EAA is okay for a cheapy. They are apparently not very finished (sharp edges and such) but won't actively try to kill you like a taurus.

I'd say save your shekels or start with a s&w 38sp. Sog has model 64s and 10s right now that look good. You're better off investing in a quality 38 than a shit 357.

Preferably switchable lr/mag cylinders
Sub 400$ Pl0x

>>33641483
You need to know two things there,

The Windicator comes in Alloy and full steel frame. Get the steel, and only the steel.

They are rough and heavy, and most gunsmiths don't want to work on them. Acceptable entry level, but not a true revolver experience,

>>33641367
I don't know why but now I'm rock hard

>>33636702
This is a normal reaction, OP. Ignore all the fags sperging out about semi autos, since it's fine to have more than one handgun.

>>33642813
No one has yet

>>33642477
You can't

I was looking for a .22 revolver for months, your only two real options are to either shell out the $600-700 for a GP-100 or a S&W M17

Of course you could go with one of the "cowboy" styles that is only single action and probably spend less than $200 but I wanted double action

>>33642477

Single 6.

Your grandkids will enjoy it.

>>33643551
That's a whole 200$ out of my ball game.

>>33641339
I give the brass to someone else, and throw away the steel case. Better than leaving all these casings around my property.

>>33644387
Why does someone else reload brass mak?! Why do you BUY brass mak?!

>>33644192
Heratige Rough Rider is pretty good for the price.

>>33644998
There's an LGS near me that tends to have S&B 9mm Mak for an affordable price.

S&B uses brass.

>>33636702
Is the proper grip on a revolver different than a semi auto?

>>33644998
>>33641339
If you cast bullets, reloading handgun ammo is far cheaper.

>>33641334
Disregard Taurus, acquire Ruger

>>33645098
I guess my time is worth more than all of that shit for a 9 dollar box of ammo

>>33645110
Some people enjoy reloading and don't care about the time, I know I do.

>>33645228
I enjoy it too, but I prefer to reload for accuracy or to save money on expensive cartridges like 8mm and 45-70.

Mak is cheap as hell and it's never gonna be accurate enough to know the difference.

Maybe I am just a reloading elitist...

>>33646484
Yes. They take alot of shock mainly if you have big hands though. They are standerd grips that come with the gun and interchangeable. I don't mind it though there older grips look way better.

>>33642518
>and most gunsmiths don't want to work on them
Why would you get custom work on a cheap gun? By the time you got done you probably can just get a more decent out of box gun.

>>33645710
Yes it is. My own personal opinion is that wheel guns for fun don't need DA. As I usually just shoot them in SA.

>>33645093
Nah use thumbs forward until you develop a tolerance for hot gas and lead/copper peppering your thumb.

>>33636702
Welcome to the Dark Side.

>>33647006
Single-action revolvers are fun in their own way, but if you're manually cocking your double-action guns all the time you're screwing yourself.
Double-action revolver shooting is godlike for improving your trigger control skills on every other gun that you shoot.

>>33639642
KSD grips, pretty, but expensive. They fit well and if you get a crappy quality piece, they send you another set free.
They're Turkish though.

>>33647561
I agree, shooting DA is fun as fuck even if SA is a lot more accurate. When my buddy and I go out to shoot my .38 S&W he'll toss water bottles like clays (cheaper than clays) and I'll pop them out of the air in DA.

On that note, anyone find anything better than water bottles to shoot at? I like to see a reaction when I shoot, and I think hitting paper is boring.

>>33647852

How to keep them from blowing away / popping on the ground on a miss?

I can usually get bottles to stand up even after I've shot them a few times and they'll still work. They seem much more reusable than balloons, a case is like $3 and will stand up to a ton of rounds, I think I put ~300 .22s downrange into a single case with only 4 or 5 of them being destroyed to the point of not being usable, and you can still fill them with spent brass and rocks from the ground to weigh them down.

>>33647918
>store-brand soda bottles
$1 a 2-liter seems high
>water bottles full of Tannerite
tannerite is more expensive than what I'm shooting

>Redpill

>>33651435
A typical 6-shot service-type .357 Magnum weighs as much as a loaded Glock 19 with a Surefire X300U and a reload, is twice as thick, only holds a fifth as many cartridges, and isn't dramatically more effective shot-for-shot.
Airweight J-frames don't suffer as much capacity- or weight-wise vice comparable pistols, and are easier to conceal because of their lumpy, curvy profile, but are hard to shoot well because of their heavy trigger pull and terrible sights.
Revolvers in general are difficult to reload under stress, even with speedloaders, and have few options for night sights and weapon-mounted lights, so if you plan on CCWing in low light you'll need to get really good with your handheld light techniques.
I love revolvers, but I would never carry one.
CCW is serious business, and as such technical concerns have to take priority over what you personally enjoy.

>>33645056

Can confirm, I just retired one with easily 100k rounds through it.

>>33651435
Ask yourself whether or not you're going to pocket carry.

If yes go with a J frame revolver, double action only (no exposed Hammer to get snagged), rated for at least 38 special +P.

The alternative for semi auto pocket carry is usually just .380 ACP and occasionally 9mm but maybe two extra rounds compared to a revolver. Those will also be more finicky regarding safeties.

If you're willing to go inside the waistband, you might as well go semi auto. Especially if you can get away with concealed carrying a double stack.

Keep in mind though that by most statistics the vast majority of self-defense shootings are only about two to three rounds, and many of the ones that involve more roundz are more nervous "mag dumps" that may not have been necessary in hindsight.

You're also going to be engaging targets at very close range so the concerned about sights is a complete non-issue. Learn to point-and-shoot, to "feel" where you are aiming at a target of about 5 yards distance.

In the Heat of the Moment, any restraint based off trying to get your sights aligned first and getting a proper two hand grip is milliseconds you may not be able to afford.

Wether semi-auto or full auto, learn to shoot one-handed for self-defense just in case.

I have a Windicator 4". I really want to like it but unfortunately I must caution you a little.

All the reviews I've read about them are great, but mine had an issue--the single action jams up sometimes and won't cock all the way back. Apparently, their quality control is not very good. It's also not terribly accurate, the sights are pretty low and they're not adjustable.

>>33651435

HOT 125 jacketed loads. They can go 1600+ fps in a 6in barrel. Buffalo bore has some that got 1700 in a 6inch gp and 1600 in a 4 inch smith. Just got done shooting max power reloads in my 6in gp. A lot of fun for sure. Swc are old school. They work, but are outclassed by modern bullets. They are cheaper to shoot I though. I can buy 158 gn for like 8ish cents, where as 125 xtp are like $21 for a hundred at my local bi-mart. And with jacketed bullets I don't have to worry about leading.

Okay, I'm gonna call bullshit on you.

I live in a hodunk town of 48,000 and I called SEVENTEEN shops that sold revolvers the other day when I was looking for a reasonably priced .22lr revolver. I didn't find what I was specifically looking for, but that's not the point. I can almost guarantee that at the very least half of them would have a S&W .38 or .357 in stock that day at a fair price.

Don't just go to Gunther's Guns, call some fucking pawn shops dude.

I live in South Florida, the place is literally jew-tier with niggers everywhere. Prices are high for guns, at least in regard to revolvers. Not looking for 5 shot.

>>33658664
American eagle jsp are the cheapest most potent rounds. Theres a youtube video of them with 1300 fps in a 6 inch gp. Most other stuff is rather weak as they use a mounted long ass barrel for their velocity tests. Which gives higher then you are likely to get. So I would really look around for videos or forum post about personally collected data. I'm too cheap for a chronograph so thats what I rely on.

"Chief's Special" refers to a J-frame with a normal hammer (such as the Model 36, pictured); they're still in production, but they're all five-shooters, so that's probably not what you're looking for.

I am thinking about getting a revolver when i turn 21 in a few months. I already have a 357 Blackhawk and think i want something in 44. The 69 interests me but is there a better option out there?

>>33659736
Super Redhawks, they eat anything.

>>33659736
There really isn't another .44 Magnum in the same "lightweight but not unmanageably so" niche as the 69, so if that appeals to you it's basically your only option.
The 29/629 has "Dirty Harry" appeal, and the 329PD weighs the same as a Glock 19.
The Super Blackhawk is well-made, but would just be a .44 Mag version of a gun you already have.
The Super Redhawk is thicc and will tolerate abusively hot loads and has scope mount dovetails machined into it if you're into that sort of thing.
The Colt Anaconda is a .44 Mag snake gun, with all that implies.

Bluing, especially great-looking bluing, is more work than just making the whole gun out of stainless, and that's on top of the extra work involved in putting a working revolver together vice a pistol.
The cost/benefit is tilted still further against bluing by regulatory concerns vis-à-vis the chemicals involved, which leads to corner cutting like the """bluing""" that S&W put on some recent guns that comes off when exposed to common gun cleaning chemicals.

Oh well, I hope the local machine shop can pull these screws out because they are fucking destroyed. Still got a good deal on the gun though.

>>33662839

How hard do those recoil vs a shorty .44 mag?

>>33662409

Could only load a primer, but I know those will still shoot out streetlights so dont go shooting neighborhood kids with it.

>>33662853

I advise people to wear gloves when shooting mine but they really aren't that bad in terms of pain, and "light" loads that recoil seemingly very little have much more power than even the spiciest 44.

That said with higher power handloads or factory, pretty much anybody will start heeling or flinching after a few cylinders. It's just an excessive gun in all ways.

But they are all accurate, well made, have good triggers, and actually are very easy to shoot. With light loads they are a ton of fun.

>>33661952

Depends on the price range you're considering.

Have spent 10,000+ .357 rounds on her so far, no sign of stopping anytime soon! Love the grips too. This is that type of .357 you could give to a new person to revolvers, just cleaned, about to be taken out for some fun.

Picked this fellow up this week. 29-2, ~c. 1972-74. Had some surface rust in a few places along the sights/parkerized top of the barrel that was very easy to clean up, no pitting or damage whatsoever anywhere. A few rough spots on the muzzle near the crown and scratching on the yoke, and general handling, but otherwise in very good condition. Bore and rifling still super clean and defined. Bluing is fading and getting that patina/spotted look in a few areas. Mechanically it is tight as nearly new, single action is literally hair trigger. Magnaported, not sure if it was a factory/custom or a private gunsmith job, but whoever did it did it perfectly, not a big fan of it though.

Really like this picture of it, it really captures how deep and rich the bluing is. Despite being pretty damn old the bluing has held up really well. Also, the classic coke bottle S&W grips are, imo, the best wood grips ever made that are tolerable to shoot on full power magnum loads.

I guess it's a matter of oppinion. I actually dont like the blue myself, Always preferred stainless steel. I actually love the bulk it packs.

I also hate the look of glocks but i still own one. And i like S&W. I just prefer Ruger for the price, look, feel, and durability. But like i said, all a matter of oppinion.

>>33668317
The people who bitch about Rugers are the same people who bitch about Glocks. Their autism is triggered by aesthetics so they can't appreciate the purely utilitarian.

>>33668140
Also, i agree older models of S&W look better. Just not really looking for a used gun even if refurbished IMO, or generally anything for that matter.

>>33668317
Rugers are the best revolvers you can get for the money, as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, Manurhin and Korth are better, but those are far too expensive.

A GP100 is almost equal while being at a much lower price.

Also, vastly prefer blued over stainless steel, but that's just me.

Anyone have any experience with them? I'd be paying about a bill more than the GP100, which seems to be its closest competitor. I've fingerfucked them at gun shows and they seem to fit my hand really well, and point easily, but I haven't fired one.

Dirty secret time...fanboys close your ears...

Outside of their custom shop guns and some of their exotic material models modern Smith and Wesson is Taurus with slightly better QC. They use basically the same production techniques and materials.

Smith rides on the perception of their brand which is based more on their historical level of quality than their current level of quality. Couple that with a pricing structure that helps sell the idea you're dropping big bucks for big quality. What you're really buying is an OK gun with a great name.

Sig does the same shit. They're selling an image as much as a product.

>>33658480
125's are fine to shoot once in a while, but they will erode your forcing cone, and gascut the topstrap if shot extensively. Just a warning.

>>33686278
The forcing cone issue is overblown and really only affects guns with the flat bottomed cones.

If you shoot enough 125 to start damaging your topstrap you have enough money to buy a new gun when it wears it.

>>33684695
I bought one at Cabela's black friday sale last November for about a hundo. Worth every penny of that.

That's like ten lunches out and you have a worthwhile new gun.

>>33686245
All research I've done on this purchase backs up your assertion. I just didn't want to believe it.

Goddammit - now it makes sense to contemplate buying another ugly, functional, okayishly accurate workhorse Ruger.

Ruger has been a fantastic name for me and has never once betrayed my expectations. Ruger does what it's supposed to do every time, year after decade, looking dowdy all the way. Goddamn Rugers.

I love the look of that new .44 Spl GP100, but everything I've seen about the cartridge is really underwhelming... It pains me, because the gun is so fucking sexy, but I have no idea how to justify it beyond that.

Ballistics like .45 ACP in a bulky, heavy, five-round limited package. Very uncommon caliber to find in stores. Few good defensive options that penetrate adequately.

Is there ANY valid reason to own a .44 Spl if you don't reload? Serious question, because I'd love for someone to change my mind on this.

>>33686710
If you don't reload .44spl is gonna be a sucking money pit of fail. If you reload it's an epic bucket full of sunshine and orgasms. My trusty Rossi 720 has given me many years of enjoyment. It's fucking murder on snakes with #9 shot and I've killed a deer with it too. If you want to get historical about the cartridge you need to get Elmer Keith's book on big bore revolvers.

Justify getting a reloading setup by buying the Ruger in .44spl.

Sorry, but no.
How many police forces issue ruger handuns? How many militaries issue ruger handguns? What's their market share? Their perception in pop culture? What music/movies/video games do Rugers make notable appearances?

You can say that they match glocks in quality (again I think this is wrong), but you if you walked up to the average normie, they've never even heard of ruger, but glocks are ubiquitous.

>>33687209
I disagree by a mile.

>>33685430
see>>33680761

>>33687209
Police use Glocks because Glock makes so much money on the markup they charge civvies they can almost give them away to LEOs.

If you read the book Glock: America's Gun it goes into great detail about the lengths Glock went to in the beginning to get their guns accepted by LEOs all over the country so they could then use that as a marketing tool to get credibility with the civilian market. It worked.

I guess Ruger sucks because they didn't throw enough parties at strip clubs with hookers and blow like Glock did....

So I've decided I want a revolver but I'm conflicted in terms of caliber.

Ruger Blackhawk convertible in:
>.357/.38/9mm
or
>.45lc/.45acp

>>33693340
How much ammo/how many guns do you already have in each of those calibers?

0 and 0...for now. Whichever I get I plan on getting a lever action rifle in the same caliber shortly after.

Eventually I want both, and I do plan on reloading and possibly casting my own bullets.

Basically, on one hand, I could have the .357/.38/9mm which would initially be easier on my college budget and nicer to plink with, especially once I figure out how to make cast 9mm that fits the .357 barrel (9mm is .355ish). Until then all those calibers are easily found in stores nearby. Also, fun fact, you can easily form 9mm cases to 9x18 makarov. I'm in the process of getting a C&R license so this may be useful...

On the other hand I could have the .45lc/.45acp, which may or may not be more expensive to shoot (according to varied sources) even if I was reloading and casting bullets, and is harder to find in stores...but I have heard the .45acp is much more accurate than 9mm in this revolver right out of the box, and getting set up to reload .45acp and .45lc now would benefit me later as I plan on getting into mounted shooting and possibly SASS in the future and I really want a 1912. Plus I keep hearing you can do much, much more with the .45lc in terms of hunting and longer distance shooting compared to the lighter .357 out of a rifle.

Tldr version:
>cheap and easy
or
>expensive and useful

>>33693732
*1911, not 1912.

>>33693732
Probably better to go with the .45, then.
Ammo costs are an issue, but it's not like you're going to be burning through a thousand rounds a week out of a SAA clone.

i own a .357-9mm blackhawk,fun to shoot and much cheaper than 45colt and .45acp (which i have also) but yes the 9mm is pretty inaccurate at more than a >>33693732
few yards,but for plinking its great. as for pricing,.45 colt is about $30.00 for the cheapest ammo,50ct,and .45 acp is around $20.00 for steel tula,where .357 is about $18.00 for tula and 9mm is all over from dirt cheap to just cheap. >>33693732
ope this helps

>>33693769
>>33693802
I think I'll go with the .45lc then.

Which brings me to my next question...what is .45lc recoil like? I've only ever shot .45acp and 9mm before out of handguns.

depends on what your shooting it out of,but really its not bad at all,more of a push than a sharp jolt like many larger calibers,defense lvl .45 colts coming out of a saa type weapon with a 5.5 inch barrel will be similar to .45acp oddly enough if your shooting .45acp from a 1911 type weapon.honestly its a caliber you can get a lot out of with the right weapon,if your running with a blackhawk in .45colt you can load target loads that are really soft all the way to loads capable of taking bears. i use my toklat which can also shoot .454 casull to hog hunt,and ive never needed the .454's i keep on me,the .45colts in plus p work great

>The only reason glocks are popular is mass police corruption and glock giving away their guns for free

This level of delusion. You realize the blue label discount is like $100 off, right? Which would put them right in ruger's normal semi auto price range. If they offered mass purchase discounts (impossible to know since nobody outfits their people with ruger's) it'd be even cheaper. There are reasons beside price that people pick glocks.

My S&W 617 is shooting left no matter how far right I adjust the rear sight, even in single-action.
I'm dead-on with my Glock 19, so I'm thinking it's the gun.
Any ideas?

>>33697565
You realize he's talking about when Glock was a brand new company in the 1980s right? Read a book sometime /k/!

>>33697835
Aim to the right?

>>33697835
I've read a lot of reports of S&W barrels coming canted from the factory. If it's under warranty, might need to send it in.

>>33698554
If I don't see any progress over my next couple of range trips I'll probably do that, thanks.

>>33636702
I realize its retarded but how retarded is ccing a model 29.

also, when did S&W start shitting the bed

>>33699261
Good .44 Mag loads will blow straight through a person like a Wayne Gretzky slapshot through a birthday cake, and 47.7 oz. is a bit much for 6 rounds of .44 Spl.
A stainless gun like the 629 would be more resistant to body sweat and easier to take care of in general.
N-frames in general are a bit on the large side, and ill-suited for concealment.

I didn't pay for it so don't judge me.

>>33641485
The EAA, outside of full barrel is literally just a chopped and unfinished fullsize barrel and the gun itself is not a high round count quality gun. Good enough fuck around gun, but not something to rely on long term

>>33644192
Look for a Ruger Bearcat

>>33646971
Who said anything about custom work? Gunsmiths may as well be mechanics most if the time. Lots of em make ends meat by doing scope mounting, cleaning and basic maintenance. It's not all becoming the Ted Yost or Jason Burton

>twice as thick
Thank god you put that so early in your post cause I was worried I was gonna have to read that whole wall of shit to call you a retard

>>33699261
do you like Dirty Harry?

>>33655103
No, because carrying without a pocket holster is retarded. The only reason pocket revolvers are better for that job are contact shots and shooting through a coat pocket. Autos are better in every other way for the job

>>33701903
Zing

>>33658480
What about any of that was actually supposed to be advice, because non of it was and it sure as hell wasn't good

>>33699261

Terrible for follow up shots and low cap. An 8 round 627 is a better option for a handful of reasons. Stainless, higher cap, easier to get back on target, less recoil, etc.

>>33701903
A Glock is barely an inch thick.
An L-frame is over an inch and a half.
Not twice as thick, but close enough when you're trying to stuff it down your pants.

>>33679824
I watched the whole thing waiting for the ND. Kinda sad now

>>33680578
That would be the MR88 and F1

>>33636702
How is the recoil on the colt SAA and its copies (45colt/44mag)? I hear a lot that it's not as much into the wrist as you'd expect due to muzzle rise.

Really want to play with one but no where around here seems to rent even a vaquero

>>33700341
>like a Wayne Gretzky slapshot through a birthday cake
Fuck I feel old now. I had gretzky trading cards

>>33702529
It's nearly impossible to ND with a SAA, especially modern clones with transfer bar safeties, for reasons that should be obvious.

>>33702529
load one, skip one, load four. the chamber under the hammer is 99% likely to be empty.

>>33702413
The G19 is 1.18" thick, the thickest part of a K or L frame is 1.446", many other autos are around 1.25". What you fail to realize is where that thickness does and doesn't matter. The grip and OAL are the issues with concealment and revolvers conceal easily due to where that thickness is.

>>33702697
Oh I know, but I expect human error in every video I see in that format

What you mean to say was "don't spin loaded guns"

some guy in my area is selling this S&W 28-2 for 450. Is this a good deal, and is it worth buying for my first double action?

>>33702834
That's pricey, check pawn shops and shit for a used one it'll be closer to $350.

Just know what to look for, cracks, bore etc
Oh and cock the hammer then try to push it forward and fire without touching the trigger. Skip on the gun or talk a nigga down like $150 if you can fire it without the trigger. If you do buy one like that bob the hammer yourself and have a nice DA only

Old S&Ws are great guns.

>>33647852
Steel man. Once you shoot steel with its hard to go back to paper. The only time I shoot paper is accuracy testing and zeroing. And even then a fresh coat of paint and ten rounds on the steel is a fine way to verify zero and get a great idea of what the gun actually does.. "Effective accuracy"-wise. Plus that oh so beautiful auditory hit confirmation is God damn addicting

>>33655420
Those lovely fixed sights. A beaut, like she was carved out of a bar o soap.
