Hankering for a shiny revolver...

Thinking of getting a wheel gun next. So far I've only fired my 9mm Beretta 92, which has comfortable grip and recoil for me.

I'm hoping to rent some revolvers if I get a chance. I'm a big fan of the Colt SAA design and considered things like the Ruger Single-Six/Ten.

Any first-time revolver recommendations? Is it worth getting a quality 22? Mainly looking for something pretty and fun to shoot. :D

For inexpensive single action fun I have heard decent things about the Heritage Rough Rider which is a .22.

I have an Uberti Cattleman which is a clone of a Colt 1893 - mine is chambered in .357 mag. It's fun to play with.

However, my Uberti sits in the safe most of the time. If you're looking for a revolver that you'll actually use look into a double action S&W or Ruger.

I have a Heritage Rough Rider chambered in .22LR, I do not have the Magnum cylinder for it. 

I find it very accurate and pleasing to shoot. If cosmetics are a priority for you, you may want to look at other manufacturers. Mine had some minor chipping in the finish right out of the box. It was the better of the two in stock at the time. All in all, I do not regret the purchase and think it is good value for what I paid.

I had a free gun rental from RTSP for the mounth os OCT. Wanted something I never shot before as well. I went with a Ruger in .38. Was great shooting. Accurate, and fun. Lower recoile than I was expecting.  I troll the interwebs looking for a ruger single six or single ten all the time, just haven't found one at a good price. Good luck

I think I might try the Ruger Vaquero in 45 Colt if I get a chance... that sounds pretty cowboy to me. :D 

If I were to go 22, I would definitely go Ruger Single-____ but it is a lot harder to come by than I imagined. I figured it would be nice to get a 22 revolver and rifle for some easy shooting.

Looks like the cheap option is even cheaper: https://www.bereli.com/heritage-rough-rider-single-action-revolver-22lr-6-5-barrel-alloy-frame-blue-finish-cocobolo-grips-fixed-sights-6rd-long-rifle-cylinder-only/?utm_campaign=[heritage] Email Campaign 2020-12-14 12%3A36%3A27 (UxVfXy)&utm_medium=email&utm_source=AFFILIATES&_kx=dwMsw-_yFQcF8V-NiFRiXD3PbOHU-1Nvz2JOWVAalpFpzjdhl2nvXg0-icETPq19.PcfdLm

22LR Rough Rider for just 119.99. Granted, with just the 22LR cylinder. I'd totally go for this if it weren't for the handgun limits we have.

I went to my LGS to burn a permit on one of those cheap .22 revolvers and it looked and felt cheap to me.  They also had a Ruger Single Six in stainless steel with both the .22LR and .22 Mag cylinders. It was used but not a mark on it so I went with that one and I'm glad I did!

If you don't mind me asking how much you paid for it. I have been looking for one.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in

      I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html

      The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam

      Softer Holster

      By maintenanceguy · Posted

      I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.

      Light primer strikes

      By Mr.Stu · Posted

      Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
