Picked this beaut up today. Excited to take it to the range. Need to order some .327 for it.
>>64373800K6S DC checking in.
>>64373800nice
>>64373800When I’m not carrying my G47 I’m carrying my air weight bay bay
I got a 6 inch gp100 for my first revolver and I kinda wish I had gone for the 4 inch barrel now. It's just too big and bulky.
>>64373800Patrician taste.
Is the TRR8 a meme? Or is it actually worth $1600? Is there any way to buy an aftermarket shroud for a j frame in 2025?
>>64374587>Get with the time grandp-ACK !
>>64374587is it legal for him to just execute the dude on the ground like that
>>64374778Yes
>>64374778bad guy still had the gun in his hand, even after being shot a second time.
>>64373952if only it were possible to buy a second gun
>>64373952The 6" version has too much inertia to point quickly. The Match Champion remedies this with a half-lug barrel, but it's very expensive.
>>64374778depends on a few things mostlylike where you arewhat your race iswhat race the shooter is
I didn't want to make a new thread over a dumb question so I decided to shit up this one. Please bare with my retardation:Is there really such a thing as a "combat revolver" distinguished from a "regular" revolver? Or is it just marketing LARP?
>>64374778The prosecutor would have to prove that the guy was no longer a reasonable threat which is a pretty high bar considering that the younger guy looks like he initiated the escalation to deadly force and he was still holding his firearm when he was on the ground.I'd be more concerned about the shot the old man fired down the street.
>>64374587In the end, all that mattered was who shot first.
>>64374955My daily carry.
>>64374978now you know why they demonized Han for shooting first.
>>64374955
>>64374955Two world wars sonny
>>64374955>Is there really such a thing as a "combat revolver"Not really, those revolver were made for Police with shields to use while breaching. Slides would get stuck on the shield and revolvers don't have that problem.
>>64374955As other anon said, the TRR8 and 'tactical' revolvers are great for SWATing due to the short length and use with a shield, but that's different from 'combat'. I think a revolver is potentially a great backup piece for a firefight. That reload time is the real Achilles heel though, for protracted hostile engagement. I want to hear from anons that have shot or own them though, I think it might be a really ideal home defense handgun because it can take a light and won't jam. But the price point is up there, above what I paid for a home defense shotgun.
>>6437609610 years from now we will talk about revolvers the way we talk about HK. Not for the poor…they will be status symbols of the elites.
Recently aquired single six chambered in 32 h&r magnum.I like it. It has a little more ass behind it than I was expecting. Does anyone happen to know if 32 auto works in these? Its semi rimmed so it should right?
>>64374803ever think maybe he doesn't want to drop another 800 bucks or so?
>>64374778it was in brazil so who tf knows
>>64375785>those revolver were made for Police with shieldsngl that really felt more like a sales pitch than an actual use. most SWAT shield guys dont even point a gun, they are just on shield duty. especially when they're using a modern shield that is actually rated for rifle rounds, you aren't one-handing one of those.
>>64376257Conventional wisdom is that anything that shoots .32 H&R and .327 should be capable of shooting .32 auto. Have I personally tested this? No.
>>64374793He will be tried for murder kek
>>64376257>BEFORE USING GUN - READ WARNING IN INSTRUCTION MANUAL AVAILABLEGod damn can they just stop ruining the guns with that shit. The only thing written on the gun should be a well hidden model and the caliber.
>>64376096The tr8s have issues, mostly with the barrel design and shield to protect the top strap from cutting due to the lightweight material used in the frame. Being an 8 shot also means an N frame, or eNormously thick making IWB a bit of a pipe dream. HD only revolver in .357 that beats itself to death with .357 loads gives it a very small niche. I'd love a 686+ with a light rail, planning to work on a 3dp light mounting method for them in the near future and see how that works
>>64374778Who cares
>>64376829I know, I hate it when companies do that. I have an old jm marlin that says to read manual before use tooI typically prefer pre '79 rugers because they dont have the warnings billboard.I have several with the warning that i want to remove. Completely ruins the look of the gun>>64376364Looks like I will have to be the one to try it. I have not seen anyone actually try, they just say it should work.
>>64373800>327He bought the meme.Enjoy sucking cock for ammo when the encroaching Depression hits.
>>64373800.32 gang>>64376885Tried to buy some at my LGS today but they didn't have any. I'm not gonna put in an online order for it because I don't have any .32 ACP guns. Sorry anon.
>>64377223I’ll eat some pineapple and you can come over. If you want hollow points, I’m going need eye contact.
>>64377266I have other guns chambered in more common calibers as well, anon. If .32 disappears from the face of the earth tomorrow, I can always shoot .357/.38
Why the hell isn't there any load data for the 32 long or H&R that uses the 71 grain 32acp bullets? I have a shitload that I use for my 32 acp handloads, but I don't want to buy a whole other type of bullet for one of my less shot cartridges. This is the only reason I haven't bought one of those Ultimate Carry J frames. I already have 3 38 special J frames so I'm not buying a 4th that isn't any different from my regular 642. It'll probably have a worse trigger too because I stone all my carry revolvers nice and smooth.
>>64373800why am I suddenly seeing so much .327 on this board? what's so special about .327?
>>64377406It's a meme cartridge that really should be more popular, but it is too expensive for anybody to shoot regularly so they like to just yack about it on basket weaving forums.
>>64377406there's a kind of fun spike at the .312 bullet diameter on a graph, people who enjoy shooting realize they get more fun per shot out of .32 and so they wind up with an inordinate number of .32 guns. I just got my sixth, personally.
>>64377455What does 44 out of an air weight feel like?
>>64377469.32 ACP pistols are fun because they're so tiny which makes them cute and easy to conceal, but .327 revolvers are the same size as .357 revolvers, so I don't see how the bullet diameter being .312 instead of .357 (or any other size for that matter) magically makes the gun more fun.
Anybody else here Rohmpilled?
>>64377504yeah but +1 round is more betterer
>>64377534Unironically of course :>) imagine thinking a fraction of a fraction of an inch of increased expanded diameter is better than an extra projectile and so extra shot at major organ/artery/CNS disruption
>>64377506what is the point of the back half of the trigger guard on a fitz special? reduced snag risk?>>64377534lame
>>64377534>>64377548K6S got six.
>>64377406Chris Baker from Lucky Gunner shilled .32 years ago which got the ball rolling, S&W reintroduced a .32 J frame that was well made and Ruger put out a special SP101 in .327 in 2024 which got people excited about it, the j frame and SP101 sold well enough to get 2nd versions made, now people are seeing the benefit of .32 over .38/.357 (namely lower recoil and extra round with good performance) so it's gaining traction. It also helps that prices for .32 H&R are down quite a bit from when S&W put out the J frame. It was like a dollar per round and now it's down to 50cpr if you know where to look.
Long barreled s/w 57 at my lgs… 1200…. Tempting
>>64377583Slightly larger profile than LCR, but barely so it indeed mogs the LCR

Anyone try the revomag yet?
>>64377594luv me .41mag
>>64377801No, but I’ve used a .357 Desert Eagle magazine for it which is pretty much the same thing, it’s still not as fast as a speed loader.
>>64377801>$65 and holds 8 rounds of .38/.357It's not a new concept. Boomers would load their .45 ACP revolvers with 1911 mags. You could buy a Deagle .357 magazine for cheaper than the revomag and get 9 rounds instead of 8
>>64377907>get 9 rounds instead of 8It’s actually 10, I know it says 9 but it fits 10.
Really gotta get nice wood grips for my Model 69
>>64377953Spend more time looking at it than shooting it, eh?
>>64377960Unfortunately yeah, don't get as much range time as i'd like
>>64377967You should look at some Pachmayr Grippers instead, you’ll want to shoot it more if it’s not so shocking to shoot. Colt and S&W have this issue with exposing the frame on the backstrap on most of their guns, leading to more felt recoil and a “sledgehammer” feeling to your hand, Pachmayr grips enclose the frame and give you more material to work with.
>>64377904Is it faster than a speed strip?
>>64377992speed strips aren't secure enough imo. bullets could easily fall out if you sat weird.
>>64377992Nope, you’re still loading 2 at a time with the strip instead of 1 with a magazine, the real neat accessory someone should make is mini Sinclair Loadmasters for .357 and .44 mag.
>>64377989>Pachmayr GrippersSince I shoot maybe a box of underwood a year out of my 44mag i'd rather some nice walnut grips.
>>64378022>amini Sinclair Loadmasteri think the size of 12ga makes that sort of design more feasible and honestly hand-feeding bullets is the least secure way of doing so. the fact of the matter is that reloading revolvers sucks ass, the ways to do it quickly are jank, the best versions of the method are usually more expensive that magazines and these versions simply do not fit in a pocket without bulging in a silly way.imo its why 5-shot revolvers are such a bad idea.
>>64378068I think it would work well if lightly spring loaded, I’m talking a belt mounted size that lets you get +2 +2 +2 to load the gun.
>>64377890This one was the 8 inch with the chrome polish finish…. If I pick up a 41 mag and a 327 federal mag revolver then I’ll have the full set of magnums…. 22, 327, 357, 10mmM, 41, 44, and 500…. Maybe get something converted to 10mm magnum as well.. although that’s definitely wildcat territory…
>>64377890Collection goals aside, how’s that shoot? It looks fantastic.
>>64378189right it would be cool but my point is that once loose bullets are in your hands its now significantly more likely you will drop them. the benefit of a speed strip is that all the bullets are attached to be big strip you can easily hold in your palm, same with a speedloader.
>>64378068Hard to keep the size reasonable if your putting more than 5 shots in it though…Although I guess ruger figured it out…. But they seem like they can’t be bothered to make something bigger than 454….
>>64378263The metal between each chamber is dar thicker than the chamber to the outside of the cylinder. Looks like they could fit a sixth round in there.
>>64378268Wonder if they just kept the 5 shot timing from the 500 version when they made the 460…. Compared to the super redhawk in 454 yeah it could probably get away with closer spacing… BFR cylinder in 500 for comparison… don’t think you’d sneak 6 in that.
>>64378287User error picture problems….
>>64377742Me on the left
>>64376096Have both. A revolver you can hand over to the Mrs. and she knows it's loaded and there is no safety and she wont hit the mag release in a panic or have a pistol in single action after a defensive shoot. Maybe more reliable for big game encounters.
>>64378481the amount of goofy what-ifs people invent for why revolvers are actually totally better and the best are always so funny.
>>64377592>Chris BakerHi, I sell ammo online, and just by coincidence I think the best caliber is something you have trouble finding everywhere else. How many pallets can I put you down for?https://youtu.be/rz_m4M8CAe0?si=jtOqT20IkInNbu3-
>>64377592>>64377406Also the success of .30 Super Carry has allowed Federal to make more .327
>>64378488I'm not dealing with a hypothetical woman in my life. Apparently your faghole spewing self is.
>>64376096>I think a revolver is potentially a great backup piece for a firefight.This, if you're using a revolver in anything more serious than civilian self defence then it should be if you don't have time to reload your primary weapon or it malfunctions
>>64375449A 100 years war sonny
>>64378717Well thats one way to put it.
>>64373800> smol iron on his hip
>>64378717>discontinued the best 38 special defensive load ever madeWhat in the absolute fuck is wrong with federal?
>>64377890Sauce on that knife?
>>64373800No matter what I carry i always end up going back to a snubbie in my pocket
>>64379489Meh I think Hydra Shok Deep is better. They expand just as reliably, penetrate deeper, and can be used in speed loaders. They are a straight upgrade.
>>64379571>childrens cartoon 'poor kid always beats rich kid' mentality>anti-tryhard mentality when talking about life-or-death situations
>>64379783I mean other than cost, which is irrelevant and terminal effect, as 357 snubs and 9mm +p is about the same, what in that pic is wrong? Being able to have a firing grip and able to fire while still concealed is legitimately an advantage of revolvers, heavy DA revolver triggers are legitimately safer that Glock style pistols with light, short traveling triggers and no safety. Most autos can't really be pocket carried so you need a holster and that is just less comfortable than pocket carry unless it is a small pistol in an OWB holster, and even if you choose one small enough to pocket carry you can only shoot it once, maybe twice before it jams up on your clothes.
>>64379769Every youtuber ballistics test on that round seems poor.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOPTv3QRu_Ehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mz8ezzeZaX4
>>64379834>357 snubs and 9mm +p is about the same9mm +P out of an automatic is going to recoil much, much less than a 357mag out of a snub. "skill issue" or "lift more" is not an argument>Being able to have a firing grip and able to fire while still concealed is legitimately an advantage of revolverspaul harrel ruined an entire generation of gun owners. do any of you nerds even practice shooting from inside a pocket? probably not. you dont even practice hip firing because your range doesn't allow it. so much of this rhetoric hinges on you actually being competent at hipfiring or the assailants being the guys from that Collateral gif. the fact of the matter is that shooting from inside a pocket is comically inaccurate and borderline negligent. you have 5 or 6 shots and you're wasting them blind firing.>heavy DA revolver triggers are legitimately safer that Glock style pistols with light, short traveling triggers and no safety. no they aren't because those automatics are being carried in a rigid kydex holster.>Most autos can't really be pocket carried so you need a holster and that is just less comfortable than pocket carry unless it is a small pistol in an OWB holster, and even if you choose one small enough to pocket carry you can only shoot it once, maybe twice before it jams up on your clothes.if carried correctly and if you make an intelligent choice of CC gun then it is only mildly annoying.i dont even hate revolvers but i do hate revolver users on /k/ because ALL of you are feels > reals posters who try to pretend they carry a revolver for legitimate tactical reasons.
>>64379837Both tests use clear gel and therefore is irrelevant. Clear gel does not simulate real gel or human tissue. It is about half as dense as real gel and you can not use standards set with real gel while testing using clear gel as a medium. It is purely a marketing and youtuber product. Watch the video about CCi Uppercut from 22 plinkster and he goes over why clear gel is not relevant. https://youtu.be/I8GGhncUMPA?si=641F6C_joC5iu_ft

>>64380009belittling all my legitimate points is not a good way to make yourself seem like an emotional manchild
>>64379859>>”skill issue” is not an argumentClearly typed by someone with no skill.
>>64381167You're points were stupid and not relevant the the points that were presented. All you did was move goalposts and didn't actually argue against the point. Like the shooting from the pocket thing. No shit, most people aren't practiced in it. Most people aren't practiced in shooting clays, but acting like the majority of people not being practiced in a particular skill means that the benefit of the skill doesn't exist is retarded. I can sure see the benefit of shooting clays if I'm hungry and want some duck. I can also see the benefit of pocket shooting if I am being followed by someone.A holster does not make an inherently less safe design more safe.Recoil is relevant, but not what was being talked about. 38 special out of a steel frame J has less recoil than 9mm out of a subcompact if you want to talk about recoil.Iwb holsters are less comfortable than pocket carry no matter what you are carrying, end of discussion.

>>64377554>what is the point of the back half of the trigger guard on a fitz special? reduced snag risk?purpose of the fitz special is to make it so it doesnt snag when drawing it from a pocket, without a trigger guard in the back it could snag on the trigger when drawingother reason is it stops your middle finger from sliding up to being behind the trigger and making sure you dont stop the trigger from fully depressing because your finger is accidentally in the way
>>64383578you dont really carry it in your hand like that, you just have it in your pocket and then stick your hand in your pocket too, if you feel danger you just grab it then
>>64374587>that fireballbubba's pissin hot loads
>>64377742.32 H&R really is a better airweight cartridge. The only reason .38 became standard in snubbies is because they were initially steel framed guns and police wanted ammo commonality with their service revolvers. That doesn't mean that .38 is any good out of an airweight. 5 shots instead of 6, snappy recoil for the weight unless you get a steel frame, and most loadings don't actually perform that well out of a 2" barrel. You can call me a contrarian for not using .38 for snubbies, but I don't care because I'm already being extremely autistic by buying and carrying revolvers. I'm going to pick calibers that actually work well with the frame size and weight and have good performance out of the guns they're going to be fired through.
>>64383557Is top break truly impossible to ever do again?
>>64383787revolver companies simply dont trust their users to not do retarded shit and blow their pistols up
