How do we make this relevant in the 21st century?
>>65159138Has there been any improvement in revolver technology (other than metallurgy and precision) in the last 50 years?
>>65159144I can't really think of anything else beyond small stuff like grip profiles, optic cuts, and ported barrels. They've been around for a while, so I guess we're just honing in on what an "optimal" double action revolver is at this point.
>>65159138Heres ur modernized revolver bro.
>>65159138>Webley-Fosbery + Nagant suppression thing
>>65159138Belt style cylinder, that cycles on a timing belt to hold more rounds in a similar overall size
>>65159144Ergonomics. The Chiappa Rhino, regardless of what you think about their build quality, is king in terms of actual shootability.
>>65159138carry a couple-few spare rounds in re-worked grip.Make barrel fairly easy to swap out to make good use of 357 with skeleton stock.
>>65159138You don't. It is fucking obsolete. There are pistols out there more accurate and more deadly with added benefit of higher capacity. Maybe if you want to larp as a cowboy or civil war officer.
>>65159138>model 20No.But .357 is great if you’re black bear country. The last true realm of revolvers are the big fuck-off .44, .454, .460, .500 cartridges for dangerous game defense without having to carry a rifle.
Combine the Nagant gas-seal mechanism with a Mateba autoloading system. The latter gets rid of the Nagant's weakness of long heavy trigger pull. The Nagant makes the revolver suppressible, which is a must for guns in current year. This will never happen, nor will we even get just a Mateba or a Nagant again, so it's all cope.
>>65159138>how do we make this relevantThat is a fundamentally stupid question. Quality revolvers have always been fantastic weapons. Nobody with a brain pistol-hunts game with a semi. And I'm not the only oldfag who thinks the world would be better served if cops were forced to use them instead of the shit-tier hicap plasticshits they're slinging zillions of rounds out into the public with now.
>>65159249>more accurateThat claim is completely full of shit, jackass.
>>65159138Put bullets in it, then it's as relevant as any other handgun (useless).
>>65159138duct tape it to a drone.
>>65159138Is still relevant in states with gun control
>>65159271A 500 S&W is a bad mother fucker but I honestly don't think it's doing much more than a hot 44 magnum will at stopping a polar bear.Imagine a Mateba in 500 but made by a competent company like Janz. Wew lad.
>>65159138You could redesign it by ditching the cylinder and instead have a magazine fed semi automatic action
>>65160337Post a semi without a reciprocating slide that can handle the chamber pressure.
>>65159138I just don't understand how S&W can come out with the R8 revolver and just do nothing with the concept afterwards. Increased capacity, moon clip feeding, accessory rail...it's got so much going for it only for the gun to stagnate for decades. Even stuff like removable barrels, like with Dan Wesson revolvers, would be a great way to do stuff that semis couldn't do.As mentioned already, for now it looks like revolvers are only truly relevant in the realm of the pocket gun (J Frame) or big bore stuff for hunting.
>>65160340a coonan
>>65160340>>65160365sorry i read that as 'with' a reciprocating slide, not 'without' my bad
>>65160329It's got a lot more power than a hot 44mag. But I get the same feeling anyways.
The only answer is to keep buying them, they'll keep making them for as long as people ask for them.
>>65159138Debatably in an era where everyone wants red dots on their pistols the revolver is more relevant than ever, but glockfags would sooner gut their mother than admit mounting a red dot to a static frame is a better idea than putting it on a moving slide
>>65159277Im not even that old and i believe this. AR in the car, 357 on the hip. I also feel like 90% of shooters would do well forcing themselves to train on double action revolvers. It has made my pistol shooting immeasurably better.
>>65161025In the same way throwing from the 3 point line helps your game, it's getting people to do something they know will be harder that's difficult. Irons are gradually being sidelined for that same logic.
>>65159138S&W has a 8 shot 357 with a decent trigger. I think trigger and round count are the only respectable things keeping revolvers from being big again. Well and price. For me it's an old school charter arms undercover.
I always wanted to make a revolver myself, maybe hand timed or something
>>65160955Alternatively, stop buying them and all of a sudden they'll start making better ones
>>65159138They're more relevant than ever because of the push for all these retarded magazine cap laws.If I'm going to get cucked out of 17 rounds of 9mm, I'm just going to load 6 rounds of fuck you .357 mag
It’s never gonna not be relevant if you’re a criminal, it doesn’t leave shell casings behind
>>65159271>makes the revolver suppressibleAll revolvers are suppressible>but muh cylinder gapstill quieter with a can than it was before
>>65160340There's a couple .50 pistols. Maybe a fuck-huge Ruger mkiv? That lower bore firing sounds cool until you see the damage to foreign hand when a failure happens... It's much much worse. What about side by side cylinders with a lever that changes over to the other one? It would look like a penis and people would make jokes and it would be large. Either that or two barrels side by side with two cylinders, but it would be novelty. Maybe a second barrel that's a single shot of a diff caliber? I liked the nagant n weird auto loading ones. There's that m47 Medusa that fires tons of calibers... Different length barrels are nice. Extra large calibers that I can put conversion inserts into and just change the barrel would be awesome, especially if it had a quick swap mechanism. Anyone ever attempt a bullpup revolver? Anyone recently make a good NAA revolver sized double action?
That was supposed to be damage to *firing* hand
>>65161398Mobs supposedly would damp a rag and wrap it around the gap part, loosen their hands grip on the towel when pulling the hammer back.
>>65159138Features I want in a pistol>concealable>threaded barrel option>capacity comparable to other popular carry guns>optics mount>rails for lights and lasers>holsters and other aftermarket like gripsSo if you can produce me a P365 size revolver and enough chambers accordingly it would be relevant and maybe even preferable because the revolving cylinder is better than a pistol slide. I think ideally it would be automatically cocking but still be able to fire double action. But no one makes such a gun and it probably isn't worth the effort when everyone is just going to carry a Glock 43x which weighs way less anyway.
>>65159138By shooting someone with it, I suppose.
