It's the shape of the grip. It fits the hand more naturally than the grip of a semi-automatic which must account for a magazine. Even so, the grip shape of a double action revolver isn't as good as it gets. A single action revolver, which doesn't need to house any of the mechanism in the grip, is the best handling, most natural pointing handgun you can get. The only thing that feels better in your hand than a single action revolver is your own cock.

They're mechanically interesting, don't require magazines, generally feel good in the hand, and are capable of handling magnum-class cartridges.

Call me when my revolver fails to feed, double feeds, has rounds nose diving on a feed ramp, fails to eject, fails to go into battery, fails because I used it to do a contact shot, or fails because the slide was touching something/being grabbed when I fired it.

Bullshit.

Magnum cartridges don't mean shit, just because they can take down a bear doesn't mean that they're good for in a woods defense, like how technically I can drive to the gun store on a fucking lawnmower.

Reliability is a lie. Best benchmark out there is to put 5k rounds through your pistol without cleaning it, using decent enough ammo. Many pistols of different brands and makes have passed this benchmark.

They're impossible to service at home without risking life and limb next range trip, if not outright impossible without the proper tooling that is of such limited access that it is virtually impossible. Where as with all my pistols, I can strip them down to screws and fucking springs with my hands, a screw driver, a bean bag, a hammer and a set of pin punches.

Revolvers don't have much anything going for them outside of that they're fun to shoot, because of the mechanical manipulation.

>>33955533
>I can't find .38
This has literally never happened. The last gun store at the end of the universe will have a full shelf of .357 and .38 right between the .30-06 and .22lr.

>>33955533
Have you ever actually taken apart a revolver m80? They're pretty simple to put together and sort out most timing issues with basic hand tools.

>>33955533

"It shoots like shit" after shooting anything without cleaning.

Yhe bro, Im 100% with You, it shoots like shit after 2500 rounds.

as a matter of fact You shot 2500 rounds and You question revolver reliability?

When life and limb is on the line, would You Trust a simple revolver or would You trust a 1200$ ultra polished glock when You have to stop to take a shit in the middle of nowhere (excuse my indecency)

Both are good but You need to be sure.

Whats it gonna be, something with more moving parts?

You're really grasping for straws, bro. I hope you're just trying to troll and don't actually drink your own Kool-Aid. In case you do, however:

>muh barrel changes

A non-issue for any revolver of decent quality. See pic: some guy got a squib load in his revolver and firing seven more times before noticing. The only damage to the barrel or the gun was that the barrel bulged slightly. On any automatic other than a USP, the whole gun would have glocknaded.

>durr I need to install a new trigger

Again, a non-issue. A decent revolver made by any reputable has a good factory trigger that only gets better as it's used. The trigger on a cheap gun like an LCR is in its stock configuration a better DA trigger than you will find on any non-bespoke automatic.

>muh light primer strikes

A spring change is something anyone can do himself, unless he is trying to do it in a Colt.

>thinks .357 is expensive
>thinks .38 special is hard to find

Are there people who actually believe this?

>thinks revolvers are damaged when dropped

Meanwhile, one of the regular elements of Ruger's product presentations to law enforcement was the salesman repeatedly throwing the gun against concrete and then running it over.

how is it nobody is talking about energy and accuracy yet?

I've got a revolver i paid $435 for. It hits harder than a 10mm and that's really the best an automatic can offer.

I shoot at 50m and 60m and I hit stuff. There isn't any automatic that can compete. Everything that comes close weighs 7 pounds and costs at least $2587.52.

With a revolver like mine, it's easy and natural to practice by dry firing. I've got a good sight picture and a long sight radius.

> I can hit stuff.
> it dies when I do

really, it's the automatic that's playing catch-up. Not only is a revolver better, but a rifle is, too

>>33953931
>Let's face it: mag-fed pistols are superior to revolvers. Period.

wrong

The one and only argument wheel-guns used to have was reliability. Now it's absolutely clear that magazine semi-auto pistols are generally just as reliable as any revolver can be.

wrong

1)Points better and more naturally
2)Easier to manipulate in the dark
3)Safer
4)No feeding issues
5)No slide racking
6)Higher power ammo available
7)No picking up brass
8)Limp-wristing not an issue
9)Can be fired repeatedly at point-blank range (pressed against target)
10)Easier to determine loaded/unloaded status and number of rounds available
11)Just pull the trigger again
12)No magazines to bend/have springs go bad/lose, etc.
13)Can be used one handed
14)There is more but there are a LOT of faggots on here who but shit like 9mm autos and ARs because they are in vidya games and don't know shit about shooting.

Caliber swapping, threaded barrels, barrels with muzzle breaks .

And no shit sherlock, that appears to be what happens when you shoot underpowered rounds, completely expected considering that the barrel itself is also the average thickness you'd see in a regular Pistol

>Trigger

No, triggers do not get better with time. They don't. They slightly polish mating surfaces but that's at best a 10% improvement. Polish a piece of shit, its still a piece of shit. Springs also wear out over time, I'd sooner replace a spring on a Pistol than a Revolver.

And why the fuck would I want a DA only pistol? And thats especially funny when M1911s are heralded as having the best damn triggers, period.

And the point is, with pistols, I don't have to worry about stupid shit like fucking up the timing, where even a fraction of an inch will grenade the revolver.

And the fact that there are revolvers out there that need that sort of service work, is hilarious.

>BUH MUH SANDY VAG DON APPLY

Motherfucker, first things that come off the shelves for me during every habbening in Fuddington, Wi, is .22lr, .357 Mag, .44 Mag, .3006 and 5.56.

When I searched and scrounged for even fucking components, I found jack and shit. The rescalpers took everything and turned what normally is .50 fucking cents a round, which already pisses me the fuck off because I'm not buying overpriced pistol ammo when I could buy good .308, and flipping it for 1.50 to 2 dollars a round. Even reloading components skyrocketed, especially anything for cowboy shooters. And this. fucking. happens. every. fucking. time.

>throwing the gun against concrete and then running it over.

You mean that one time Ruger worked with Manurhin and from the deep, forged the most sacred of unobtainium.

Then dropped like it was hot because it was too reliable, and now starts at a minimum of 800 fuckbucks?

And partially because with better metallurgy, Pistols started being capable of the same?

>>33956974
What compromise?

For what purpose?

Its the same retarded belief that .45 acp is best because
>MUH BIGGUH BOOLIT

By pure statistics alone, in one shot wonder, incapacitations, a .357 Magnum did something like 6% better while a .38 Spec did 3% better, as opposed to 9mm working 35% of the time.

What. Compromise.

Against bears? Motherfucker, first fucking thing about bears is that if you're not carrying Bear Mace, you're better off as Bear shit for polluting the gene pool. Second, don't expect your wimp dick snubby to fucking do anything other than to piss off a Bear, adrenaline, of course, being one hell of a drug. If you're looking for Bear defense, Bear Mace and a 12 Gauge shooting 3" or 3.5" Slugs. Period. You do not fight Bears, you make yourself a massive pain in the ass, get the fuck out of dodge, or pump them with enough copper and lead that fridge magnets stick.

So, what. Compromise.

>>33960735
Where did you get those numbers?

There are advantages and disadvantages to revolvers and semi-automatic pistols.

Generally, semi-autos stand up to abuse better, hold much more rounds, and their cartridges maintain their energy better. They've largely replaced revolvers in military and police use for good reason.

However, revolvers still maintain their niche for civilian use. I would not look down on anyone who chooses to carry a revolver to defend themselves.
