Is there any actual reason for revolvers to still exist when

Because you dumb son. They are still sold and bought, for the same reasons revolvers are.

>>32504848
Yes, revolvers can hold long cased rounds, and they also have superior single action triggers.

They make good backup guns, good hiking guns, and a lot of girls like them because they don't spit hot brass down their tits. I personally don't like them because of capacity and how fucking hot they get after a good range session, plus slower reloads.

Where can I buy that M249 backpack?

>Autoloader that shoots 45 LC +P

The best gun I own is a Ruger Redhawk .45 ACP / .45 Colt revolver. It's overbuilt as fuck. Can shoot any 45 load (except the absurd Casull/.460 mag loads).

The only reason why revolvers still exist is capitalism.

Different weapons appeal to different people for different reasons. Some want strictly for home defense or personal defense. Some also like collecting and other just like to go out to the range or to hunt with them. It is like saying why do they still sell bows and arrows because they have guns now. It's called different strokes for different folks.

I'm always a sucker for the S&W wood grip

They make decent backup guns and if you pocket carry (which I strongly don't recommend) hammerless revolvers can cycle in a pocket and can't be pushed out of battery when pushed against someone.

Also they can be useful for hunting because they can fire comically overpowered rounds (S&W .500, etc). Also from a mechanical perspective they're more accurate than most automatic handguns due to the fixed barrel.

>>32504848
Handguns are not purchased for their effectiveness. The vast majority will never be used.

>committing crimes
>leaving casing on the sence
Wew lad, it's like you want to go to prison.

for the police / military forces , the only real reason is that there's no slide that moves with a revolver, so you can shoot it along an edge (say, a shield) without problems.

it's why the GIGN uses revolvers at least.

"The Colt Single Action Army, the greatest hand gun ever made. Six shots. More than enough to kill anything that moves"!

They can fire much, MUCH bigger ammo

The day they come out with a 500 magnum semi-auto is the day I'll buy one

>>32505684
But it has a revolving cylinder that shouldn't be placed against an edge.

He said .500 magnum not .50 AE you stupid fucking troglodyte.

kys

I don't think there are any semi-auto guns in 454 Casull

I like them cause they're fun

>>32504848
Because my farm, and predators therein.

With a revolver I carry snake shot, cheap .38 practice ammo, and hot Buffalo Bore .357s all in one handgun.
Also worked a whole lot better with cast / BP reloads than my 1911.

In a word, Options.

While we're at it OP, whats the deal with bolt-action rifles when semiautos are better in every sense?
or lever guns?
or pump action shotguns?
or double barreled shotguns?
or single shot handguns?

Not everyone is a high-speed-low-drag operator like you OP...

this. I can a tighter grouping at 60 yards than a glawk memer can at at 40. pistols are a technological advancement in almost every sense, but I feel like an Eastwood-esque sharpshooter when I switch guns and can reach out notably farther
