Is 6 enough for self defence? I'm interested about getting

>>28329262
158gr gold dot is my preference
6 is fine
carry a speed loader and practice your reload often if you have doubts
the one in your pic holds 8 though

I could be wrong, but im pretty sure the "largest" round you can legal carrry in a pistol is .45acp.

If i had a wheel gun id go .357 magnum, or .460 s&w

That being said-pending someone knowing if im wrong or not- it doesnt make sense to only cary 6 rounds with modern double stack mags. But ya, 6 should do it with 1-2 aggressors.

If you manage to shoot like a guy from the gign yes.

I carry my Webley, and I have no problems

Barrel no larger than .45

Does that include .45colt and .460 rowland?

>>28329338
Yesssss
I wanted to post that but I didn't want to be called a fag
Was wanting to get one in .357 and have it as a carry on

>>28329393
that's for oklahoma only. why the fuck would you assume OP is in oklahoma?

>carry on

that gun is in battlefield hardline

and to answer your question OP, it depends on your aim and your attackers

theoretically 6 shots can take down 6 attackers if you hit each one square in the chest, and you're unlikely to be attacked by a group of more than 6 attackers unless you're some kind of kingpin

however, i'd still be happier with 19 rounds of 9mm if i'm going to be carrying a heavy piece of hardware (pic related)

i guess the appeal of revolvers is that youre not spraying brass everywhere, otherwise i don't see the point.

But to be related to the topic, I was thinking about getting a little snubby Chiappa Rhino with a 2" barrel for EDC. What do you guys think?

>>28329992

>>28329660
If you don't care about the semi auto, the chiappa rhino is still in production and looks better IMO

>>28329992

I've heard bad things about the Chiappa Rhino's trigger pull and that theoretically that the extra string of mechanics that let the trigger work with the six-o-clock barrel could be prone to unreliability, but I've never had my hands on one or really looked inside one before. If someone with more experience/knowledge with them wants to address that that'd be nice.

>>28329393
I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Oklahoma was founded by anti gun feminists.

>>28330045
The mechanism is to allow you to pull the fake hammer like you would a real one. having a hidden hammer strike the 6 o'clock barrel isn't difficult

>>28330011
I don't know what this means.

>>28330045
Are you talking about pic related? I used to hate on the Rhino for its false hammer and gorillion actions to actually fire, but been called a retard in the past because "lol it's no more complicated that a regular revolver, dummy!"

Real man here. Revolvers are tactically obsolete. They have low capacity, high reload times and are harder to use because double action triggers have a hefty trigger pull.

>>28329262
Yes, I think revolvers are fine. But I don't own one because revolvers with a barrel of decent length are expensive.

>>28330168
A handgun is a handgun, not a rifle. Any extra range that you get from the longer barrel would probably be wasted because of the inherent inaccuracies of handgun shooting stances.

6 is fine, there are plenty of modern carry guns that sell themselves as the perfect tacticool ccw and only hold that. Its usually more of an issue of comfort and size though
with revolver you struggle with weight, unless you carry something like pic related and potentially a slow reload. Get a good holster for it if you do

As a fellow Okie, you're wrong. You can carry up to a .45 caliber. Nothing about the actual cartridge.

No,there not fag. Learn to shoot.

>>28330565
Yessir. Though they have other laws about "rifle cartridge pistols" if you're thinking of any rifle rounds.

>>28329262
No. Carry a double stack 9mm instead.

Woah I never thought about the hammer relation to which cylinder that fires from before is the hammer just for show?

>hefty trigger pull.
I sort of like a longer trigger pull on semi-auto rifles.

>>28330638
>is the hammer just for show?
Yes. The hammer is a false hammer.

>>28330673
Its not just for show
Its there so you can use the gun in single action
but the hammer you see isnt the real hammer, it just actuates the hammer. see the pic above

>>28330706
Right. It's a false hammer.

>>28330751
false hammer to me sounds like you're saying that its just for show and doesnt serve a purpose

>>28329262
Six is fine. What you posted has eight.
>S&W 327 Thunder Ranch .357 Magnum.

>>28330795
desu (To be honest), I actually did mean it to serve no purpose. Your post about letting me use the gun in single action is pleasant news to me that I never considered.

I kind of took the tangent argument about a false hammer meaning it's just a piece of plastic that, in and of itself, means diddly fuckall in actually firing the weapon.

>>28329446
.44 Magnum, 45 Colt+P, .454 Casull, .460 Rowland, as well as .460 Magnum.

Right, and masturbating is still sex

Well, it is. .460 S&W Magnum pretty much outperforms every other handgun cartridge except .500 Magnum. And that includes several .50 caliber cartridges such as .50AE and .500 JRH.

I have both a .357 six-shooter and a double-stack 9mm, and would trust either for self defense - that said, I'd prefer the 9mm for defense against humans and the .357 against wild animals.
