Can anybody recommend me a good revolver that's relatively cheap and bigger than .22LR?
>>
>>33537832

The EEA Windicator is a snub-nose .357 (which means it can also fire .38 special, which is cheap enough to shoot all day).

I don't own one, but I've read good things and its on the /k/ approved list of weapons for poor/newfags.
>>
>>33537832
Taurus Model 85
>>
Look up the Rock Island M200. .38spl, good reviews, $235 at Bud's Gun Shop.
>>
why doesn't NAA make one of their revolvers in .25acp ?
>>
Charter Arms has a Pitbull which is a cheaper 9mm revolver if you want a cheap to shoot revolver that you could use.

But honestly for a budget (Assuming around $300-350):

EAA Windicator
Taurus M85
Ruger LCRx
Any decent used S&W (the Model 10's are reallly good)
>>
>>33537832
What's relatively cheap?

If you don't mind some cosmetic blemishes there are some great deals on used Smiths and Rugers that will last you a lifetime.
>>
>>33538688

No demand. Plus it would be difficult to machine a cylinder to accept a tiny rimless cartridge.
>>
>>33538703
Ruger GP100.

If you got the cash, get a used GP100, that'll last till your grandkids.

Thanks for reminding me.
>>
>>33538721

There's also the SP101 if you've got [spoiler]baby hands[/spoiler] like I do.
>>
You can get a used Smith and Wesson Model 10 for less than $300 if you look around. It is a much nicer gun than a Windicator, Taurus, Armscor, Charter Arms, or any of other Saturday Night Specials that are barely any cheaper.
>>
>>33537832
I don't know how you define "cheap", but I picked up a S&W 686 Plus for around 500. That might be the perfect DA/SA revolver.
>>
>>33538721

>If you got the cash, get a used GP100

Can confirm, I personally own this one and it is awesome, have always loved shooting it, been in the family for about five years now.
>>
>>33537832
I'd highly recommend the Ruger GP100. It's my favorite.357 Mag that's not a Python.
>>

Go be a faggot somewhere else

Ruger GP100 > S&W 686
>>
>>33538797
Even with fairly short fingers the GP100 is fine. It's just not great as a carry piece since it's so huge.
>>
>>33538719
.25 ACP is actually Semi-rimmed, i.e. it has an extractor groove but the rim sticks out enough to allow head spacing on the rim. A .25 ACP revolver would still be worthless though.

There's a colt trooper mark III .357 6inch model NIB on sale for 950 around me. Should i get it?
Blued with wood grips.

It's pretty easy finding guns bigger than a .22lr.
>>
>>33537832

See if you can find an old model 10 revolver at a pawn shop or something. If you live in California, all the pistols you can buy are on the roster, just google them. Furthermore, revolvers are more reliable than semiautomatics, but be careful not to absorb the force between the barrel and the cylinder with you hand.

Here's a video of what I mean:

That's too expensive to be honest.
>>
>>33538682
If you live near an Atwoods, they have the M200 on sale for $199, and I think it comes with a free box of ammo. It is not rated for p+ ammunition though, so I wouldn't recommend for SD.

what do yall think about the heritage arms 22lr revolvers?
>>
>>33545789
If you don't mind filing/bending the sights so it shoots straight, they are a ton of fun.

Ruger LCR in .38 Special +P or .357 Magnum.
>>
>>33545789
I had one that was shit and dangerously so with cylinder alignment problems, but I've never heard of anyone else having the problem either so it's possibly just a fluke.
>>
>>33545954
you didn't send it back?

no more useless than a .22 mag NAA

Not this meme again.
>>

those are like $500 now
>>
>>33544455
Using +P makes it more likely you'll go to jail for defending yourself. We're not all off duty cops with blue-immunity.
>>
>>33545789

Fucking love mine, didn't have to modify a thing. These people are probably shooting it closer than what the sights were set or further.

Never had a misfire and it works just fine. Got it for $120 on sale.

Only neg is that the finish wears off pretty quick but it's an easy fix.
