Why do I need a 8in barreled revolver?

[ed1838]

I don't have one is not good enough for my wife.

More accuracy, which is an increase in safety for bystanders.

More velocity for the round, which is a savings over buying hotter ammo.

It is a great conversation starter if you OC, allowing for more opportunities to be an ambassador for normalizing the carry of firearms.

Also increased chances to meet new friends and or business associates that are more like minded to yourselves.

It's probably cheaper than a motorcycle / truck.

I will run that by her. I already have a motorcycle although didn't ride it much last year year it hurts my back. So maybe a need new one of them also.

Tell her if you don't get one that's OK as you'll have more time to spend with her... I'm guessing that will change her tune.

Well there is always a few other comments about 8" that could be made that would likely get her to want him to spend more time at the range...

'Cause nine inch would be too much for the wife.

 

[ed1838]

I should watch what I say she might want something bigger.

Let me know how that goes.

Well, I have an 8 3/8" S&W 29/629 I might be willing to part with, if that extra 3/8" is what it takes to seal the deal!
Think of it as an 8 inch "turned up to eleven."

 

[armalitesheepdog]

No other reason than you just want the thing. I have several guns that serve no real purpose other than I just wanted it.

 

[Bugzilla]

Why not?

Why stop there?

That did not go as planned. I now have a list of MAN stuff that needs done around the house.

Ahhh, ya beat me to it!!

An 8 3/8" bbl S&W M629 balances and feels lighter than you'd think. At 1 time I would have thought it was it was a just for looks kind of gun, and too big to practically shoot. Not so.

The prop from the movie pops up on auction sites every few years... gun https://entertainment.ha.com/itm/mo...d-wesson-revolver-from-batman/a/997066-1543.s

 

[BigRed]

Because it's almost as cool as a hand gun with a 9 inch barrel.

 

[Hookeye]

I told mine I was hunting and shooting before I met her.....will while shes here......and will when shes gone.

She left

I buy whatever i want. Its awesome.
But Ive always been pretty practical.....so should never have gotten complaints.

Dunno if I ever really did. Dont care to remember one way or the other.

 

[Hookeye]

Im logical so never subscribed to explaining my purchases to anybody.
Certainly never asked for permission to purchase either.

Others run their house as they see fit.

Cant condemn or congratulate folks, as Ive been single for 20 yrs.

People need to vet their women better. Mine thinks a man buys guns, bikes, camping equipment, and fishing gear. And that I am supposed to use them as often as I want. You knew what you were marrying and did it anyways. Suck it up and get your chores done.
