Anyone who says anything from such a broad range of options is the best is wrong by default.

Best car, best gun, etc.

Yeah but you have reload revolvers. Not the case with automatics

>>31404136
This. The whole attitude is wrong-headed.

Best handgun for what? Hunting? Combat? Self defense? Dangerous game? One-handed operation? Left handed operation? People with very small or large hands? People with tremors? Elderly people with weak hands and arms? Competition? Target shooting? Long range? Short range? Everyday carry? Glove box carry? Home defense? Budget friendliness?

I'm sure I haven't covered many of them, but certainly some common ones.

>>31404415

>>31404076
It lacks the easier reload of swing out cylinder revolvers, but as revelvers go it's a damn fine gun. However, revolvers have lost their place on the battlefield to the modern semi automatic handgun. Even the cheapest hi point is more practical the a good revolver

Any bullet'll do that, though certain ones may be more prone to ricochet than others.

And what about double stack revolvers?

>>31404076
It's obviously old and outdated by modern standards but it was well-made and liked well enough to survive long past the introduction of magazines and true semi-auto. Plus, it was the first repeating firearm to use self-contained metallic cartridges that was available to the common man, which was a pretty huge deal.

Google Lefaucheux revolver

>>31404241
Yes, but he has two revolvers. 12 shots, more than enough to kill anything in North America.

>>31407400

not quite, Smith and Wesson (with their model one in something similar to .22 short) had em beat by a decade, it's just a patent on the bored through cylinder prevented other companies in the United States (legally at least) to make cartridge revolvers that didn't suck. Colt converted a shit load of navies and armies into a SAA format before the SAA was conceived thanks to the expiration of the previously mentioned patent, Springfield made the first trapdoor rifles in '65 and pinfire had been a thing in Europe since at least '46.

A Single Action Army is only outdated depending on what you're using it for. They're lighter and handier than a lot S&W, Colt, and Dan Wesson double action revolvers of comparable size and caliber, and they're about the most naturally pointing firearm I've ever used, pistol or revolver. Plus unlike most modern pistols where the barrel is semi-independent of both the slide and the frame, you get the accuracy benefits from a fixed barrel gun in a SAA.

Combining the above with their great reliability, my SAA is my weapon of choice as a hunting sidearm. Hell, even though it's in .45 Colt which is not the best round available for it, the Buffalo Bore ammo I have specifically for hunting is more than enough to stop the cougars and blackbears in the forests where I live.

Now they're obviously not the best for "tactical" shooting and warfare scenarios, but even as a home defense weapon I could see them as a good choice IF you are accurate with them (which IMO is one of the easiest handguns to be reliably accurate with). After all it doesn't matter if your Glock brand Glock has 17 rounds in it if you can't hit shit because of it's shitty ergos.

>>31407416
>Available to the common man

Why do people always have to do this? Ignore a key qualifier so that they can bring up some special snowflake that never really saw use in its parent country, and barely saw American military use. The common person in 1875 wasn't going out to buy a Lefacheaux to protect himself and his property.

Plus, the SAA was centerfire and not shitty and unreliable.

>>31407291
I mean, is doing it on purpose and achieving desired results even remotely achievable irl?

I think it was MGO3 that Ocelot could do it.

>>31407524
No.

the factors involved are so numerous, it'll appear to be random.

The only way to even conceivably ricochet on purpose is to shoot an angled surface, but then the only guaranteed direction is somewhere within 180 degrees of the direction the surface is angled at.

>>31407517
Why do people always get so defensive when they are proven wrong? Your arguments are simply false. Look into it, educate yourself and stop being a faggot.

>Why do people always get so defensive when they are proven wrong? Your arguments are simply false. Look into it, educate yourself and stop being a faggot.

He wasn't wrong because he went out of his way to add the qualifier "available to the common man" you dumb asshole.

>>31407566
Pinfire revolvers were carried by the common man in France before the SAA even existed, you retarded faggot. That's the point, his qualifier is as retarded as you.

>>31407566
>available to the common man
Define common man.

Majority of people did not own a pistol before the civil war. (even after the civil war, a revolver could run you 10-20 bucks, enough to set you back a month or 2s wages) at most they had a rifle or shotgun for the family. pistols were expensive.

The people who did buy pistols were people who could afford anything. especially before the expiration of the Rollin White patent.

>>31407594
>Define common man.

Anyone who can have some form of savings (like enough to eventually purchase a gun) and isn't living in starvation conditions.

More importantly I'll define "available", which is when the firearm enters mass production and there are enough of them for sale at stores in the country that when the average Joe goes to buy goods he's reasonably likely to actually see one of the guns in stock.

None of your stupid little special snowflake guns made by nobodies that hardly anyone fucking bought do not qualify as this.

No top break revolver has ever solved the fundamental engineering hurdle of ensuring good lockup and and a robust hinge.

Schofield is still a great gun, but no top break has the longevity of (now) conventional swing outs.
