack of control.
because I live in an utterly cucked country.
if our laws were good, chances are I might go for a revolver, simply because of the number of bodycam vids where the pistol malfunctions in creatively terrible ways
I recently had a dream where the gun worked perfectly. big repeating airgun with 600 joules of energy as I was told in the dream. shot one attacker, chambered the next pellet, dropped another. then just kept going about my day, because the event happened on a visit to the US, where in perfect dream logic, a clear self defense doesn't require notifying the police and you can just walk around town with a huge air rifle at the ready because it's not a firearm
The honest to god real reason is in all of my nightmares where I'm trying to pull the trigger on a gun but I can't because dream weakness, it's always a revolver. Dream me doesn't trust them so neither do I.
an underlying feeling of powerlessness and feel you're unable to fight back/change some shit. some shit in your life that is making this. sort it out and it will change.
there's nothing freudian about that analysis at all and freudian dream analysis is generally ignored these days. but whatever, if you don't want any help continue to be an impotent homosexual all your life, sounds like it's exactly what you deserve nagger.
Oh no I'm absolutely aware it represents powerlessness, not in my life specifically, but rather the world. The car is society/humanity and I'm afraid we're collectively asleep at the wheel.
I only have single sction cowboy revolvers, and as much as Id love to be able to have a big iron on my hip as a viable option for defense..its not going to cut it. I mean, 45lc will definately fuck someone up but I need something that will put lead downrange fast with quick follow up and is able to be reloaded quickly.
Id consider carrying one if I had a modern one wth moon clips but still, ammo capacity will always be the killer of revolver fudds. They are 100% more fun than most semi autos though.
Those are some ugly grips.
Went with plain walnut for mine then stripped and sanded before refininshing with linseed oil.
Just picked up a .45 ACP cylinder as well and it timed perfectly right out of the box.
Meh, its what it came with, and it was a gift so I wont complain. The camera makes it look a bit more rancid in color than what they are.
Im thinking about getting one of their new 9mm 1873s
While I'm inclined to agree with you, the width of the cylinder is the number 1 thing that makes a revolver uncomfortable to carry, followed by the grip angle, followed by an excessively long barrel.
Only 5 shot revolvers in .357mag or smaller calibers are comfy to carry, at least IWB.
You know in The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly. That scene where Tuco goes and "buys" and revolver? And he field strips a few revolvers, and starts mixing and matching parts between them.
Not generally.
There's a handful of fitted, mated parts on revolvers required for timing.
The ratchet, hand(pawl), trigger sear, hammer sear, double action sear(hammer dog), are all fitted parts.
The cylinder latch isn't really a fitted part, but it does affect how you shape the pawl in order to ensure the cylinder begins to rotate while the cylinder latch is disengaged. Too short a pawl and the latch reengages into a stop notch, too long and the pawl tries rotating while the latch never disengaged.

It looked cool and you saw it in a movie? Then, probably no. Cool movie shit and real life hardly ever meet.
Also wworryig about reolad times is retarded and defeats the purpose of carrying a revolver. You carry a revolver because you don't think you're gonna need more than 6. If you think you're gonna need more than 6, get an autoloader
Anybody carry these? Just watched a video on it. Looks like a better option than Speed Strips or Speed Loaders. Pricey. $50 a piece. Only takes 38/357 for now.
Kimber is pretty universally hated and snub nose magnums are at best controversial. I'm also not personally a fan of DAO revolvers. I guess aside from that, you can actually pocket carry that one and I know it looks better in person than it does in that picture. My preference is that it would be better with a 3 or 4" barrel, an exposed hammer and carried in the waste band.
I'm not sure what all you fags do with your pockets. One of my front pockets has keys, the other a pocket knife and cellphone. Are you all pocket carrying in the same pocket as your keys?
>what am I in for
Gimped magnum power and shitty groups
Would love one of these. After carrying a lightweight 38 snub, I’m on board for all steel. As far as ammo, you can probably get some decent prices at big box stores for Hornady FTX. I’ve found some great practice ammo at Bass Pro that’s really Winchester reboxed as a house brand. As far as “the Best .357 ammo” I’d check out Lucky Gunner’s YouTube channel and Tools & Targets YouTube channel. The Tools & Targets guy does a ton of ballistic gel tests of all calibers.
To answer that question for you, based on my research Buffalo Bore 125 grain low flash seems to work the best alongside Barnes 125 Tac PD in terms of penetration and expansion, hitting that goldilocks depth of 14-16". Personally I carry Buffalo Bore 125gr 357 Item 19D for that extra oomph (plus it's 10 bucks cheaper) but I'd imagine it'd be miserable to use in a snub, it's got quite a kick from my 4" 686. I haven't tried underwood's offerings yet but that a lot of people swear by them and they seem pretty good especially for the price
i would rather carry a P365 or G19
why
you are not cool
more capacity and better ballistics with no difficulty on recoil
I've carried a whole bunch of different revolvers including a Ruger sp101 and a S&W 629 as well as a bunch in between.
My take, the 686 6" with nil-grips is the best looking, picture related but the best to carry is the 3" model 60. The 3" model 60 is only 5 shots but the small cylinder makes it way comfier to carry and it carries in the waist band about like a Glock 48 while the 3" barrel is enough to retain most of the power of a .357mag.
Then carry that. I carry all of them depending on activity and mood.
I find 686's to be among the ugliest that Smith makes.
Agreed, definitely the ugly bastard of Smith's lineup and would absolutely rape someone if it could
I really like the K frame size, not sure why they can't style the L frame with a half lug barrel and target grips.
Model 66 is a favorite of mine, but I own mostly Rugers.
I carry a Ruger LCR.
what calibreh
.38sp
I probably shoulda gotten the .357mag version since it's a bit heavier but I don't really regret it either. I tend to forget it's even in my pocket.
22LR for me loaded with federal punch
I wouldn't hesitate to carry that combo. kinda like the idea for light carry.
.327 fed mag chad checking in.
I am though
That thing is awesome anon !
Keep carrying the fire.
holy fuck, what a gun. im gonna cum
Thanks anon. It's actually my daily carry right now. Since it's pretty small, hammerless, and has a grip safety I can just throw it in my pocket and not have to worry at all. Yeah .38 S&W isn't the most powerful round but any gun is better than no gun.
>and has a grip safety
I like how the same generation that didn't even know what trigger and muzzle discipline was insisted on having a safety on top of a long 12 lb trigger
>reddit and 9gag discipline
I do. Sometimes.
I almost got one of these once. How do you like shooting it?
It’s legitimately one of my favorites lately. The entire gun is rough, the best way I can describe it is an Ak. Rough finish, trigger is gritty until you open it up and clean up all the gunk that it ships coated in. Came with a set of plastic grips as well which are more comfortable. Just adds more girth to it. QC I’ve heard is pretty hit or miss though, so I’d definitely get hands on and give it a real good once over before buying, check timing etc. 301 rounds through mine without a single hiccup. Steel frame makes shooting .38 extra comfy
nice piece, is that hammer exposed or whats going on there
I got the bobbed hammer model. They just lop the hammer off a standard m206 and make it DAO
i heard ria was sketchy but a 38 like yours sounds fun. might have to check one out
Not him, but I would recommend it. I got the 4" version, and it doesn't come with any wood grips, but I have stupid hands and the plastic grips fit fine, though it does slap my pinkie finger around some during longer strings of fire. Might get those Browne Works wood grips, or maybe a set of Pachmayr grips, if I can find ones that fit 'em.
I am, dipshit. But considering you posted a stock photo an not your own gun, you clearly aren't. This is my thread now.
I like the color of your revolver (metal and handle). I'm pretty new to guns, is this custom or common with a brand?
The color is matte, pretty common on guns. The grips are walnut and came straight from the factory when I bought it brand new. Most carry revolvers will come with textured rubber grips though
>new to guns
Leave now before your wallet hates you lol
This is an expensive hobby, be forewarned!

I'm in my jammies.
My area has had a string of armed carjackings of multiple suspects, a man the other day held up a teen at gunpoint who was trying to break into his car and then was shot by the teen’s other accomplices he didn’t realize. I legitimately believe a 5 shot will be under gunned, I want every advantage I can get.
5 shot or 50 shots wont matter if you get ambushed like that fella
Not gonna change your mind but heres my 2¢ on this: in every shooting video I've ever seen where there are multiple attackers, all of the attackers turn and run the moment the victim pulls the trigger the first time. Further, if five attackers pull up on you and one or more of them have guns, you may be unable to determine who does and doesn't have a gun, which means at least one of them already has the drop on you, so no matter how big your mag capacity is you're already fucked.
That said, even though I carry a snub in the summer, I've handled& shot p365's and Shields, and I really like them both. I'm planning on gettig a Shield 2.0 in 45acp since I already have a metric fuckton of 45acp ammo stored up from my winter carry.
Post gun and maybe I'll consider giving your thread back.
>in every shooting video I've ever seen where there are multiple attackers, all of the attackers turn and run the moment the victim pulls the trigger the first time
NTA but I've seen a couple of videos involving multiple assailants where they've turned and run once the shooting started but they ran to cover first before running away. If the victim had stopped firing at them after 5 shots I can very easily picture them changing their mind and returning. I've also seen a couple where "downed" assailants have remained a threat after being hit multiple times, say you panic and miss a couple of times then 3 rounds might not be enough to end the threat quickly enough to stop him firing back before he bleeds out.
I've seen one video recently with both. >Victim approached by two assailants in the street
>Drew his gun and dropped one of them, looked like a couple of shots but not sure if both hit.
>The second assailant began running, initially for cover behind a car then down the street, while the victim fired several rounds towards him
>First assailant then moved or reached for his gun, forcing the would-be victim to turn and plug him a couple more times.
A revolver wouldn't have been enough in that scenario.
That said, 9/10 times a revolver will be enough. If it feels easier for you to carry comfortably and that means you're more likely to have it on you when you need it then so be it.
>carry comfortably and that means you're more likely to have it on you
This is the most important thing. People on this board shit on each other relentlessly for consumerist decisions that ultimately are made on aesthetic grounds anyways. We all like guns here, why can't we all get along
>If the victim had stopped firing at them after 5 shots I can very easily picture

Now see this is John Wick-fueled LARP fantasy. You're switching the facts in your head to convince yourself you need to carry 75rds like the chode in the other thread

Why is it that everyone except you doesn't carry a gun, won't draw & fire, most certainly won't fight back when someone does anything? This whole "Dey'll jus scatter like turkish people yeeup!" thing is proven wrong by answering a simple set of questions, What would I do if someone pulled a gun on me? What would I do if someone attacked me or shot at me? What would I do if someone hurt or killed whoever I was with? That's just asking about injury & death, not even stealing or trespassing but if your answer to those questions was to run away, maybe you should leave the gun at home & buy a gym membership so you can work on your cardio.
>What would I do if someone pulled a gun on me? What would I do if someone attacked me or shot at me? What would I do if someone hurt or killed whoever I was with?
I think you're missing my whole premise - I'm only pulling a gun on somebody who is committing a crime againat me with a weapon. Somebody in the midst of committing a crime with a weapon is most likely going to run when they realize their target is armed. Again, go watch some security cam footage, graduate high school, then come back
>Somebody is most likely to run when they realize their target is armed
>I'm most likely to run when my threat is armed
Again, how come threats are the only people who run but never shoot, fight, or do anything other than just run away? Why is it that the good guy (you) is the only one who fights?
Security cam videos can be good just to see crime in general but they're situations that've already happened & ended watched from a 3rd person view where you can pause it, rewind it, fast forward it, end it, & they're usually reviewed by someone who is injects his experiences into it & is always looking for anything that could make it justified / not justified. You can't do any of that in real life as crime happens to you so you should probably stop acting like what happens on your screen is what's gonna happen in real life.
Okay very cool have fun talking in circles with yourself
Not him but it's called PATTERN RECOGNITION, bozo. If there's studies that show that out of 40,000 defensive shootings, only one involved needing more than 5 rounds, then statistically you're pretty okay carrying a 5 shot revolver, on an already very improbable situation where you need to shoot someone to begin with. I'm sure there's videos out there showing that at least one situation a guy would have been way better off carrying a bullet proof vest. Are you carrying a bullet proof vest day in day out? After all, you need every advantage you can get right? Start looking into carrying a slinged AR pistol under a coat as well.
If this was the 70s or earlier where a semi auto was expensive, didn't offer that much capacity over a revolver, it makes perfect sense to go with revolvers but what about today, 2023? Pistols that hold way more than 5-6 are reliable, affordable, have a great aftermarket including holsters, & are recommended by everyone except retards who can't just say, "I like these because they're cool".
There is no downside to taking a spare magazine & putting in your pocket before you leave your house, just like there is no downside to buying a modern pistol rather than something from the stone age. I'll give it to you that small revolvers as well as small pistols work very well when carrying without a holster in a place where you can't be seen carrying a gun, true deep concealment type stuff.
The funny part about your "le AR body armor carry" spiel, Fudd, is that if everyone started doing that, you would be more outgunned than you already are but please, fire back with another response about how nobody but you carries a gun, nobody but you fights to defend themselves or to commit crimes against anyone, & how nobody needs one-o-them high capacity assault pistols lol
The probability you will ever need more than 5-6 rounds to resolve a DGU is lower than the probability your auto will jam when you need it most.
>muh probability
the probability you will even need a gun is so low that we shouldn't bother carrying one
I agree but it's fun.

Missouri can be a rough place anon. If the gun is coming out, it's going off. Remember the fud lore: better to be judged by 12 than carried by six.
How exactly would having extra ammunition stop you from getting shot from behind, retard?
How would having a gun at all help with this? Just don't carry, bro
It wouldn’t dimbass but I didn’t make the claim that I’m scared of getting shot in the back so I need to carry a bigger gun.

I live in a shitty area where violent crime is common and 5 shots of 38 from a gun that's relatively hard to aim isn't sufficient. I carried a Jframe for years until Catholic social services resettled droves of somalis and south Americans in my city and it all went to shit.
>and it all went to shit.
by 'went to shit' you mean 'i go to the DMV and its 80% brown people the west has fallen'
Somalis go to Chiraq and other libtard hell holes. Shit really fell there.
>Somalis go to Chiraq
no they don't, retard.
Catholic social services resettles somalis in colder climates, for whatever reason. In the last year they've resettled close to 400,000 refugees across the US with the majority in the northern climes. And the majority of those refugees being from northern/eastern Africa.
Everyone wants to blame the israelites but it's been the Catholics working to erode national identity for some time.

Yes. Also pitbulls that attack me and my white man's dog.
No, I mean ive stopped two home invasions the last year and a half. My bike got stolen, a man got stabbed to death in the street a block from my house and a bunch of other shit. You sound like a prissy suburban bitch.
NTA but have you considered moving to a white neighborhood
Yes, we were supposed to move to a different city a few months back but plans fell through. Thankfully there are a handful of people in my area that look out for each other and we've been able to deter most bullshit.
Hopefully in the next year I'm in a better area.
Best of luck to you brother, sorry about your old neighborhood
>You sound like a prissy suburban bitch.

lmao, watch the local news and wait for the crime section.
This post can only come by either white sheltered plebbitor hands. Who have had the fortune of living in a nice white area and think race is only skin deep (like the media tells him) so other areas shouldn't be any different than his. Or by brown hands who are in self delusion because of their low IQ and inability to understand statistics and numbers.

>Anon experiences his neighborhood becoming rougher

Where do you fucking tourist trash come from and why aren't you in a Ukraine/Israel thread? I've seen more and more people sleeping out in the broad daylight in public parks and even found needles nearby a soccer field used by a lot of kids.
Yep, it's finally happening to small towns. This already happened in the cities during the 60s and 70s, Dirty Harry has a pretty good depiction of how filthy and horrible SF was back then if you focus on the background.
The problem is that the people living in echo chambers think its just racists complaining when the issue is drug based criminal activity. The Somalis mentioned go where the drug markets are as their job prospects are slim in a country they never should have been imported to but all the NPR listeners care about is race and shut down immediately when its not white kkk drug dealers terrorizing a prosperous black town.
>Catholic social services resettled droves of somalis and south Americans in my city
I really struggle to understand why they do this. These people are never going to fully intergrate, and they inevitably commit fuck tons of crime. I just don't get it man.
It's because Catholics and Protestants are both organized groups of sheep incapable of thinking three steps down the road; generally incapable of critical thinking at all
>"these black africans one generation removed from mudhut tribesmen are just like me because they were converted into a bastardized version of my religion!"
And now we've all seen how that goes.

You can keep it to yourself, but Protestant German, Swiss, and English populations in the US are easily the furthest right based on surveys and voting.
Catholics in the US, even the same ethnys, only make it to left of center at most.
Probably representative of the genetic difference of those willing to rebel against authority, once in the reformation and again in the US revolution.

Go study theology protestantism is a joke. Oriental Orthodoxy or Catholic Faith is the true Christian way. I converted from Conservative judaism lmao an even more iconoclast religion than any protestants. Also telling someone to kill themselves even ironically is a sin
Catholics are charitable to a fault, a fault only corrected by years of study and meditation. Only then is proper wisdom/judgement revealed to him. Catholicism is a religion best practiced by military men, historians, and scientists. Truly the autistic man's religion.

been keeping my eye on this lew horton model 13 on gunnagger and its getting harder to say no
thats a pretty gun
yeah its basically the prototype for the model 19 carry comp. 3 inch barrel, tapered cylinder, overtravel trigger stop, pc action job. differs in that its magnaported instead of the single barrel compensator and the bobbed hammer. love this little guy
same reason I don't carry a katana. I'm not a LARPer with a boner for anachronistic weapons that objectively weren't all that great
For me? It's gotta be a 10 shot compact revolver chambered in a .32 caliber magnum cartridge based on the .32 ACP. Like a .327, but optimized for self defense.
I'd rather launch 8 rounds of .357 in a fiery blast out of my 8 shot snub nose.
>compact
Because my country hates pistols and fun. And a revolver is both of those.
because as my great grandfather said "revolvers are toys, if you want to kill a man you use a 1911"

Revolver guys go through great lengths to justify gun control arguments
heh. same vein as
>Ive had guns all my life and everyone needs one, been hunting since i was 4 years old guns are great. BUT ASSAULT RIFLES LET ME TELL YOU
I really don't understand why when they have the ultimate argument of "My gun never jams". I thought that was the entire selling point of carrying a revolver over an auto
Revolvers only need to be justified with these
>I like it
>it’s comfortable, light, and I’m comfortable with it
>it does not rely on recoil to cycle the action and can be fired as long as the cylinder can rotate
If a 8-10 shot .38 or .32 revolver wasn’t fuck huge you’d be carrying that over a 6 shooter, I don’t think the 5-6 shot is all you need argument is good but if your problem couldn’t be fixed with 5 well placed shots I don’t think 10 will. But arguing that falls into the same category as gun grabber arguments and IMO all the stats are flawed and that active self protection guy is a fatass
>and that active self protection guy is a fatass
Is that the literallywho israelitetuber the one sped here loves to quote constantly as proof that no one "needs more than 5-6 shots" despite the fact the guy's evidence amounts to
>I watched a bunch of DGU vids, trust me guys
Yeah and he’s watched 40k self defense encounters (not all of them shooting) and nobody ever needed a reload.
His feet are disgusting so he’s not even simpable anymore
I'm sure he did, seems legit.
*citizen shootings*
If you watch cop shootings they reload multiple times, cops are the people who go to toe to toe with these criminals. Why shouldn’t you expect and prepare for the worst? Not saying revolvers are bad they have some advantages for carry, in comparison to a Glock you don’t even need a hard kydex holster to protect the trigger, can’t be forced out of battery. Important if you watched shootings where there is grappling
Don’t be too hard on the bipolar twink
I mean I'll be the last guy to say a revolver doesn't have advantages for carry, it's why I have one. But that dude has always grated me, as have the instances where he's been pulled out as evidence by people here.
> he’s watched 40k self defense encounters
At an average of 3 minutes per vid, assuming, that's nearly 3 years worth of just watching DGU encounters...
That’s what he and people who parrot his teachings say
he’s a fat armchair commando who is vain as shit. He doesn’t carry a reload because HE poured through the data, and social media fatty cannot be wrong.
To be fair, neither does that muscle bound NAVY seal jock from GBRS group. He only carries a G19 without a reload or a weapon mounted light. It seems all people who actually know how shit goes down, either from autistically studying or actually having been in combat, they're okay with one loaded pistol in their waistband. Either way, most standard compact polymer framed guns nowadays carry 15 rounds of quality 9mm.
Don’t know who you’re referring to, but I like Massad Ayoubs take in the subject.
Massad could stand to say "I don't know" more often. Better to get your takes from several different people who have studied a given topic more.
I didn’t say I tongue his anus on all matters, but he made some good points on why you should carry reloads.
I watched the presentation he did and he actually said the two biggest groups of shot counts are 5 and 10 shots, advocating that you carry extra to be on the safe side
because they're on a mission to prove that revolvers are better pistols overall, not just as carry guns. it's retarded fanboying.
>min max projection
>implying I don’t just like them because they look cool
okay, I know you're that twink with the fucked up broomhandle that literally cannot help but attentionwhore constantly, but no one was talking about anyone who enjoys revolvers. quit being an obnoxious, insucure retard for like five seconds. or just get a trip, you might as well you grating queer.
>quit being an obnoxious, insucure retard
Actual projection
>implying
No one, literally no one, was saying that people who prefer or like revolvers were ruining things, but a few select individuals. And then you reply with that.
>min max projection
Are you sure you're not the one projecting, or perhaps among the guilty party mentioned?
>among the guilty party mentioned?
No since I’ve said cool is the most important criteria I look for
That's...cool? Why did you think you were being referred to and felt the need to jump in again?
because he's an annoying retard who posts crying cheems pics half the time, and the rest of the time he's doing dumbass shit like this or pissing off people that he needs help from like the resident broomhandle expert when he was sobbing for advice on fixing it while simultaneously calling them stupid.
I want to kiss you so badly
Have you seen his feet
What’s wrong with them?!
I'm not into feet but you're cute. Let me frot with you.
judging by your feet, are your hands even big enough to shoot that?
can you not go one thread without gooning or cooming? god i hate footfags
Nobody has an issue with liking them, it’s the autists that shill them as if they’re better than modern autoloaders that are annoying.
I'd probably fill your ass with a liter of cum.
we're kind of in a bad spot where a few autistic loudmouths are constantly making threads and posts trying to convince people that revolvers aren't just relevant, but superior to everything else, and it puts everything in a bad light. kind of wish they'd just fuck off, but as they've repeatedly proven, they live online.
The only thing I appreciate revolvers for is chambering significantly more powerful cartridges.
>projecting
All I need to justify me taking a 686 over an M&P 2.0 are 2 very simple things, 357 makes my pp hard and I'm a better shot with the 686. If I could get an autoloader with a similar trigger I'd carry that instead
I'm in the market for a 9x19 but none of the nearby stores have one in stock so I'm debating whether or not I want to order it from guns.com or just get a .38
How do gun stores near you not have any 9mm pistols that does not make any sense. That'd be like a has station not selling 87 octane
9x19 revolvers*
Gotcha. If you want the 9mm devolver then order one. They have better expansion in snubnose lengths. I'm a .38 fag and even I'll admit that
9mm feels like a waste if it's the sole caliber it chambers. Often it's a gun that can handle 357 Mag, why not get that and practice with 38's?
You can always have the cylinder machined for moon clips if you really want 9mm.
>. Often it's a gun that can handle 357 Mag, why not get that and practice with 38's?
because I am in the market for a 9x19mm revolver. Not a .357, or .38. I'll compromise if I can't get my hands on the 9, but that's not my first choice.
>you can have it machined for moon clips
why pay extra for something that you basically get default in another gun that costs the same (or less)
Because the chambers only accept 9mm rather than 3 different types of ammunition.
/so close
Moonclips are a pain in the ass and my 5 shot LCR 9mm was the same size as my 12 shot S&W CSX which has less recoil
The issue is that they rechamber .357s to 9mm, meaning you have the length of the .357 of a chamber. You could make a 9mm revolver be overall shorter with the same barrel length as a .38 special revolver since the chamber doesn’t need to be as long. You could also design a chamber/ejector that doesn’t need moonclips to hold the rimless cases.
Only one revolver I know does the chamber thing and it’s the Korth Skymarshall that’s completely unobtainium. Charter Arms makes several rimless revolvers using a proprietary spring loaded ejector that grabs the rimless cases but they’re always out of stock. I always wanted the .45 ACP one
>Lighter weight and easier to conceal than a sp101
>modern ammo can gore a man just the same
>much better looking
100 year old colt is still the best
>put in some +P 38's and it will shoot loose in record time
It's an excellent feature.
It’s standard pressure 38. Also the FBI used to use overloaded 38sp comparable to P+ on their police positives https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54dc6b0be4b0d364a5ee20e0/t/54f81af2e4b0d7e31eb5e6bc/1425545970532/colt+keith+bullet.pdf
Because I'm comfortable with my LCP, thanks.
Implying you can’t have both
No? OP asked why I don't carry a revolver, I answered.
it's just a little too big
How long did it take you to track down a 4" model?
I have the 6" half lug, but heard the 4s were rarer.
I just grabbed it at a gun show, I would have figured the 4in would have been pretty popular since my buddy has a 4in service six too
If there were revolvers with decockers, I'd get one instantly.
I have been thinking of getting a .22 DAO revolver with three finger grip for conceal carry provided the barrel can manage modern defense .22 rounds.
What kind of situations are you picturing where you need to decock a revolver?
We have decockers on semi-autos. We should have them on revolvers at least for peace of mind.
The decocker on a revolver is called your thumb.
For the love of god never carry a revolver cocked
I almost had a retard moment a couple weeks ago. I just came back from a gas station and industrial area so I had the colt loaded.
I often dry fire when back home so I reflectively cocked it and pointed it at my rental wall. A second later I quickly realize it’s armed and I decock and empty, horrified at how dumb I was.
look i know we are all autistic retards here but im beggin ya to clear your weapon always before playin with it
Unloading and double checking your firearm should be muscle memory. Dipshits like you make the rest of us look bad
I normally keep snap caps in that gun and got complacent
I’m still angry at myself
i made it a habit when removing my carry revolver by always emptying the cylinder and pretending i just dump all 6 into a skinwalker or something
of course i then have to pick them all up and ive probably lost like 30 rounds under my fridge but its still fun for me
>pretending i just dump all 6 into a skinwalker or something
Based skinwalker slayer.
It's okay anon, I've ND'd in my house 5 times and 3 times at the range.

My protocol for dry fire is a lot more stringent these days. Typically I won't be in a room with ammo and I double/ triple check everything. I'll also verbally (out loud) tell myself "no more dryfire" when I'm finished.
>"CHAMBERED ROUNDS could be here" he thought. "I've never tried this carry before. CHAMBERED ROUNDS could be anywhere." The cool wind felt good against his bare chest. "I HATE ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGES" he thought. Fortunate Son reverberated his entire living room, making it pulsate even as the $9 whiskey circulated through his powerful thick veins and washed away his (merited) fear of negligence born from habit. "No more dry fire" he said to himself, out loud.
Lol saved
Negligent discharges are part and parcel of firearm ownership, you'll get used to it after a few times.
I was fucking around with my loaded one day. Was just cocking and decocking (with a decocker) and for whatever reason I pulled the trigger. It was a weird neuropathic response. I knew I fucked up because I vividly remember looking over immediately as I pulled the trigger. the image of the gun mid cycle is seared into my brain. Train yourself to check the condition of your weapon every time you pick it up.
Any revolver with a trigger block including bc antique nagant and police positives will only fire if you’re holding on to the trigger let go of the trigger not the hammer and it can’t fire even if the hammer slips
bait post
I carry a DA/SA revolver every now and again. Mainly when going into the city. I enjoy using my Single Actions but dont use them as a serious carry gun.
I mostly just carry my 255gr HC 45 super 1911s. I dont trust the 357 180gr HC to work against grizz unless its out of my rifle.
What 1911 with .45 super and what work done to it?
Tisas B45 and a Cimarron (RIA) 1911 (Pre 1918 version)
22lb recoil spring w/ extra power firing pin spring
Flat bottom firing pin stop
Recoil buffer
Some people also do the 25lb mainspring, I havent done the mainspring nor have I had an issue.
The B45 also has a 1 piece guide rod.
Both guns have a lot more done to them than just that but thats all you need for 45 super.
>I mostly just carry my 255gr HC 45 super 1911s. I dont trust the 357 180gr HC to work against grizz unless its out of my rifle.
Bears don't like getting shot. They aren't tanks. Pistols get the job done.

>The shots were slightly delayed because the revolver was a single action
>The bear charged him. His first shot was from about 5 feet, into the chest. The bear grabbed him by the leg and threw him, then picked him up again. Ben missed a shot, the managed to get a shot into the bear’s stomach. The bear dropped him, then grabbed him by the head, shook him, and dropped him again. He shoved the pistol and both hands into the bears mouth, and fired.
>The bear moved back, shook its head, took a swipe at Ben with its paw, leaving a sliver of claw through Ben’s thumb.
>Then it walked off. The attack was finished.
Just because it can eventually kill a bear, or may eventually work doesnt stop the bear from fucking you up. 357 MAY work out of a revolver. But it will absolutely work out of a rifle and there are better handguns to use.
ok but Bernhard Goetz didn't need that many so...
>need
Should I sell my 642 to get an lcr in 9mm or just buy an lcr? I’m not poor but 38 so expensive bros.
>Yiff in hell
Snubs are great for your typical edc. You know where you're going to be throughout the day, you're in a low threat environment, etc. Snubs are really good as a defensive tool when things get close and obtaining a perfect draw may not be possible. It also carries like nothing else because of its shape and weight.
On the days where you might want a bit more capacity, you might as well skip the slim 9s and carry a proper doublestack pistol. Simple as.
I dont carry revolvers normally but I may eventually get a short barreled one for carry.
Want a Night Cobra but they're almost unobtanium now. Saw one on gunbroker last week but it went fast.
am! LCR W laser
>Why aren't you carrying a revolver?
I am.
Autoloaders are smaller, lighter (usually), easier to shoot, easier to reload, and have better capacity.
>Autoloaders
bruh just say automatic like a normal person
I retired my J-frame two days ago when an anon thoroughly defeated my arguments for carrying a revolver. I immediately went out to my LGS and bought a 43x. I kneel to the modern micro 9. If some fucker shoots up my local bowling alley I want a snowball’s chance in hell of killing him. I plan to get a 507k red dot also. The future is now
Interesting I just traded my p365 for a 442 yesterday after getting completely schooled by some anon
Damn fellas debate club time. I have a .38spl that's great for carry, super comfy and concealable, but I'm feeling like I need more capacity. Either talk me into getting a g27/g30 OR keeping my snubnose.
>inb4 stupid calibers
don't care
so most self defense shootings are over in like 3 shots or less, you gotta consider also that you still need to then actually get into a self defense shooting scenario... which I believe might still be equal to getting struck by lightning
I really like these
but I have a S&W Bodyguard .38spl +P that I really like. I'm considering getting a frame clip and one of those kydex covers that clips onto the trigger guard to keep it safe, and you strip it off or attach it via little lanyard to your pants so it pops off while you draw.
All the same reasons I got a .38 in the first place. I have a clip draw clip on mine and I don't even bother with a trigger guard because there's no way in hell my dick can accidentally pull that trigger. Highly recommend the clip though, it's as concealable as a gun can possibly be.
I worry less about myself and more about some freak accident bullshit where something catches the trigger through my pants or while I holster
it's just a peace-of-mind thing.. I always think of that video of the guy who has his gun IWB at 12 oclock and he goes to bend over and it goes off, not when he holsters, not when he's fucking with it prior, like 5 seconds later after he crouches down.. but I'm pretty sure it was some shit holster + custom glock trigger cause idk how you do that
If it's the video I'm thinking of, (he's in a store of some kind and a woman rushes over to administer first aid) he literally had a dick piercing that got caught on his dumbass hair-trigger, lmao
LMAO yeah that's it
like I doubt even my G17 would ever go off raw dogging it in my waist band but I still wouldn't want to do it, it's weird to have the trigger naked to the world with one in the tube to me, I think it's just entirely a personal thing I my part
I carry a trad bow and quiver of single bevel broadheads on my back, which are concealed by my cape
>cape
lol, northern fucking cuck state homosexual. my state is open carry so it's loin cloths all the way.
get.
on.
my.
level.
But op, I do carry a revolver
Its my usual carry unless I go to the city. Then I carry a semi auto.
If Im just hanging out on the property, I carry a single action army.
once my aiwb holster comes in i'll probably start carrying this guy pretty often.
California's CCW Permit Process is near unobtanium and when you do get it, the CADOJ Doxes you.
But when I lived in Arizona, even though I had the freedom to carry anything, I had a S&W 640 on me simply for comfort and discretion.
If California ever gets...rights back, I'd rock a Kimber K6
The honest to god real reason is in all of my nightmares where I'm trying to pull the trigger on a gun but I can't because dream weakness, it's always a revolver. Dream me doesn't trust them so neither do I.
I have the 1000lb trigger dreaam to but what's weird is my dream weapons always fail me. Sword? Bends like a piece of ribbon steel the moment i swing it. Bat? Shatters on impact. Knife? Literally turns to rubber. Only my hands never fail me in my dreams
I've never had failed dream punches, only guns and that one where you have to try and drive a car from the backseat.
Never had the backseat one but definitely had plenty of driving dreams where fucked up GTA driving physics take over and when I brake the car just yeets itself 200 feet in the air
The backseat out of control one is my most common nightmare. The one I always remember when I wake up. For some reason, the driver is passed out or I'm just in the backseat while the car is driving, I've got to drive the car while it's in motion. I can barely reach the steering wheel and I can't reach the pedals and I'm stretching and trying as hard as I can but the car is out of control. I feel like it's because as far as I can remember, all my closest brushes with death or traumatic experiences were car wrecks, two as passenger and two as driver.
A roller coaster into an abyss I could handle. The part that gets me is I feel like I can save myself if I really fight, where it's life or death and if I summon the full measure of my will I will overcome death himself and live on and yet somehow in all these dreams not once have I ever crashed nor successfully recovered control of the vehicle, I always wake up in the middle.
Huh, I factually started having this exact same dream. Car is in motion, need to turn or brake but somehow I am sitting behind the driver seat.
No car trauma here, but I guess my work puts me working with accidents a lot.
I think it's a mind metaphor, though, like the car is just a vehicle to impair loss or lack of control.
>drive a car from the backseat
because I live in an utterly cucked country.
if our laws were good, chances are I might go for a revolver, simply because of the number of bodycam vids where the pistol malfunctions in creatively terrible ways
I recently had a dream where the gun worked perfectly. big repeating airgun with 600 joules of energy as I was told in the dream. shot one attacker, chambered the next pellet, dropped another. then just kept going about my day, because the event happened on a visit to the US, where in perfect dream logic, a clear self defense doesn't require notifying the police and you can just walk around town with a huge air rifle at the ready because it's not a firearm
an underlying feeling of powerlessness and feel you're unable to fight back/change some shit. some shit in your life that is making this. sort it out and it will change.
Fuck off Freud I know my life sucks and I know why it sucks I don't need your astrology-level analysis to tell me that
No you VILL fuck your mother and you VILL do the cocaine and you VILL be happy
>VILL
>already have
there's nothing freudian about that analysis at all and freudian dream analysis is generally ignored these days. but whatever, if you don't want any help continue to be an impotent homosexual all your life, sounds like it's exactly what you deserve nagger.
>fuck off
>n-no you fuck off
>got eem
Oh no I'm absolutely aware it represents powerlessness, not in my life specifically, but rather the world. The car is society/humanity and I'm afraid we're collectively asleep at the wheel.
I swap between two different carry guns. I like this one a little more
>BiG iRoN
BIG IRON
Ewww wtf?
Im a Glock fag but own several revolvers and am considering a Raging Bull as I feel it fits my personality. Is this retarded?
>why not revolver
i dont use a holster and carry strong side so i prefer slim automatics
So what's the carry load of choice for the 357 users ITT?
.38spl+p so my ears don't blead and the flash doesn't blind me when i rapid fire my airweight snubby
My revolvers and lever actions are strictly for larping as Val Kilmer in Tombstone.
More Weight
Less Bang
I only have single sction cowboy revolvers, and as much as Id love to be able to have a big iron on my hip as a viable option for defense..its not going to cut it. I mean, 45lc will definately fuck someone up but I need something that will put lead downrange fast with quick follow up and is able to be reloaded quickly.
Id consider carrying one if I had a modern one wth moon clips but still, ammo capacity will always be the killer of revolver fudds. They are 100% more fun than most semi autos though.
Those are some ugly grips.
Went with plain walnut for mine then stripped and sanded before refininshing with linseed oil.
Just picked up a .45 ACP cylinder as well and it timed perfectly right out of the box.
Meh, its what it came with, and it was a gift so I wont complain. The camera makes it look a bit more rancid in color than what they are.
Im thinking about getting one of their new 9mm 1873s
Cause I'm a broke ass who can't afford a gun rn
nobody sells double action felonguns
and I'm not doxxing myself at the PD to get a license and a permit
I live in a safe country
>Translation: Im not allowed to legally defend myself
I do tho
Are you cute
Just picked this up
Very nice, shame about the hole on new Smiths.
I'm probably just a week or two from getting a 1970s Model 19. Can't wait.
BECAUSE MODERN REVOLVERS ARE OUTDATED AND GAY!
outdated and dangerous technology
Because I as a 5'7 140 lbs man decided to get a Glock 22 and not a revolver because I live a city with roaming monkeys
Why not a G27? Easier to conceal.
I'd carry this, but it's too damn heavy. I have to carry it in a small cross body bag.
because im left handed and more importantly because its not 1979
Not with that attitude it isn't, I'm bringing Disco and 8 track back bitches and you can't stop me

What 44 cal do you think is ideal for carrying?
I love my SBH, but it's 7.5in of huge.
SW model 629 with a 3-5 inch barrel.
An N frame is not a carry gun.
Might as well just carry my Redhawk then, the only dimensional difference is the width of the cylinder.
While I'm inclined to agree with you, the width of the cylinder is the number 1 thing that makes a revolver uncomfortable to carry, followed by the grip angle, followed by an excessively long barrel.
Only 5 shot revolvers in .357mag or smaller calibers are comfy to carry, at least IWB.
>An N frame is not a carry gun.

>Gee Anon, what's that weird black strap going across your upper chest?
Also, nice onions wrist.
>Verification not required.

I'm not that Anon, I don't carry an n frame unless I'm innawoods because I'm not a retard. K frame is perfectly fine.
I carried the RH as a novelty for an occasion.
I want to see this fucking anon cc his N-frame.
did a bee sting you
What the fuck is wrong with your wrist?
You know in The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly. That scene where Tuco goes and "buys" and revolver? And he field strips a few revolvers, and starts mixing and matching parts between them.
Can that actually be done with revolvers?
Not generally.
There's a handful of fitted, mated parts on revolvers required for timing.
The ratchet, hand(pawl), trigger sear, hammer sear, double action sear(hammer dog), are all fitted parts.
The cylinder latch isn't really a fitted part, but it does affect how you shape the pawl in order to ensure the cylinder begins to rotate while the cylinder latch is disengaged. Too short a pawl and the latch reengages into a stop notch, too long and the pawl tries rotating while the latch never disengaged.
It looked cool and you saw it in a movie? Then, probably no. Cool movie shit and real life hardly ever meet.
I misremembered what that webm was, apologies. Sometimes, you just wrong. You know?
>shows a scene from a movie where they literally put daylight thru a guy. Geezus what a cringe movie.
how come 99% of 38spc ammo uses rnfp bullets? these little shits are killing my reload times
Are. You shooting heavier grain bullets somewhere around 158gr? That's why. Load 130gr instead, round nosed and slide really easily into the chamber.
Also wworryig about reolad times is retarded and defeats the purpose of carrying a revolver. You carry a revolver because you don't think you're gonna need more than 6. If you think you're gonna need more than 6, get an autoloader
I like revolvers.
I usually carry an S&W 64-8.
.38 spl is plenty of bullet for the job and Basketball Americans tend to scatter when a shit gets fired.
Anybody carry these? Just watched a video on it. Looks like a better option than Speed Strips or Speed Loaders. Pricey. $50 a piece. Only takes 38/357 for now.
what are these called?
Wrapid Loader.

just got picrel as my first, what am I in for? also whats a good place to buy 357 mag?
Kimber is pretty universally hated and snub nose magnums are at best controversial. I'm also not personally a fan of DAO revolvers. I guess aside from that, you can actually pocket carry that one and I know it looks better in person than it does in that picture. My preference is that it would be better with a 3 or 4" barrel, an exposed hammer and carried in the waste band.
I'm not sure what all you fags do with your pockets. One of my front pockets has keys, the other a pocket knife and cellphone. Are you all pocket carrying in the same pocket as your keys?
>what am I in for
Gimped magnum power and shitty groups
Would love one of these. After carrying a lightweight 38 snub, I’m on board for all steel. As far as ammo, you can probably get some decent prices at big box stores for Hornady FTX. I’ve found some great practice ammo at Bass Pro that’s really Winchester reboxed as a house brand. As far as “the Best .357 ammo” I’d check out Lucky Gunner’s YouTube channel and Tools & Targets YouTube channel. The Tools & Targets guy does a ton of ballistic gel tests of all calibers.
To answer that question for you, based on my research Buffalo Bore 125 grain low flash seems to work the best alongside Barnes 125 Tac PD in terms of penetration and expansion, hitting that goldilocks depth of 14-16". Personally I carry Buffalo Bore 125gr 357 Item 19D for that extra oomph (plus it's 10 bucks cheaper) but I'd imagine it'd be miserable to use in a snub, it's got quite a kick from my 4" 686. I haven't tried underwood's offerings yet but that a lot of people swear by them and they seem pretty good especially for the price
