Not sure how I feel about 5-6 rounds in a holster gun, a semi gets 12-15 at that size.

>>32489676

The 686 plus (OP pic) is 7 shot. That's about the same as most of the pocket pistols out there, But it's .357 instead of .380 or 9mm. And you can choose between .38sp, .38+p and .357. And it's pretty much jam proof.

Revolvers are neato, do you know what I am saying?

>>32489727
A good choice if you reload or don't shoot much, but then again even .38 costs a leg so probably a good choice no matter what.

>>32489727
.357 Mag

>>32489744
Yeah, but muh Sig320 is the same weight and size and holds 15 rounds of 9mm.

They'll look the same and work about the same. If there's advancements in powder and metallurgy similar to the BP to SP jump, we'll probably see smaller diameter rounds like .327 or 7.62x38R in the name of higher capacity, or maybe a 10 shot 5.7x28 cylinder if someone feels like being a jackass.

>>32492285

It actually does, but like you said, not out of a snubbie.

Not the guy you're arguing with. But when talking about literal pocket guns. I'd rather take 5 or 6, 38+p in a reliable revolver, than a finicky, jammy, semi-auto holding the same amount of rounds in 9mm or .380.

When speaking about compact or full size guns, sure, I can see how someone can give the advantage to a semi.

But personally, I'd rather use my 627, .357mag 8 shot competition revolver since it's what I shoot best.

I'm working on joining the wheelfags. When taxes come in I'm buying an EAA Windicator.

I have a question--how different is carrying a revolver, with that huge ass cylinder in the way? I carry a shitty 380 right now, small of the back.

>>32493938
With the right holster, it's fine. The only automatics I own are full sized, so for me, carrying a J-Frame is far more comfortable.

>>32493851

Hello my fellow wheelfags. Charter arms undercover as my edc. One of many wheelgats.

>>32493851
It's functionally almost identical to a weak loaded .44spl while being a bit fatter and lighter.
Why wouldn't you like that aside from needing moon clips to replace lack of rim?

>>32490052
Why is it called that? Hasn't S&W had those on all their revolvers since like 2010? Was it a preemptive response to some proposed law or something?

>>32494039
S&W struck a deal with the Clinton Administration in 2000 to agree to certain guidelines on how they make and sell guns in return to dropping all the federal lawsuits against them.

One of the agreements was that S&W put an internal lock into all of their handguns. Understandable, people don't like them cause they're more parts. But perhaps the biggest worry is that the lock can 'engage' when firing very hot ammunition.

I have never seen a post-2000 S&W revolver jam up from the internal lock. S&W even put a ultra-heavy spring in the internal lock mechanism to keep this from happening.

>>32494210
Oh, weird. How long was that supposed to last?

>>32494241
Forever, Smith & Wesson has been putting internal locks on their revolver since 2000 and they've shown no signs of stopping.

Honestly, I can deal with the internal lock in return of taking advantage of S&W's advanced manufacturing techniques they apply to their revolvers. The modern S&W revolvers are a lot stronger than the older ones.

>>32490202
Good for you man, I've got one of the same, recoil with .357 is almost a little alarming on the first shot but once I got my grip down you can cylinder dump the thing in like 2 seconds due to that sexy trigger, I've been thinking about changing the grip to something smaller so I can carry it

Just curious on what your guys' opinions of the Rhino is. The trigger is stupidly complicated, but can the 6'clock position of the barrel help offset that or am I just living in a meme world?

It might be useful to say my dream gun, which I own one of, is a Mateba 6 Unica, which the Rhino's designer also designed. I think I might be bleeding my fun guns with practicality.

Snub and other barrel lengths have a slightly different frame to account for the barrel. They don't just slap a barrel extension onto the snub model.

I'm not sure exactly what you're arguing. The Rhino has an over-complicated trigger system to compensate for its false hammer. This cannot be argued.

>Snub and other barrel lengths have a slightly different frame to account for the barrel. They don't just slap a barrel extension onto the snub model.
I know, that's why I called it a stock photo. I know there isn't a blatant vertical line as some barrel extension is snapped on the end on the fly.

Don't have a pic handy and I'm not at home, but I have my great-grandfather's H&R 9-shot .22 revolver and I love it. Especially with .22 short. It's very, very quiet and puts neat little holes in rabbits. I'm considering buying another cylinder and reaming it to take .22 mag. It's long enough.

>>32497432

That sounds like a terrible idea. I went with multiple guns because I can choose if or what I carry. If someone wants to narrow down what you have and what you can do they have to prepare at minimum for the worse. If you have more than one than they have to always double the potential force multiplier you have or they are just gambling that you're using something weaker or have less.

>proven far more reliable
Against what? Maybe in some ways, but it's easier to get dust and grit in the action of a semi auto.

Also, even if it is true for high-end pistols, it's not true at all for cheap ones. Maybe a USP or Sig or whatever is more reliable than most revolvers (maybe), but a cheap revolver beats the hell out of a cheap semi for reliability. A lot of us are poorfags here.

But the real point is usually just magnum rounds. You can have a carryable gun in .357 or even .44. That's the point. I know it's against all the trends of firearm philosophy right now, but I'd rather have 6 rounds of .357 than a larger amount of 9mm.

>>32495802

>>32493951
Cheapest holster I could find was by the company Alien Gear. Those any good? And to clarify, I was talking about the 4 inch model--getting a 2 inch .357 is a little retarded because it needs the extra barrel length to really speed up, in a 2 inch barrel it's basically just a .38 spl. Is it much harder to carry those?

>>32502094
Yeah, but that is typically within 7 yards.

Against an active shooter, your engagement range will likely be 25 yards or further; and while an good shooter can hit at that range, an argument can be made for having 15 rounds in the same size gun.

That said, the SP101 is sexy so I sometimes carry it anyway.

>>32513346
Wanting a nice handgun to carry around in the woods with. And yes, it's really my first hand gun. So far, I have an ar15, Remington 870s in 20 and 12, 6.5x55 mauser, and a 30-30.

>>32520757
Does it have to be .44 Magnum or are you open to other Revolvers?

>>32520611
Thank you. They're aftermarket, figured they matched the gun better than the stock black plastic ones. Which I still have. Would you believe the plastic ones are worth like $300 because they're original?

>>32520655
Yes. I was an armorer at an indoor gun range that had one as a rental, and that thing just fuckin fell apart. Now, I'm sure you're thinking "Well yeah, it was a rental. Of course it did"

We also had a chiappa rhino that honestly got rented more often, but held up better. Not much better, mind you. Those things are a nightmare inside. But better.

Anyway. By the time I left, the TRR8 was practically held together with duct tape, and S&W had pretty piss poor customer support when it comes to fixes, and I know that from numerous experiences.

I'd just buy a 686.

>>32520757
This might sound wierd, but a Charter Arms Bulldog would do nicely. It's small, and only weighs 20 oz. But it's big enough for other things too.

.44 Special is nothing to sneaze at and can take down bears.

>>32489502

>>32509261
Intended purpose would be innawoods handgun/range toy, budget preferably under 800, as far as recoil tolerance, not really sure.

You're not going to find a .44 Mag revolver under that price.

>>32504895
>I don't into ballistics

>>32520856
AFAIK, no. Though it still wouldn't hurt to check locally or on gunbroker/gunsamerica.

Seeing how you only have black bears in your area, you really wouldn't need a .44 Mag to take them on. But if you're worried then a good .44 Special revolver could work.

>>32520856
Just get a revolver chambered in .357 Mag. Plenty of people have done fine with it

>>32520916
Well, I found some s&w 629s for around 800. Also, I know taurus guns have a pretty bad rep, but are they really that bad?

>>32520939
No, for some reason Taurus Revolvers have escaped the quality control issues the rest of their guns are experiencing.

Now that you reminded me of Taurus, their Model 44SS6 is an excellent choice. It costs about $560

>>32520869
Unless you're tiny or old and frail you've got nothing to worry about. You'd be better off worrying about the most dangerous animal, man.

>>32489986
Oh you'll get it back. The PD hates lawyers as much as anyone else does, so when one comes knocking they'll fuck off.

This will be about 6 months after they should've returned your gun, and what you will actually get a gun shaped lump of rust that has most of your serial # on it.

>>32520954
I know it might be kind of memey, but what about the raging bull? I can't help but think the extra weight would help with recoil control

>>32521049
I have no experience with the Ranging Bull as the only Taurus revolver I own is the Model 44SS6. The 44SS6 is already a somewhat hefty revolver at 52 oz if you're looking for something meaty.

>>32520939
While taurus is not smith when it comes to overall quality, their more recent offerings have been just fine. Their revolvers are are plenty decent its usually their semi-autos that get some bad rap. It seems the main issue is when you do get a bad gun, it is a total lemon that always seems to have issues. have a taurus 66 7shot .357 it has served me well so far.

>>32521049

well if you are thinking about Taurus, you should look into their tracker line up, they are slightly less hefty compared to the raging bull line and are a little less expensive while still having porting. only major difference i think is the raging bull is a 6 shot and the tracker is a 5. I know a few academys near me has put the 4in tracker one sale for 450. Id get it just to have a .44 mag if i had some money to blow atm

I was going home one night in an unfamiliar (and shitty) area, I went over some train tracks doing a u-turn and my car got stuck on them. I tried to push the car out, wasn't happening though (it was like reverse railroad ties, the wheels sit down inside of a rail instead on top) and the cops came, first walked up to me, said I was drunk, and immediately searched and cuffed me. His partner pulled out my wallet and was like, "well he has a CHL" but the older guy didn't give a fuck.

Went to jail, got out in the morning (I work for the county judge, lol) got told to call his buddy who is an ex DA, who called the current DA, charges dropped. Went to work the next day, judge goes out into the parking lot and hands me these evidence bags with both my pistol and the ammo in them. He then told me the guy who arrested me is famous for being a moron and that the vast majority of his arrests get dismissed. I wasn't drunk, just lost, and that cop didn't even give me a chance to tell him I had no idea where I was before he just cuffed me and tossed me in the can.

Anyhow, my beloved USP compact is now back by my side.

No it's ignorant ass glock faggots insisting their shitty plastic gun is perfection.

Reasons revolvers are superior to Glocks:

1. DA trigger pull is a safer design. Glock faggotry about "muh finger is muh safety" is just a marketing line to make people ignore an unsafe design.

2. Regular fuckin trigger instead of safety trigger on a trigger so you can't pull the trigger until you pull the trigger = better feel.

3. Cannot be pushed out of battery/does not have slide. This means you can fire at press contact distance when a Glock will fail (PERFECSHUN RELIABULL). It also means you can fire from inside of a pocket.

4. Single action mode trigger is better than middle or the road light-enough-to-ND-but-not-single-action Glock trigger.

5. Revolvers can accommodate longer cases and therefore more powerful ammunition.

If it's suitable for hunting deer, and .357 out of a decent length barrel is, then it's a step above the other, weaker handgun rounds like 9mm.

>>32506332
You can't go wrong with a Ruger GP100 match champion. Great trigger like a smith but with the durability and longevity of a Ruger, and all of that at only ~$650.

>>32520379
I've been looking at the 4.2 inch barrel sp101 for a while now. What holster is that? How well would you say the gun carries?

>>32520838
Get a .357, trust me. As other people said, unless you have to deal with really, really big game like brown bears or moose then .357 is plenty enough for anything else in north America. Hell, if you get something with a decently long barrel (6 inches+) and shoot some hot as snot .357, it could be somewhat suitable for those larger animals too.

.357 is great because

1: Being the most common chambering for revolvers (if you include .38 special), the ammo is considerably cheaper for .38 and .357 than for .44 magnum.

2: Lets you choose between shooting very soft .38, hot as snot .357, and anything in between

3: .44 magnum i'd say is a bit too powerful to be a good option for a first handgun.

4: Quality .357 magnum handguns can be had for less than your price range of $800. For maybe $650 you could get a Ruger Gp100 Match Champion, which is a fantastic gun both in its own right and especially for the money.

I love the look of revolvers, but for concealed you get better ballistics from an equally sized pistol.

Hot 9mm will hit harder in a glock 19 than 357 from an equal sized revolver because the revolver barrel will be much shorter. Plus capacity and other issues we don't need to rehash. But when I open carry /out/ I don't mind holstering a wheel gun.

I wish 327 federal was more successful, seems like it has good potential.

Anyone here know of a good blackpowder revolver I can easily swap between BP and centerfire? I can Google it until I'm blue but I'd like some opinions and experience...

>Hot 9mm will hit harder in a glock 19 than 357 from an equal sized revolver because the revolver barrel will be much shorter.

Ruger Sp101 with the 4.2 inch barrel is about the same size and weight of a glock 19, but .357 out of that 4.2 inch barrel will have more umpth than 9mm.

Points 1 and 5 are BS, Glocks are designed to be easy to use and high capacity, at the cost of some safety. There are automatic calibers just as powerful as 44mag, so longer cases are a meme. Point 2 is very fair, and it's odd because my SD9VE has a way better design. The trigger just has a hinge in the middle, and you have to press it's bottom half in a ways to disengage the safety.

>>32491409
honestly it goes by both titles. just depends on which you grab. much like a couple dialogue differences, most notably when max sends feral to get shells in the American version he says grab the bullet whereas all others he correctly states shells.

>>32524096
I know you score high on the spectrum, but both platforms have problems dude.

Yeah a lot of glockFAgs are annoying as hell, but a lot of fuddtastic wheel gunners are too.

I've never shoved my glock into something hard enough that I plan to shoot to move the slide. It isn't that fucking easy. One could argue that an exposed hammer could be caught in clothes just as the slide could too.

The only time I've ever had gun failures were on cheap shit or dirty ass guns. Revolvers can fail too. Out of battery detonation versus glock made memes, blah blah blah

Carry whatever you feel comfortable with and don't be a massive pile of steaming autistic shit about it. Also treat your piece well and feed it well.

Meh, not a MkVI Webley, likely not a Model 29.
Still, better than nothing.

>>32527621
Glock 19 length 7.36 inches, 4 inch barrel

Ruger sp101 length 7.2 with 2.25 inch barrel is nearest in size.

The 4 inch barrel makes it a bit over 9.

>>32499862
If you want to CC a gun on yo sweater pocket or something, wheelgun is a better choice. With subcompact gun like P3AT or ruger there's a chance that it won't shoot when yo life depends on it. It is also safer than P3AT

I had a P3AT as my campus carry and I can say that after a bit of shock (because you know, walking and stuff) it won't shoot unless there's a round in the chamber. That's why I've bought a model 94

>>32527621
Also went to ballistics by the inch, not sure how reliable they are but 357 out of 2in is much weaker than 9 +p from a 4, and it's about the same with both at 4...

>>32528512
>>32528551
Weight is comparable, but you get three times the rounds in the pistol than the revolver.

Obviously a hot loaded 357 can blow even 9mm major out of the water, but you need barrel length and/or strength. A snub 357 is a good flash banger. I know most ruger are built stronger than shit Brickhouses (45 70 ruger is fucking godly) but some dumb ass might try to do the same in a taurus.

My only point was that ballisticly a concealed revolver in the same overall sized package will have inferior ballistic performance. Concealed means small and light, I'm not talking about strapping a foot long revolver to your drop leg holster.

>in b4 hey manlet I cc a 500sw or 45-70bfr.

>>32492208
>double the weight
Why do people say this shit like it's a bad thing? It's a GREAT thing when you have to start shooting it. I've grown accustomed to carrying my Model 64 with a full 4" barrel, and given its size and cartridge, I can snap rounds downrange as quick as you please.

I dont get why someone doesnt make a more lightweight 357 revolver for CC, all you need to do is use proper steel.
the manurhin 6 inch is 200 grams lighter than the 686 or gp100

>>32524096

>Muh DA pull is safer
This is bait. You can do better.
>Regular trigger is better than serrated feeling trigger because feels
Utterly subjective. Also, I see you are inexperienced with glock as well as retarded.
>Cannot be pushed out of battery
The cylinder can be grabbed and the hammer can be prevented from moving. Both have pros and cons, retard.
>SA trigger is better!11
True.
>Revolvers can use bigger ammo!!11one
For hunting, this is an advantage. For animal defense, this may or may not be an advantage once you get past nuclear 10mm loads. For dindu nuffins, as much as i like massive overpenetration and recoil, i'd rather have more ammo on tap to account for my attacker having friends, being on drugs, or hits that fail to stop.

How long did it take?

How many useless forms did you have to fill out?

Was it extra scratched when you got it back?

What state? That probably changes things a lot.
