yeah, what GFH wrote.

Just some of the Colts but this could be why....

 

I love belly guns! Very nice sir.

Another Bump!

Seems like revolvers are considered old school now, (sorry frank) but how can you go wrong with such a beautiful piece of machinery?

Whats not to love? I'm 22 and I actually love revolvers. If the SHTF I could honestly see myself grabbing one of my revolvers.

 

Have not owned a revolver yet, but been thinking about one of the J frames as a backup carry once I leave NJ.

 

I do like the idea of fewer failure modes with easier fixes in a revolver - a failure to fire is solved by pulling the trigger again.

 

I also like the idea of a revolver once I get old and creaky and an autoloader becomes harder for me to operate.

Revolvers are definetly cool, but I can't help but wonder if the reliability angle is a bit exaggerated given the quality of modern autoloaders.

 

Also, in my limitied experience, revolver failures tend to entail a pretty serious malfunction that cannot be quickly or easily corrected, leaving the weapon fully inoperable [as opposed to common autoloader malfunctions that can be worked around by racking the slide/switching to a fresh magazine/etc].

 

Then again, I could just be bitter because the cylinder on my newly aquired [used] S&W 686 has refused to open since last saturday. Bringing a new purchase back for service before you've even had the chance to get it dirty is no fun...

Is that Hornady Critical Defense I see?

Why yes it is...

Why yes it is...

 

Not just regular critical defense, those look like the LeveRevolution rounds with the pointed tip!

Definitely more intimidating. :mrgreen:
