ANY GOOD .22LR REVOLVERS THAT ARE AFFORDABLE AND NOT THE RUGER LCR/LCRX?!
>>64648150Ruger wrangler
>>64648104Based K frame enjoyed by many! I love my model 10's
>>64648150Charter Arms pathfinder?
>>64648226I miss the model 10 autist
>>64648104Why can't the Ruger Redhawk be less than $1k
>>64648182I wish they called these The Rugler
>>64648261>Charter Arms pathfinder?it's so fucking UGLY
>>64648429>>64648261oh wait nvm, I was looking at the target pathfinder
>>64648389>the Ruger Rugler You didn’t think this through
>>64648150Used H&R Sportsmans
Which revolver fulfills all these criteria?>snubnose>357>no internal lock
>>64648602I want to pick up a sportsman at some point. But for what it’s worth I’ve got a 676 that I bought used and is still trucking after about 7000 rounds put through it.
>>64648651Gp 100 is pretty solid No firsthand experience with them though, I’ve got a Blackhawk in 357 and keep meaning to pick up a double action but it just hasn’t worked out yet
Thoughts about the RIA AL22 .22lr??
>>64648104Been messing around with old Tauruses lately. Got this early 90s 2.5" 66 and an '87 3" 66 that's blued. Havent shot them much but theyre nicer in fit and finish than you would think knowing current Taurus. I dont have pics rn but I just put a grip adapter on this thing and it's pretty comfy in dry fire.
>>64650017Old Taurus revolvers are kino
>>64650017This is cute. My current pride.
>>64648355Because it's not.
>>64650034Yeah I've been trying to find cool old Brazilian police stories, but haven't found anything so far.
>>64650341Just watch active self protection
>>64650063i got me one of them but its missing its rear sight :(
>>64648651Sp101
>>64648104Very nice, I was looking at a triple lock but didn't want to pay 1900>>64648651The older 649s are pre lock, I know Paul Harrell's brother had a 649-5 on a vid recently but idr if it was pre lock, usually lock guns are -6 or later>>64650017Old taurus' and Rossi are made on old s&w tooling they were given/sold>>64650063Is this a 22? I haven't seen this model before, I have a top break h&r 999 that I love
>>64651678>I haven't seen this modelH&R Sportsman 999, 4".
>>64651689Well that's embarrassing, my excuse is the grips threw me off I thought it was a Taurus or Rossi lolYou ever get extraction issues? I find if I shoot certain brands of 22 like Winchester white box the cases bind too much in the cylinder and the cylinder works itself off the yoke instead of pulling the extractor I think it's to do with the wax coating they put on their rounds
>>64651723>the grips threw me offJust wait until I replace them with elk antler. Though, I would prefer a nice black Cape Buffalo horn.
No Zastava war crime revolver love?
>>64652056Looks clean, but did they literally just copy a Smith?
>>64652056Literally starter pistol-tier garbage.Just firing that thing is like a war crime inflicted upon the shooter.
>>64652064My starter was a tarus 605, on some trve starter pistol shit. This one has a double action longer pull, but def a smoother imo, but I definitely got a cleaner one from atlantic
>>64652063I think so, but some parts are unique, grip doesn't match any other revolvers and internals seem different, but dont have a direct comparison laying aroundMeant to combine both replied, L. New captcha is ass
>>64651801Damn dude that is fuckin CLEAN, awesome job
Thinking of getting the new 686 plus “mountain edition”, I know I’ll have to inspect them for standard SW cheapskate QC bullshit. Anything else to worry about?
>>64652789Nah just the typical cheapskate QC
Do any of you guys have experience with Smith and Wesson model 632/432s? They seem like a pretty good option for pocket carry, but I've heard that they have issues with QC.
for me? It's gotta be magnum research
>>64654798That’s good stuff right there I says
>>64652146>CLEANThanks.
Hah, fren just got a 5" .500SW. He says he likes it.
>>64648104Hell yeah, brother
>>64656805Sweet.

I was driving when https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e22cEMXganQ start playingNow I want to get my first revolver, is the Ruger New Model Blackhawk a good?
Do any of you anons run an optic on your revolver?
>>64656848Some people just are childish retardsWhat's worse, sometimes they breed before removing themselves from the gene pool. A shitty situation for everyone involved.
>>64660517>Ruger New Model Blackhawk a good?Yeah. So is the Redhawk.
Besides the 1860 Army snub nose and MKVI 2.5” Webley are there any actual revolvers that have this wedge/triangle profile?
>>64660578>run an optic on your revolverLeupold 2x.>>64650068
>>64656763Nice round butt
>>64648310Me too, I got 2 because of him (he was right)
>>64661913You just like saying that.
>>64661347Remington 1858 has a wedge shaped loading lever, and Remington 1875 has a wedge shaped piece that holds the base pin and extractor rod.

>>64662642>what isH&R 999 Sportsman. Never have gotten the 6" to match it. Next up fornit are elk antler grips from Sac Peterson. I may request 'no bark'.
I'm going to commit a taurus revolver next year
>>64660578I kinda want to get one of those cheap Olight red dots to throw on top of mine.
>>64662588What is that top gun???
>>64662522Heh…
>>64661347
Posting revolvers in revolver general
>>64662588The 1858 is sexy, but wish it was a 45 and not .44
>>64664477Checked
>>64663872It's a paintball gun!>>64664663It is. I literally have a .45 colt conversion cylinder installed in the photo.
>>64653182Those ones don’t have any more issues to my knowledge than any of the new S&W revolvers which is mostly just QC. They are gtg, just inspect it before buying but get one without the lock or remove it. I’ve seen them turn on twice under recoil in two different guns (model 66 and 686)Oh hell nah new captcha minigame
>>64664663Army caliber cap and balls are really 45 cal, same reason how 357 caliber is 38 caliber, they measured from the lands
>>64664477Checked>>64666052>It's a paintball gun!Kek'd. Would be super cool if it was real
>>64664663>>64666080Big goof on me then from just looking at what was on wiki. The 1858 has a robustness that I lover over the thinner support of the 1875.When I was looking at black powder and conversion cylinders a while back I just remember to make sure the frame is steel cause brass can’t handle smokeless powder
>>64648651Rhino 20ds trigger was second only to a classic Colt
>>64648355If for no other reason than they don't want to undervalue it. It is objectively Rugers' best gun.
>>64648651I am working myself up to get a King Cobra. They are under $800 at Dalonega and they don't charge tax.https://www.dahlonegaarmory.com/product/clt-king-cobra-carry-357mag-2-ss?source=gundeals
>>64648651Kimber k6s. Their snubbies can have some kick though if you're using high powered .357
>>64660517Yes, but I would consider the Redhawk since it has the double action function.
>>64648651>no internal lockask me how i know you have autism.
scratch that. i mean i bought a colt king cobra target.
>>64666311The 1875 frame is actually a lot beefier than the 1858. The 1858 has a big cutout for inserting balls, and the part where the loading lever goes through, so you end up with two spindley little arms connecting the lower half.>>64666090It would be. To be fair though, it's a pretty fun pb marker. Getting into stock class and weird shit like revolvers has really brought to fun back to paintball for me.
>>64666311Yeah brass is softer so it theoretically can stretch out faster than steel but that’s still over the course of thousands of rounds. I imagine that will go faster if you load hotter or heavier 45 colt bc pressure curve. Why not an 1873 colt or a 1875 Remington already natively in cartridge? The conversion cylinders for cap and balls are almost the same price as a peacemaker copy and your still stuck with needing to reload it all weird
>>64662955>I'm going to commit a taurus revolver next yearWhich one?
>>64666052>It's a paintball gun! Man, that looks like some kind of cool ass cyberpunk bastard child of a Webly and a 6 Unica. Honestly, it can't be impossible to make.
>>64667305did i fuck up i hear in general the king cobra target in 357 is a good gun but like anything else i see some complaints on the internet
>>64666618Idk I think the M77 is better. A control round feed Mauser action rifle with iron sights for $1,300 is based as fuck
I have been considering my first revolver and I think I might like to carry it. .38/.357 seems like a pretty good entry point and I have been looking at ballistics tests between the two. I'm noticing that .357 typically has better expansion in defensive loads but generally lower penetration while also having significantly more recoil and muzzle blast. It really seems like maybe a .38 Special or .38 Special +p load is really the way to go, despite >muh chronograph line go upCan anyone red pill me on .357 from a 2-3" revolver?
>>646674673" is the minimum for 357 and 357 hits hard that's the point it's like a punch from god
>>64667399>i see some complaints on the internetIt's totally a YMMV thing. From working in the restaurant industry, I remember a quote, IDK if it's numerically accurate, but they say that if you go to a place and have a good experience, you are likely to tell 2 or 3 people. If you have a bad experience you will tell 10 people.I guess my point is to maintain an positive outlook and deal with the bad stuff if it comes. You're 99% likely to be in for a great gun that runs fine.
>>64667467running .357 in such a short barrel is a fools errand. you get a marginal increase in velocity and a hefty increase in recoil. the only people that will tell you to run 357 in a short barrel don't shoot and are bench racing for the sake of feeling tough for running big boolet. it's just not worth the trade off. run 38+p and enjoy good velocity, penetration, and expansion while also being able to shoot more than a few cylinders worth of ammo before your hand gives up for the rest of your range day. personally i believe faster/accurate followup shots are more important than how "powerful" your first shot is in a defensive scenario, which is the what snubbies are made for.
>>64667399I just picked up a Cobra in 38+p for a good price. It does have some endshake that I dont love but I've yet to measure it with feeler gauges (will finally have time after work today). It looks in spec but had I paid full price I'd be a little miffed. At worst it will need to be shimmed, at best it's fine and I'll ignore it for the time being. That said everything else on it is fantastic, namely the trigger. DA is incredibly smooth, but I'd want to handle it in person first if I were you.
>>64667349I saw one conversion cylinder for like $200+ something. The only main benefit is with it being black powder it can ship directly to you
Hello, revolver freinds. I am norevolvers, but I think they are neat and I think I want to get one. Please post your favorite revolvers and tell me a little bit about them.I think I want a medium steel frame 2" .38 or .357, any suggestions would be appreciated. One of the first guns I ever shot was my friend's dad's Colt Detective Special and it was one of the best guns I've ever shot. At least I remember it that way.
>>64671192if you want them for concealed carry get a 32 hr, 327 fedmag, 38spl snubnoseget one with no keylock also get one with a internal hammer(double action only)make sure your gun can handle barn burner ammo, if not use medium powered wadcutters
>>64667467you can get a ruger snubnose 8 shot 357be harder to conceal but easy to shoot hot 357
>>64671192this is just OP replying to his own thread to drive engagement.
>>64671353>38spl snubnoseThat was my inclination. It seems. 357 isn't especially good from a snubby.>get one with no keylockIDK why, but I'm not that interested in Smiths. If I found a $250 J frame, I'd go for it, but I'm thinking Colt or Charter. >burner ammo, if not use medium powered wadcuttersAren't wadcutters especially under powered? I typically like heavy for caliber bullets in auto pistols so I was thinking 158 grain .38 Special. At snubbies bad for heavy bullets?>>64671406That's fine with me. I just want to chat about revolvers so I can learn more before I buy one. As long as it's reasonable advice, I'm happy to hear it.
>>64671406Meds
>>64671406This was the only thread in the entire catalog with OC and actual civil discourse. Why shit it up? Post revolver next time.
>>64671481not all wadcutters are weak punny ammosome are loaded warmer
S&B or magtec for .357? I picked up a zastava m83 revolver and swapped out the hammer spring for a 15# and so far it works great with federal 357 and winchester 38spl. Looking for some cheaper .357 than whats available in the stores around me
>>64671710Magtech for revolver ammo, S&B for pistol ammo
>>64671739thanks
>>64671710I must recommend blazer 357 ammo, cheap as shit, but its the second strongest I've found besides bear loadsHeard their wasn't much exchangability with m83 parts, any issues with this?

>>64671548Bubba's hottest pissin' loads won't do you any good if you can't control the gun.
>>64670691Measured my barrel/cone gap and end shake on the Colt and it seems to surprisingly not only be well within spec, but much tighter than I anticipated. The endshake does bother me still so I will keep an eye on it to see if it worsens.
>>64672218Well, that's good, but I'm not surprised.I'd go ahead and order them so you don't have to wait when you need them. They are cheap and don't take up much room.
>>64652056>>64652084How do you like that beast? I nearly picked one up just because I have pistols in all the common auto calibers but no revolver and I want something that can shoot 357/38. Everyone on here was saying they were shit but it looks better than a Taurus to me.
Are revolver cartridges ever going to get shorter?
>>64667359I would be all over the 3" 692 if it had a fluted cylinder. I just do not care for the unfinished look of a smooth cylinder. Otherwise it checks just about every box I could want in a revolver of that form factor, with the added benefit of a spare 9mm cylinder for cheaper range plinking.
>>64671710no such thing as cheap .357, even 38 costs as much as 5.56
>>64671805>>64672125Excuse me chuds, he declared himself competent with guns one handed now, so you can stop lying. Those are clearly all bullseyes.
>>64660578I've thought about making a space revolver. I hate the looks of most modern revolvers, but there are some set-ups that tickle my fancy. The R8 with a red dot and flashlight that runs flush with the muzzle looks quite nice. It wouldn't be too hard to get.
>>64672679No, only longer. We must secure the existence of revolvers and a future for wheelguns, and therefore cartridge should never be small enough to fit into a grip magazine.
>>64648104Asked in another thread, but does anyone know if changing an Enfield No2 Mk1 in DAO to DA/SA just takes a hammer swap? Not sure if there are any glaring issues with this. The markings are shallow, so I'm unsure if it's a Mk1* or Mk1**. The gun has no collector's value by the way (it's been bubba'd by importers) so I'm not too worried about devaluing it.
>>64676273Without being overly familiar with the internal workings of those guns, I would assume so. Not sure if it was originally a DA/SA that someone just bobbed the hammer spur off of, or if it was a true DAO hammer. what's the sear surface like on the hammer? is there a single action sear position? I'm thinking if so it should probably just need a replacement hammer that has a usable spur.
>>64674603Ugly af.

I handload for my .357 but I don't want to splurge on magnum powder, will max loads with mid-slow burning pistol powder cause more wear and forcing cone erosion than a full case of magnum powder?
During the Lord of the Rings film trilogy, Legolas only speaks directly to Frodo once, saying "And my bow." Why? Did he hate hobbits?
>>64671406Plot twist: THIS is actually OP, too
>>64679093https://youtu.be/UOrSHb_TSH4IDK, but 6" seems to be a sweet spot for factory loads. You could have a pretty good time developing loads that suit the gun you want/have.
>>64685199>will max loads with mid-slow burning pistol powder cause more wear and forcing cone erosion than a full case of magnum powder?So, I'm not super up on the international ballistics of revolver cartridges, but if they are anything like bolt guns, your main enemy is chamber pressure, which basically equivalents to heat.That being said, my GUESS would be that a slower burning powder would reduce max pressure and therefore heat at the forcing cone and distribute it more evenly along the length of the barrel. On the other hand, a life of studying physics and engineering has taught me that things make sense until you realize there is something you haven't considered. The unknown unknown, as we call it, so I would be interested to hear a more experienced, or lacking that, educated answer.
>>64688198>international ballisticsKMFS
>>64688198You’ve got it pretty much exactly backwards. H110 is considered a slow powder for pistols. it’s extremely powerful for what it does though and works great in magnum revolver loads. But it’s still burning as it passes the forcing cone which can cause erosion. If your really worried about erosion on the forcing cone you load fast burning powder with heavier projectiles loaded to slower velocities. Lighter projectiles are gonna require more powder and end up with more gas escaping past the forcing cone…. Heavy and slow is about the best you can do… but honestly unless you have a very old or poorly made revolver, or your running constant nuclear hot loads then your not all that likely to run into forcing cone erosion..
>>64671548wowa 20 inch group at 5 fucking yards, I can see the shadow of where the target is. You've lied about shooting "good groups at 25 yards one handed" but then post this.

My cowpoke revolvers
nogunz poorfag here, any thoughts on the Taurus Tracker for my first? Looking for a good /out/ gun/range toy and I think this will check all my boxes, just want to hear from someone with experience if it's a good choice.
>>64690828Nice collection
>>64692587I'd save up a little more and get a Ruger.
>>64692587It's fine. Probably better for you to get a relatively inexpensive revolver for woods carry in case you drop it, or it gets submerged in water and not properly dried out, or it gets lost somewhere after a hiking accident, or you are forced to use it on a homeless man and need to melt it with thermite to destroy the murder evidence.
i am really enjoying .32 HR mag but man new SW quality control is trasheverything is so gritty and the surfaces grind on each other in mostly cosmetic ways so far. how are sp101s in 327 quality wise? smooth?
>>64671481>>64671353i am loving 100 gr high desert wadcutters and JHPs in .32 hr magthe recoil is extremely soft. half the recoil of standard pressure 38 with more or less .38+p ballistics/effect. federal 85g jhps get like 20" of penetration too. deeper penetration but slightly less cavitation in gel than 38+p but there wasnt much in the first place so it's all shot placement. you get 6 rounds and while QC is hit or miss with SW now that's the industry standard and the 632UC has great grips.for a 16oz gun, half the recoil of .38 with 38+p tier performance is great. if you get an SP101 which i might you can use buffalo bore's hot .32 mag loads which are .30 super carry tier. might need to send this off a gunsmith for an action job but it works fine just meh jeet quality control compared to old SW but that's every company now for the most part. highly recommend the cartridge though.for what extra power 38 gives you over .32 its only a little and frankly not worth the recoil, hand pain and loss of an extra bullet when you get faster and more accurate follow up shots and still in the 38+p category of overall effectiveness with the right loads
>>64694172only real downside is the ammo is expensive but you can train with 32 long from sellier and bellot since they hit about point of aim tooi enjoy the grips and actual iron sights and the ability to put this in a coat pocket and do anything with it. holster or no holster. very easy to be armed in those moments you'd normally leave your gun at home and you're not underarmed by any means either and your hand isn't going to get raped like with a .38+p in an airweight
>>64694164I have one of the new 3" barrel ones with the half lug, its OK but has sticky extraction on standard pressure factory .327s. I really should send it into Ruger and see if they'll polish the chambers under warranty.
>>64695386how smooth is it overall? modern sw is gritty as fuckit works but there's issuesi don't plan to touch .327, 32hr is perfect
Anyone have experience with the Chiappa Rhino? I am toying with the idea of getting one for the lulz, and maybe to carry if I end up liking/trusting it enough.
442 ccw carrier here. am i missing out on anything with a jframe with an exposed hammer with you guys? Even for just paper killing work?
Anything worth buying in 38 spl? Inherited a good bit of ammo and the only gun I got with it was a S&W airweight. I don't like it at all.
>>64696403bunch of white ones in 6inch at the store. look like destiny guns. A few blown up pictures of barrels on the internet thats about it.
>>64650017I used to have one of these back in the mid 90s. I didn’t hang on to it because I thought they’d always be around and I could always get another one. Man, was I wrong.
>>64674603lol...your revolver weighs as much as an AR pistol.
>>64696391It's alright but the mainspring is real heavy so consider a Wolff spring kit.
>>64696460Getchu a used Model 10
>>64696438Not really, it's a j frame, it's meant to be a CC gun and you aren't going to cock the hammer in a self defense shooting.>>64696460Just get a full size in .357 or .38 from a reputable manufacturer. S&W Model 10s used to be the meta but the copsurp mostly dried up. I'd suggest finding something $300-500. Taurus is usually g2g. I would recommend looking at the Bass Pro Shop/Cabelas used section on their website if you have one of those stores close by, you can get those shipped to your store.>>64696482You have to be in your late 50s at least.

>>64698530i'm considering an sp101 just for higher quality control because there are some light strike and trigger issues with the SW guns but it's extremely compact and handy and has 0 recoil

>>64690163>Actually it's because Orlando Bloom hated Elijah Wood and refused to speak to him beyond that one line. Rumor has it that Bloom auditioned for the part of Leo Biederman in Deep Impact and was incensed that Wood received it insteadI did not know this. But yes, Wood stunk in Deep Impact
>>64671481snubs are fine for heavy bullets. tho i'd be sure to get a 357mag not for actually shooting 357 but regular heavy +P 38s. stuff like 170gr keith semiwadcutters, old FBI/treasury loads etc. would recommend ruger but for their fit and finish they're really not worth the price. or just get a 380acp pistol bc revolvers are kinda shit ask me how i know.
First of all, there are shit semiauto pistols, too. As far as one or the other, why not both? Who is the fool that says>only revos>only slidersSome kinda slack jawed faggot, I'd say.
What should I know before buying one of these?I know. 45 LC is a meh cartridge, but I want an old style revolver for vibes and I like the top break way more than the loading gate and ejector rod.
>>64698848What if I'm extremely autistic?
>>64698758Never said I was an addict. Calm down Dr. Drew
>>64699594Then you don't need to ask permission. You know what must be done.
>>64699862>Never said I was an addictStay living in denial, pothead. You will die alone doper.
>>64699495Also interested in one of these just for funsies. I don't even have any other 45 LC guns. My bear gun is a 10mm. Someone talk me out of it. I already have a top break Iver Johnson 22 that is inaccurate as shit but it's just so fun I can't help but bring it with me into the woods.
>>64699897Never said anything about pot. Im happily married. Project much boomer?
>>64699937Yeah, I'm on an "adventure" kick and I am putting together an entire pre WW2 outdoors kit, so all leather and canvas. I even have a storm lantern. Right now my rifle is a K-98 (1935) and a 1911, but I'm wanting to move the date back even more. I want to move to a .45 LC pistol and either a .45 LC leaver gat or a .45-70 Sharps or Springfield or other retardedly long single shot.I just don't want to get a No. 3 and find out something bad about it after I get it.
>>64700191>pre WW2 outdoors kitMy brother. Ive been dieing for an old .38 like an M&P or Official Police for this same reason, I wanna be an Indiana Jones who also carries a rifle so bad
>>64700204(Me)Took this one too, though this is less adventurer and more local woodsman
>>64700217(Me)I might as well through this one in too
>>64696403They’re finally coming out with a .44 version in 2026.
>>64700204>>64700217>>64700239Woah! That's some pretty neat gear. I'm just starting to get interested in this area of fire arms collecting, but .38s like that are pretty common. It looks like a Colt New Service can be had for under a G.
>>64700329>thumb rest to prevent burns from cylinder gap>trigger guard clearly designed to rest index fingerWhat did they mean by this bros
>>64698826hop said snubs are stupid
>>64700372>trigger guard clearly designed to rest index fingeryou're not supposed to actually do that. its just pistol design tradition to keep the finger groove
>>64700409what does hope know about snubs anyway
>>64700426It was changed from the og rhino design, see picrel>>64696403

>>64700409>but muh yoo toober said...Dumbass.
>>64696403Gross. If there were an upper bbl for duplex shooting (2 shots).
>>64700372no nosepicking allowed
>>64700409Hop and assfacts have also admitted they completely suck at shooting revolvers.
>>64700352Sadly I live in NJ where handguns are very annoying to get, so Ive just been focused on rifles and shotguns for now. Ive really been dreaming of finding an early 7mm Mauser sporter I can set up as a perfect adventurers rifle. 7mm was all over the place in South America, and was very popular for hunting in British colonies, so alot of Africa, the Middle East, and India, as well as being decently popular in America at the time. A kind of "go anywhere in the world" scout rifle, but circa liek 1930
>>64701948Sticking to the thread though, yeah Id adore a New Service, basically any like "pulp" revolver or handgun that works as something youd see on the cover of something called like Jungle Adventure while also fitting on like Crime Capers Weekly. A 1911 would be pretty nice though, cause it really covers alot of duty for the various 20th century aesthetics I love. Like I can go from Indiana Jones larp to noir private eye to 70s detective all with just a stock 1911
>>64701948>I live in NJBig oof. The best place I know there is the area north of Allen town boarding New York.I moved out of New England to the mid South as a kid and I'm quite happy about that.>7mm MauserI got a mil spec Swedish Mauser in 6.5 and it's fantastic. It my oldest gun in terms of manufacture date and it has the same bullet diamer as 6.5 Sneed More, but with a lot more case volume, so it is easy to find projectiles for, if you are into reloading. While it is a pretty ancient cartridge, I guess it didn't gain popularity in the civilian market until after the war.>>64701964>the cover of something called like Jungle Adventure while also fitting on like Crime Capers Weekly.You seem like a pretty cool dude.>A 1911 would be pretty nice though, cause it really covers alot of duty for the various 20th century aesthetics I love. Like I can go from Indiana Jones larp to noir private eye to 70s detective all with just a stock 1911That's literally why I got one. I have modern guns for anything serious, but I really want a wheel gun. I have been reading a lot of The Black Mask magazine, which is full of detective and adventure stories, perhaps most famously those by Raymond Chandler and Dashell Hammond creators of legendary P.I.s Philip Marlow and Sam Spade respectively, so I have been eyeballing. 38 snubbies, too. It is also at least part of the reason for the 1911, but I am really liking those old No. 3 horse pistols. Oh well, I'm not made of money, so it will be a long time before I get one, but it's always fun to chat with like minded individuals about this stuff on the old internets.https://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/webbin/serial?id=blackmask

>>64700191>western stuffDude, literally same. I just wish I could be satisfied with the stuff I have. My newest gun is a 45 SAA, and I’ve barely shot it. I have more guns than I know what to do with, and honestly I’d just like to get rid of like 90% of them. I think I have a genuine problem. Like I’m always after “the next one”. In my head I have this fantasy of “oh that would be so sick to have a rabbit ear 12 gauge or an 1897 Winchester.”; but as soon as I get x, y, or z- it quickly becomes apparent to me that I literally just spent x amount of money on something I’m just going to look at. I hate it.

>>64704927Lol, that's just good old gunsooming. I like shopping for and buying new guns, but there really aren't any in the collection I have any desire at to to get rid of.>No sell, only buy!I like western stuff, but not exclusively. I'd like a Martini Henry or something, but reproductions aren't readily available and they ammo is rare as shit too.
>>64676746Just took it apart, it looks like a true DAO hammer. The sear still seems pronounced, but there's no SA notch on the hammer to catch it, so they just slide against each other. I'm guessing just a hammer swap to one with a SA notch would work?Also excuse the dirty gun, it's covered in flaking suncorite and rust. I'm waiting to give it a proper refinish.

Thoughts on 22LR revolver for concealed carry? I know rimfire isn't as reliable but in revolver format with quality ammo would it be viable?Looking at the Taurus 942 or Ruger LCR/LCRx.If not 22LR then 9mm since it would be cheaper than 38sp to train with?

>>64706727IDK, seems better than embracing the modern z0i cuck bullshit.
>>64704965how do you like it? one of the most beautiful handguns out there. been really considering picking up one of the newer no lock ones
Should I get a Ruger SP101 or GP100 in 357?
>>64711225what are you going to do with it
>>64711225GP100 no question, the SP101 is just not as good feeling during each trigger pull, and hot .357 is much more easy to shoot out of it.
>>64648150>>64648182this. My Wrangler is fun as hell.
>>64711225GP100. It was my first gun and its an absolute unit. Recently hit the range for new years and was hitting targets at 100 yards with some puny .38 special.
Purchased this 38 Long Colt Spanish revolverfor $50 at the local Gun Show. It has an issue with chambering and the hammer doesn't lock. I'm taking it to a gunsmithing friend who is going to give it the once over and hopefully fix it. I'm not planning on making it a shooter, but for blanks. Another friend who does French resistance for ww2 reenacting is intrested.
>>64710552Not the poster of this gun but I own a 6in 19-3 and I fucking love that gun. Best $550 i ever spent on a magnum. K frame and target grips are just mint. Even at 50 yards away I can still hit dead center mass. And funny enough I could have traded it for a ww2 P38 with original holster and extra mag. They are worth it. Now I want an 8in model 29.
Just want to run this by /rg/.1967 no dash model 36 light strikes only in double action.It's not the firing pinIt's not the springIt's not end shakeIt's probably not side plate friction All these things are in spec or have been corrected to spec. Hypothesis: New Republic slavshit ammo and over lubrication is the culprit. It leaves yellow grey specs of unburnt powder in the chamber. Gun has never failed on first cylinder. Light strikes always work on second strike. The light strikes are being caused by these grains sticking to the inside of the star or rim of the chambers and cushioning the first strike. This happened in the second cylinder after second test with new factory spec spring. This happened only after an entire box with extra power spring to the Hornady ammo (the slavshit caused the critical defense to fail?)Question: is it likely that the 9 pound spring is unnecessary and that a complete cleaning and degreasing followed by minimal oiling (so the star and chamber rims remain dry) and NEVER using slavshit in this gun again might make it reliable to carry? Leave the 9 pound spring in anyway? Also I bought the Ruger but I'm still considering the Smith as a New York reload plus the single action trigger is really really good.
>>64709548It's probably fine if you don't live in the ghetto. Despite what the rest of /k/ says outside rg, almost no civilians get in any John wick shootouts. I've recently started pocket carrying my NAA mini .22wmr if I'm going somewhere I know is safer than average. Honestly I love carrying less weight. It's never misfired, but about 1/10 tumbles out fyi. I don't consider it a big issue, since I wouldn't want to get gutshot by a .22 doing cartwheels anyway. Paul Harrell said NAA mini is what his dad always carried. Obviously things were much safer and Whiter back then fwiw.Typically I appendix carry a Taurus 605 .357.
>>64711227Need a new conceal carry pistol and I can't find any LCRs in .357 for a good price so I'll just lean into the SP101 or GP100.>>64711233Do you CC your GP100?>>64711317Looks like fun anon!
>>64714497>Do you CC your GP100? Nope, I’ll carry my Desert Eagle though once it’s cold enough, can’t beat 31 rounds of .357 mag!
>>64711303Mine would be fun if the damned base pin wouldn't pop out every 5 shots or so.
>>64714517.357 out of a desert eagle has always struck me as a waste when you can shoot .44 or even .50 African Eliminator out of it. you can load 10mm to .357 energies and it will be more reliable and easier to conceal than a desert eagle.
>>64698158Mr Hands molests children, Anon.Hence the name.
I bought a SAA in 45 and I gotta be honest- I think I’m a 30 caliber kinda guy.
>>64714295thanks for the response based anon. I was actually also looking at the NAAs as well.
>>64714883Why do you say that? I think both are fine.
>>64714883.45 on the hip with a .30 in the hand is the way of the Arizona Ranger
/pmg/ checking in
>>64711225Get both, The sp101 for carry and the GP100 for shooting bubba hot .357's. Then get another SP101 in .327 fed.
>>64716907Honestly this.
Clean happy girls. I can't decide what to get next. Save up for a 5" RedhawkCap and ballOr whatever wood handled 4-6" .357 I find locally.
>>64717565I vote Redhawk What caliber?
Probably .357 since I already have a big stack and am familiar with it. Besides which we don't have grizzlies down here.
>>64715235I carry one as a backup pocket carry. Maximum convince, but underpowered and takes a ton of practice.
>>64717565Redhawk, get it in 44 mag. I had a 5 inch blued and it was nice but I traded it for a 7.5 inch blued because I wanted more velocity. They are both awesome guns but I noticed a difference with the 7.5 in barrel which better suites my needs for putting hole in steel. The 5 inch was better to carry around which I didn't do with my 44mag anyways since I lug my .357 instead. Also if you go with the redhawk get some bigger grips for it the stock woods they come with are tiny and hard to grip.
>>64714567That’s because you’ve never shot one, it’s amazingly controlled and accurate, .50 is just a wrist wrecker and the .44 mag barrel I have jams after 3 mags, while .357 mag is perfectly reliable for at least 4 50 round boxes before some oil and or cleaning is needed.
>>64717750Do you have the "grip holster" on it or just regular grip? I saw they have swing out ones and the Scholfield style "Ranger II" as well. I would want the conversion so I could spam practice 22lr
>>64718077A 50 ae desert eagle is only a wrist wrecker if you’ve never tried a revolver in hot calibers….
>>64718654Just the standard in .22lr. I've only heard bad things about the conversions.
Alright so I probably sound like a silly billy, but Ive been thinking lately about a little carry gun for the sole purpose of carrying around the farm rain or shine to just plink and carry on my side all the time, and run black powder through just because why not- I love black powder.I love .38 but here’s the deal- I have a couple 38 revolvers. One is my grandpa’s old m&p 1905 target model which I absolutely love, but it’s kinda sentimental to me. The other is a snub nose Taurus, and I don’t like it.So my question to you anons is- should I just run my grandpas old m&p or should I buy an old police trade in model 10? What’s your honest take on this? I’ll admit I know it’s kinda dumb having guns just to keep nice, but man..
>>64650059Perfection.
>>64718654Mine is a sidewinder. I've heard the break top has issues with guys accidentally opening it with their thumb when trying to cock the hammer.
>>64720158>>64719175copy thx!
>>64715856i love how you pmg types all have 10k or less in physical metals then try to flex online like thats any better than nogs posting pics of their cash
>>64719202>I’ll admit I know it’s kinda dumb having guns just to keep nice, but man..Guns that you have just to keep nice are called "safe queens" because they just sit in your safe and look pretty. There's a name for them because a hell of a lot of people have them. (I've got a couple myself.)Keep the 1905 model in the safe, and get the old model 10 to carry, if that's what you feel like doing.
>>64720158I've got a ranger 2 and have never once accidently opened the gun while cooking the hammer. I actually took it shooting yesterday too. The rounds land a bit high when shooting 22lr through the conversion cylinder.
Finally took my SP101 shooting after fixing it up. I was able to do 1.5 inch groups at 10 yards DAO and sights were dead on with Federal 357 mag HSTs. (Which is what got that best 1.5 inch group. That shit is perfect!) I am super happy with it! Got its first powder burns on the cylinder from my pissin' hot handloads too.
>>64721356I think you may be right, honestly. I’ll think on it a little while. I may or may not change my mind about the 1905, cause it’s not pristine or anything; just sentimental. Anybody know what model 10’s go for in pawn shops these days?
I know gun shows are almost always shit these days, but is it still possible to find old revolvers in decent shape at them?
Anons, I’m curious. So between 38 Special and 45 colt, what do you honestly prefer and why?
Should I buy this shit? Everyone says it's fun to shoot because you can larp as a cowboy but I can get lever action rifle for the same price and that would be even more fun I guess.
>>64724236Do you want to saw yee hah or do you want to say howdy partner?
>>64724236I personally hate to shoot, load, unload, aim, cock, hold, and generally handle these tiny-gripped pieces of shit but it’s a piece of Americana so I respect it anyways, you do you, but I can’t personally stand them.
>>64724363have you tried an 1860 Army conversion
could anyone share insight on handgun caliber revolvers?getting a 10mm revolver and moon clipping .40 seems rad but I'd really rather stick to a 9mm just for that extra shot at the very leastlooking at a Taurus 692 with the 9mm cylinder
>>64723953Depends entirely on what you're doing with it.Pocket carry? .38 spl.Long range target shooting? .357 mag.Rootin' tootin' backwoods larpin'? .45 colt.>>64724236>gunYes.>>64725052I have a 9mm cylinder for my 1875, mostly because it's cheap to feed. Unless you're already set up for shooting a lot of 10mm/.40 I don't see any reason to go there with a revolver.
>>64722443>Anybody know what model 10’s go for in pawn shops these days?Same as on GunBroker because that's their reference for guns just as Ebay is for everything else they're selling.
>>64724307>pic related>>64724363>>64725202Well, yeah it's a gun and I like guns. It's just that I am a bit worried I will shoot it couple of times and then put it away or just fingerfuck it while watching some western movies at best.
>>64725931Well I don't know about you, but single action revolvers are my favorite guns to shoot.
>>64726476Yeah, I fucking love single actions. Everything is so manual. It feels like you are operating the gun rather than just pushing a button over and over like with striker slop. I actually carry my Blackhawk sometimes just because I think it's cool. They also make great fidget toys while working. A lot of the time I unload my Blackhawk and just play with it, Spin it, and just listen to all the clicky clocky noises the action makes.
Do I get a 22lr King cobra target for 700, or a 22 lr AL22 for 600?
>>64718038>had a 5 inch blued and it was nice but I traded it for a 7.5 inch blued because I wanted more velocityDid it really make a difference?
>>64726619>A lot of the time I unload my Blackhawk and just play with it, Spin it, and just listen to all the clicky clocky noises the action makes.>t.
>>64667294Is it because I have autism?
>>64724236Buy both in the same caliber. Plan ahead and save up.
