What do you think of revolvers being used in actual combat situations?

Obsolete.

The only way i can see a revolver being used is if you gotta take down mister mundo if you know what i mean

>>32889073
Not op but what about as something to carry while hiking? Im scared of mtn lions.

10mm glogg is best innawoods pistol.

>>32889089
.40 s&w and .357 Sig should be good enough for any predator except bears.

>>32889089

theres no way you could hit and stop a mountain lion with a 6 shooter

Doesn't make much sense when you can get 15 or more rounds in a semi auto. It makes more sense if there's the possibility of an attacker grabbing the gun - that's more a civilian self defense issue than a military/police one though.

Six bullets. More than enough to kill anything that moves.

>>32889114
Tbh dude.
If i unloaded a full magazine of .40 fmj into a bear it is probably going down pretty easily. That's what semi autos are for after all, I don't think a bear could take that much top the chest and keep coming.

One shot? No
10 shots in 2 seconds? Probably

Umm what? Are you saying if you are attacked by a predator, you expect to expend 6 rounds before you make a hit on the animal? I think you may have some misconceptions about how firearms are supposed to be used.

>>32889137
>>32889143
I'm always amazed that some moron always takes this pop culture reference seriously.

>>32889167
I think he is implying that you would never hit the animal at all with that kind of weapon, like semi autos have cat tracking bullets or something, which is even more retarded.

>>32889032
I don't think in combat situation. But that guy is from a police special task force and they carry their favorite firearm meme, if your whole squad runs semi auto pistols it won't hurt if you have someone with a .44 stoppapowa

>>32889073
This.

They are doubly useless in Military application, because you might not always know exactly where the enemy is and reloading every six shots isn't very great. Then again, that's not really what pistols are used for, but more bullets is always a good thing.

I trust my M&P340 to save my fucking bacon if anyone tries to grab my duty weapon from its holster.

How effective are speedloaders compared to an old fashioned drop-n-pop clipazine that an automatic would use?

Faster? Slower? More/less awkward? Chunkier shape means you can fit fewer of them in a tacticool pouch?

>Personally, I'd go for automatics over meme guns in such a situation, but I'm not an oper8or so my opinion on such matters is ill-informed.

>>32889032
Outdated, but ultimately functional, a gun is a gun is a gun, people CC 5shot .38 snubs just fine, because it's deadly enough and it's rare to even have to pull the trigger, let alone more than once.

>>32889089
That's not so much combat as wildlife defense, the mountain lion is PROBABLY not going to shoot back, so that's a concern to set aside.

A .357 Magnum with a 4" or 6" barrel (mayhaps a Ruger Redhawk), and good loads, can be very adequate. Lehigh XPs are pure rape in this caliber, for instance, it'll hollow out a black bear (not that you'd need to, black bears run if you sneeze or use a harsh tone of voice).
Buffalo Bore hardcasts are pretty heavy hitters too, when the box says hardcast, they really mean hard.

Are there 'objectively better' weapons? Sure, a shotgun or self-loading rifle would be easier and more effective, but it weighs more and takes up more space.

A shotgun, AR15 or AK would be quite amazing wildlife defense (also pulling duty for hunting), but you also want to consider if you actually want to bring a long gun with you, some do, some don't.

There's also the whole thing about a compact package, if you're really cornered or pinned by a huge cat, a long gun could be too big to deploy and be of no use.

>>32889122
Sure you can.

Handguns almost not relevant in a military context.

>>32889386
Speedloaders are reasonably fast with a bit of practice.

Full and half moon clips can be reasonably fast with practice too.

There are also speed strips, but they're more so you can carry spare ammo as a flat package and in units. It's faster and more practical than loading loose rounds from your pockets, but the other two alternatives are faster.

In applications in orbital gravity or the "free-fall" environment of space revolvers are useful. The extreme hot and cold of the vacuum of space makes traditional gun lubricants freeze or boil, making them a liability. A simple mechanical mechanism like an old six shooter makes more sense as an astronauts side arm.

>>32889652
Sure, but I'd insist on at least a 4" long barrel to let Magnum loads be really worthwhile.

I'd probably also carry it on my person, not in my bag.

Again, go for something with shitloads of penetration like XPs or some good hot hardcasts.

.44 Magnun would have better effect for sure, but it's a lot harder to do followup shots with, especially if you've never shot one before, it means a lot of practice, and .44 isn't all that cheap (not even Specials).

I'm not saying don't go for .44 Magnum, because it's an excellent caliber for wildlife defense (and punks), but there's a higher barrier, make sure you have the money and time to git gud if you go .44
The kind of penetration a .44 Magnum hardcast can give you is really something else.

No. Use a semiauto. If you're in a combat scenario, you want as many bullets as humanly possible. You want 30 round mags for your pistols, you want a magazine that has a tiny fairy that makes more bullets for you.

You don't want to be stuck with six rounds then have to fuck around for two seconds just to reload, during which time your opponent, who is not stricken with autism, will have murdered you with his semiauto, which never emptied because HE HAD ENOUGH BULLETS.

newsflash: the sound of a .44 magnum going off will probably scare an attacking animal

>>32890858
And the lucky gunner

It's a bad choice on a battlefield but for CT/HRT groups that have to use them maybe once a year it's a great no bullshit backup weapon. The weight isn't a big deal and the .357 will stop most threats with armor on. The chances of needing to reload are pretty slim and a medium frame revolver is much easier to use with gloves on.

>>32890921

WOW NEWS FLASH, so will a 7.62 or a 10mm, or any other fucking gun. and if it doesn't, at least you have more than 6 chances to incapacitate the animal. a revolver has no benefit over a semi auto

you can scare a bear away by being loud, throwing a rock at it or hitting it with a big stick. but you shouldn't rely on that. scaring a bear away by hitting it is actually quite preferable as it teaches the bear fear/respect of humans.

>>32890818

Not supposed to be an argument to carry a revolver over an AK though.

i've spent quite a lot of time behind a revolver. i trust it just fine to do what it's meant to do, so i'll carry it in the woods etc. with no worry.

>>32889032
Revolvers have been matched or eclipsed by semi autos in the following areas:
>price
>capacity
>size
You can get more gun from a semi auto similar size to or smaller than a J frame
>reliability
Modern quality semi autos are reliable enough that this has ceased to be a serious issue.
>practical accuracy
Testing puts match grade revolvers only slightly ahead of semi auto service pistols with tilting barrels when you go out to 50 yards. The difference is irrelevant unless you need to pull off 50 yard headshots although that could be made moot with a fixed barrel design.
>energy for what could be realistically considered for a service pistol role
.460 Rowland matches lower to mid range .44 magnum when using the barrel length of a typical service pistol (.44 magnum can still win from longer barrels due to having more powder capacity), can be used in a pistol with 10 round capacity with a flush fit magazine, and you can set up a pistol to use it for under $1,000. Revolvers currently only have an advantage when it comes to supermagnum rounds like .454 Cassul or .500 S&W Magnum or when using longer barrels.

The only advantages revolvers have are the ability to be chambered for supermagnum ammunition, more velocity increase from longer than average barrels to to increased powder capacity, the ability to still function when using really light loads for practice, the ability to work with lower quality ammunition if you want to fantasize about long therm SHTF/WROL/whatever situations, and that's about it.

>>32889721
There exists no handgun that will stop a car's engine in one shot.

>>32890760
They are not using it to stop cars because it won't.

The kind of shit you need to stop a car dead in it's tracks would be closer to Russian 23mm 'Barrikada' steel slug, .357 Magnum can at best be comparable to a small rifle cartridge like a .30 Carbine, maybe a bit more depending on loads.

A 7.62x51mm rifle would do a MUCH better job at destroying the engine of a car, and even then that's a good couple of shots and waiting for the thing to die.

In the statistically unlikely scenario that you actually pull the trigger (just pointing a gun is reliably effective in scaring off perpetrators), it's even less likely that you'll do it a second time.

I understand that higher capacity is nice, but fact of the matter is that in the average CC scenario, a snub revolver will consistently be 'good enough'.
You want high capacity, I encourage it, I want the same, can't hurt, but let's be real for a moment.

The two aren't necessarily synonymous. No one will argue that revolvers are appropriate military weapons, but they're fine for civilian/LE defense and even some limited counter-terror use.

>>32889032
Revolvers are a good choice for concealed carry by those who aren't exceptionally skilled at handling a gun. As for legitimate combat use, I guess a well-trained person with a high-quality .357 magnum could make it work, but why would you if you have access to a semi automatic?

This is really all that matters. There's no reason for your body to stop working within a time frame that would be relevant in a CQB situation, even when considering rifle ammunition, if no round damages major organs (which are the largest target and pretty much covered by a rifle plate or a concealable kevlar when dealing with opponents armed with pistols/shotguns), the brain, the spine (which is mostly covered in the case of rifle plates or a concealable kevlar vest), or severs one of the major veins/arteries that go to your arms/legs/head.

true but it's more likely to work once it's pulled away. What's getting me seriously thinking about revolvers is this guy's training video, and some from Sage Dynamics that I can't find now. Semis get out of battery a lot in these training events

revolvers are more complex than most automatics.

YOU T-TAKE THAT BACK

And that will only make a difference in a SHTF situation, or if you're a Green Beret deep behind enemy lines in a daily survival situation, where your gun is being bumped and eating dirt daily.

Since most of us here in the city, suburbs, or small towns carry our EDC gun doing normal mundane tasks, and shoot it at the range occasionally.

It won't see any failure from that extra engineering.

And as a matter of fact, are even more reliable if the need to pull the gun out ever came.

Nah, i think fmj would do fine with less than shit shot placement. If they stood up like that they would get a heart and lungs full of lead and blood, I'm sure you'd be ok.

If you didn't have time to aim with a .40 and place shots then you don't have time with anything else either and bullet size won't make a shit if you shoot them in the foot as they maul your face.

As long as you can penetrate reasonably i think any caliber that starts with 4 would be fine.

Proving that grappling is important

Mechanic here. One shot stops of auto engines require a lucky hit on ignition or fuel systems for a prompt stop. Engines can otherwise take severe damage and continue running for quite a while.

Best way for a one shot stop is kill the driver.

A J-frame revolver takes more skill to use than an auto.

The double action pull requires more attention

>>32889032
I heard a few years ago NYPD was purchasing S&W revolvers for their SWAT to use with ballistic shields as selfloaders might jam if the slide recoils into the shield while firing.

Don't know if they actually went through with it though.

If you are innawoods in bear country then bring a rifle to kill the bear and anything else you get a shot at. There's no point being innawoods if not hunting.

>>32899986
If the car is coming at you the momentum will carry it into you even if the engine quits.

Do not stand in front of moving vehicles lest ye be squashed.

Likewise, to keep with revolver trivia, the pointman during the 1994 Air France Flight 8969 hijacking used a MR 73.

The first one to enter the cockpit, Thierry Prungnaud met the four terrorists, killing two of them and wounding a third one before being shot by the fourth, which was hiding under the navigator board.
He was hit by seven bullets, six in his right arm and one on his helmet, shattering its visor, and fell outside the cockpit.
Shortly after he was again wounded by a grenade before his teammates managed to reach and evacuate him.

If you're accurate with it and you can make good use of what ammo you have it's perfectly viable in CQB.

He lost his arm I think

>>32899989
No shit. Which is why I said "well-trained" and "high-quality". J-frames aren't high quality. They're pretty much middle of the road. Were I to carry a wheelgat, it'd have to be a Python or maybe something like a model 27.

>>32901199
He's still got it, it just has limited functionality. There's a video of him shooting his MR73 somewhere.

It surprises me to see the difference in how the people act nowadays. Here we got a guy who pretty much lost his arm and nearly died protecting his country but fast forward to today and the people would be somewhat mad at him. Like the guy who shot the terrorist at the louvre. People are mad at the guy for stopping people from dying. Where is the logic in that

And yet I work for the Forest Service in Montana (you know, where grizzlies and mountain lions are) and the guys that carry usually carry either 9mm (this is mostly LEOs) or .357 magnum (this is other USFS employees doing work innawilderness).

So yeah basically all you guys are dumbasses and people who work innawoods professionally and carry are gonna pack a hot-loaded revolver (unless they're worried about people rather than animals).

>>32901347
>people
No, just no, most people aren't angry at him. It's just that most (I.e. a large majority of people) don't care enough to post anything on the internet.
The people you're noticing are vocal but small in number.

>>32901552
>So yeah basically all you guys are dumbasses

OK, an AKS is dumb for innawoods, we feel you.

>>32901564
Still shitty behavior

>>32890833
PROTIP: If you can git gud shooting a revolver double-action then shooting autos is like playing with cheat codes on.

Practice practice practice.

Also, .357 is probably the smallest pistol caliber with enough kinetic energy behind it today make STOPPIN POWAH a factor in a defensive shooting.
