Is there any reason I shouldn't buy a snubnosed revolver as my first gun? Primary purpose is home defense due to a recent break-in attempt.

Pros
>simple to operate, maintain, and load
>can keep it loaded
>like the aesthetic
>won't scare gf

Cons
>small shot capacity
>won't intimidate anyone and would require me to shoot them (I live in California btw)

My budget is sub-$500. Any advice, /k/?

They kick like a mule and are no fun to shoot.

Small revolvers usually have significant kick, making them not super fun to put 200 rounds through, which is what you should be doing as a newly hasguns.

If you want a revolver as your first gun but have no intention of carrying, you might as well go full-size. Something like a model 10 trade-in. Sturdy, reliable, classy and soft shooting

You'd be 10000 times better off just buying a shotgun or a used glock 19/17.

A shotgun might not hold much more ammo than a revolver, but buckshot is much more deadly than any handgun round.

Something like a glock has much higher capacity, but desu I'm not sure if the CA 10 round mag limit applies only to guns being carried or guns in general.

Either way just get a shotgun, Maverick 88's are like $200 or you can pick up a Mossberg 500 for about a hundred dollars more.

>>33890703

That's even worse, even with .44 special: Larger, same 5 shot capacity, awful recoil, .45 ACP ballistics.

snubbies are only viable with .38 +P
>>
>>33890703
>44 mag snub
i'd love to see you put 200 rounds in at the range with that
>>
>>33890703
You need strong hands to use 44 mag snub.
Use .45ACP revolver. you will got a 230gr bullet as.45 Colt but less recoil.(and ammo are cheaper)
2 inch barrel is too short for .45 Colt, too. so the muzzle velocity are almost the same with .45ACP.

>>
>>33890788

.357 is not terrible out of a 2" barrel, but a significant portion of the energy that could be imparted to the bullet by the powder load is wasted as muzzle flash as the hot gas stops accelerating the bullet once it leaves the barrel.

I have heard it argued that .38 SPC, with its lighter powder load, a better choice for a 2" barrel. It's less powerful of course, but the recoil is negligible compared to a .357 out of such a short barrel, improving your chances of hitting something.

Looking at the chart for .357, you can get significantly better performance with a 4" barrel and have a gun that is not that much bigger than a 2" snub-nose.
>>
>>33889735
Don't get a snubby. As a newb without a lot of practice you can very easily miss someone on the other side of the room in a tense situation. Revolvers are great for beginners, just get one with a longer barrel.

>>
>>33890968
A 9mm will carry more rounds, be more compact, and be quicker to reload. same level of "firepower" per round as a .38 and comparable to a .44 spc considering you're talking about a .09" larger round at approximately the same velocity. But with much better designed JHPs on the market.

Only real reason for a snubby is a pocket gun or muh aesthetics in which case you should go with a 5 shot .38. Hell you can probably even find a pocket gun in 9mm.

If it's gonna be IWB and firepower per round is your concern than get something with a 4" barrel. Frankly revolvers are easier to conceal usually than automatics anyways.

Not even about having lessons. is about shooting 10$ worth of ammo once a month and putting a drop of oil on your rails after the fact. If you completely ignore a revolvers regular maintenance it can fuck up eventually and much more catastrophically than an automatic. If you don't go shooting semi regularly then you'll be endangering everybody in the general direction of any BG you shoot at because you wont be able to hit shit. for that matter putting them down in anything approaching a timely fashion will be unlikely because you cant hit shit. These are the kinds of people who accidentally a 5yr old across the street when shooting at a hood, or leave a gun in a drawer for years until a curious kid comes over, finds it, and hurts somebody.

Now that all the people complaining about the recoil on a snubbie are off somewhere washing their pink lace panties, let me tell you: those guns are fine. I have a Ruger LCR in .357 Magnum that I keep in my nightstand as my "bump in the night" gun. The recoil is by no means too much, especially if you shoot .38 out of it.

Fuck off. Recoil is more about follow up shots than anything, because you're not going to be fucking Clint Eastwood at 3 AM in the dark numbnuts.
And good luck staying oriented when you fire a .357 off in your hallway without earpro, especially out of a snubbie.

>>
>>33892776
You want earpro with anything, but there is a massive difference between a .38 and .357 in terms of loudness, again, especially out of a snubbie with all those gasses escaping so quickly.
I say this from experience, it's loud indoors even with earpro.

it is far more dangerous to have a fully loaded revolver then a full mag in a semiauto
revolver means the firing pin is resting on the primer, or it is cocked. Only way to eliminate the possibility of accidental discharge is to have one empty chamber (lowering already feeble capacity)
a fully loaded semiauto with one in the chamber and a de-cocker will never have any chance of accidental discharge

If you're not going to be carrying it, absolutely no reason to get anything smaller than a 4" barrel 38 revolver. Smal barrel 38's are also controllable using 147gr full wadcutters. That's what I would recommend.
>won't intimidate anyone and would require me to shoot them (I live in California btw)
ABSOLUTE bullshit
Criminals know the deadly threat even small guns represent, and the snubby 38 is well known. Also you shouldn't be pointing a gun at an armed criminal and waiting to see if he's gonna shoot first or run.
Grab a used model 10 , earpro and spend the rest of your budget in ammo. Train a lot. Get a cheap $15 flashlight to go with it (target ID at night).
A revolver is simpler for your gf to use but "intimidading" her is stupid reasoning, best way for a gun to not intimidate her is making sure she knows the gun and is confident with it

Shotguns are terrible for beginners. Carbines are the easiest effective gun to use.

Also if you support anyone buying a .22 for self defence you can fuck off. It'll get them killed, they should buy an easy to use gun like a carbine instead. Even a Hi Point carbine would do the job.
>>
>>33897215
In CA, the rifles with pistol grip need use fixed magazine. Even Hi Point Carbine.
Shotgun always make sense in home defense, if you are so weak to fire 12ga , you can use 20ga or 410ga shotgun which have less recoil.

>Primary purpose is home defense

If you do not intend to CC, then size and concealability are non-issues. The larger a gun is in relation to the round it fires, the less recoil you have to deal with. The bullet will also have a higher velocity upon exiting the barrel. Nothing wrong with a revolver for home defense, but if that's its primary purpose, get a big fucking .357 mag. Something with a seven or eight round cylinder and a 5" to 8" barrel. It will be easier to shoot quickly and accurately and hit harder than your snubbie.
>>
>>33897370
.357 mag ammo is expensive.

>>33889735
You need to forget about a snub nosed revolver. Those are for carry only. In California you'll likely never get a carry permit so really don't worry about that.

You've basically got 3 choices. In my opinion your best choice is a cheap pump shotgun in 12 guage. You'll save enough money under budget to buy some good ear protection and several boxes of shells. Buy birdshot at first to get used to shooting and recoil. Once you've done that buy slugs or buckshot for home defense. I started off no guns myself and a Remington 870 express was my first gun. Maverick 88 or Mossberg 500 are also good options. They're very easy to operate and also have the intimidation factor you'd like. You can even get one with wood stock so it doesn't look super scary to the girlfriend.

Options 2 and 3 would be to get a less expensive semi-auto handgun or a used full size revolver (if you're absolutely stuck on having a revolver). You could get a brand new Ruger American in 9mm or 45mm for not too much more than the pump shotgun. They're not really super complicated.
>>
>>33897657
Second this. Pump 12 gauge or full size revolver.

Or just buy a Hi Point C-9. Cheap gun. Cheap ammo. Don't have to worry about mag restriction. Buy new, and it'll work fine and you'll have a great warranty.
>>
>>33891680

It's fine. Not the best, but neither are handguns anyway.

Look at all the vids of self defense shootings online. In pretty much every single one, civilian draws a pistol, starts shooting, and the criminals are all of a sudden olympic sprinters trying to get away. The only time anyone seems to go down is if the civilian shooter hits the CNS.

It'd play out the same way with .22lr tbqhfam.

Shotguns are NOT terrible for beginners. Don't listen to this guy, OP. Get a used police trade in 870, or a new Mossberg 500, spend the rest on ammo. You can then also go hunting for ANY North American game with it, if you so choose. The ammo is in EVERY Walmart in the world, and as long as you're not trying to shoot 3in shells out of it all the time, it's not a bad shooter. Besides, buckshot is proven HD ammunition. Get some cheap buck, shoot 1k's of rounds through it, and you'll be good. No one will get your goods.

It certainly wasn't for the elitist New York billionaire, I'll tell you that shit.

>not voting for the one man who is literally speaking at an NRA convention and installing pro-2A judges
you dont deserve the right to own a gun, sorry

>>33900239
Yeah, you voted for the world's first crony libertarian.
>>
>>33899408
That's a reasonable argument when you're talking 9mm vs .45

It's not reasonable to make that argument when we're talking about .22 vs 9mm, .357, etc.

That being said, he actually isn't. Libertarianism has nothing to do with American concepts of liberty, it's the ideological child of Austrian economics i.e. continental philosophy that is directly antithetical to Liberalism born in Britain and matured in America. Libertarian scholars at the top of the heap reject personal liberty on principle because it's a threat to wider (economic and state) liberty. Ron Paul is a bad Libertarian because he values the Constitution and tradition. Stay away from Libertarians, vote for traditional Constitutionalists.

just get yourself either a pump shotgun or a full size 6" barrel revolver or 5" barrel pistol

a snubnose is not ideal for a host of reasons
>>
>>33900177
Retard.
>>
>>33889735
Remember, there's a reason guns come with different barrel lengths, if the length changed nothing outside of the size of the gun than no one would ever make a gun with a barrel longer than an inch or two.

>The only last practical argument is it won't scare people, as anyone I live with will likely be a liberal who finds guns problematic and racist
Holy shit are you that much of a pussy?
At that point just bend over and take it when jamal breaks into your home.

>>33900254
That's my fucking point.

I've heard it said that revolvers are the best for people who want a gun for home defense but don't wanna spend the time getting used to an automatic.
>pull trigger bad ammo/misfire
gotta have the reflex to work the slide. but with the revolver
>pull trigger again and goes blam.

This is how my uncle explained why he gave his daughter a revolver when she moved into her own place over anything else.

>>33902515
What is more difficult -- getting used to the more complex MoA of an auto or training to be able to handle and move past the recoil of a revolver shooting a magnum cartridge?
>>
>>33900380
U wot. And liberals vote for freedoms
>>
>>33902688
I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.
>>
>>33902688
he was talking about libertarians, not liberals, and liberals do not vote for freedom in any way whatsoever. They vote for big government and hope for collectivist reforms
>>
>>33902515
Can't some people just like revolvers?
>>
>>33890176
A snubbie is an odd case: it's either the most useful handgun for someone who's never going to train and just wants something to go bang when they pull the trigger or it's best used in the hands of an absolute expert.

Everyone in between is better suited to using a semi-automatic.

"moon clips solve the problem of jumped crimps"

except that they don't, retard. A jumped crimp is entirely unrelated to moon clips.

>>33891032
it's demonstrated in this video. It hurts my soul to post a TYM video, but he's the only one who's demo'd this.

This, but instead of .22 revolver get a .38 SPL charter arms and learn/plink with light target loads.
