Revolvers: Boring, Antiquated, and Stupid

[gregkl]

Fun video. Makes me want to break out my "wheelguns"!

 

[Leadeye]

That's a good story about the 686, sometimes things just find they're way back.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Loved the video, and love my revolvers!

 

[Deet]

Love revolvers. I have a S&W model 65, and a Ruger Police service six.

My 20 year old self is just so darn old. I need to throw my .357 and my 642 in the trash and get a glock like all the cool kids.

AS others have said, once you get a good wheelgun, it quickly moves up the list among "last to be sold"

I think my GP100 (probably my 7th handgun, most have been sold) is one that will stay around indefinitely

 

[Dog1]

He is so right, they suck.

 

[ghitch75]

i think there over rated.....

Anyone that thinks revolvers are "boring" has never pulled the trigger on a Raging Bull .454 Casull.

I have done the same, this Model 12 was in sad shape when I got it...

and now it looks much better...

Are you for hire? I have a S&W 36-1 that is heavily pitted that could use some TLC. It was my late father's and in the end he got forgetful and when I found it it was in sad shape, wrapped in a silicone reel rag. Ive cleaned it up but would eventually love to get it back to good condition.

im a wheel gun fan but im not affraid to depend on a quality semi auto either.

Only one revolver in the stable, but I've always thought they were good looking.

As far as the video, I don't mind the text. YM has a sense of humor that I appreciate and half of it is the messages you read.

I sold my Ruger Bisley .44mag to an INGO'er when I got laid off from the machine shop. I miss her so much, I dream about her from time to time.

 

[Snapdragon]

Contact them. You never know if they are thinking about getting rid of it. It worked out for me that way.

Dang it bw, you had to post a video with a Detective Special in it.

I had a well worn one for about a year before some P.O.S. stole it. I miss it like crazy. The insurance company replaced it with a S&W Bodyguard, but it just isn't the same.

I met up with a fellow INGO'er and got to shoot one of those a couple of months back. I can see why you miss her!

I love me some wheel guns. Also YM does have a sense of humor that I too appreciate.
Good video, thanks for posting it.

Sorry...don't work on anyone's firearms but my own these days. When Dad and I closed the shop we carried the liability insurance for 24 months just to CYA but that has long expired and wouldn't work on another persons gun without it.

As someone that cut their teeth on and carried revolvers and now teach autos one slight criticism from this Youtube video. The same thumb over thumb aka high thumb hold so popular with autos theses days is not really the best for wheelguns. Shooters using that grip have a real risk of getting their support thumb burnt from some of the gases that exit the sides at the front of the cylinder. The smaller the revolver the more risk you run.

They don't call a revolver grip a revolver grip for nothing. Just sayin!
