That's all you need.

>>34042116
>maybe if someone can invent one that can hold more than 6 bullets but that will never happen
Already been done. Smith and Wesson make an 8 shot 357 magnum.

>>34042215
>S&W .357 with 8 rounds
I think Taurus has one too. I wish there was an 8-shooter .357 in a 2" concealable revolver, but I haven't seen one yet.

There's also those .327 revolvers that hold more than 6, and those .22LR and .22 WMR revolvers that hold like 10-12 rounds in the cylinder.

>obsolete

Good luck killing a bear with your glock 19 faggot.

>>34042116
>why would you buy a gun that hold only six bullets

Because I can. Don't tell me what to do you tacticool, larping, mallninja. Maybe I like to buy guns for fun, while you throw an autistic shitfit.

In short, your argument is "MAN LIKE GUN WITH DIFFERENT BOOLET CAPACITY BECAUSE HE LIKES FUN, THE ZAMBIES WILL KEEL HIM!"

>>34042262
Is your 38 special gonna do anything to the bear or is it to an hero before it gets close

As shitty bait as it is any revolver-fags mind telling me why they prefer a revolver to a pistol??

>>34042296
His 38 spcl probably won't, but the 44 magnum probably will

>>34042296
>revolvers only come in .38
Anon plz.

>>34042305
Bullet power tends to be stronger in a like for like comparison (124 9mm vs 125 357mag), less chance of a mechanical failure, second strike capability which many semis lack, ability to hot load rounds to levels semi auto could only dream of. Also, 357 out if a lever action is almost as powerful as a 30-30. 9mm or 40 Cal out of a carbine is around or slightly above a 357 out if a revolver

>>34042116
>why would you ever buy a gun that only holds 6 bullets?
Because I'm capable of hitting what I'm aiming at in under seven tries.

>>34042116
Even though this is a pile of bait, I hear this come up outside of /k/, to which I say:

>yes, a standard revolver holds 6 rounds
>but
>what about people who carry:
>g43/42
>shield
>xd
>ppk
>1911
>any other single stack that holds 6 (or maybe 7-8) rounds
>?

If capacity is your only autistic trigger, why doesn't anyone have a problem with these?
To me, revolvers are fine since (most likely) the caliber is hotter than most common autos are spitting out. Comparing a single stack 9 with 6 rounds to a .357 with 6- you get the idea.

Only disadvantage is reload speed. But when you're Revolver Ocelot, that doesn't matter.

Personally I have almost the opposite opinion. I will never own a single stack micro gun for ccw, because, like I said, if I'm going to only have (around) 6 shots, they may as well be 6 cannon blasts.

t. doesn't carry revolver or single stack

>>34042308
>>34042312
If he can choose his straw man I can choose mine.

Small revolvers make good back-up guns and big bore revolvers are accurate and good for handgun hunting.

As a self-defense weapon? Unless you're going for the small form factor of .38spl or something, eh.

Thanks for the answers was thinking of getting a Taurus Judge I like the idea of it is it a decent gun?

A 44 mag could do the exact same thing. And with less fear of under penetration

>>34042371

>Taurus Judge

No. Even ignoring Taurus quality, it's a meme gun.

For a first revolver, or even a general use revolver, I would recommend a Ruger GP100.

Because nobody fucks with .357 magnum. Sure wonder 9's hold 17+1, because their 9mm and you're probably going to need them. However .357 magnum 125 grain jhp coming out of a 4 inch like the GP100 is going to kill anything if you place the shots where they need to go. One of the only hollow points worth a damn that actually penetrates is a Buffalo Bore .357 round. Even in a snub it's good stuff.....

>>34042419
Ah got it. Why not a S&W 500 Magnum?

>>34042371
don't get taurus anything, you have a bigger chance to hurt yourself while shooting than whatever is your target

>>34042450
>Why not a S&W 500 Magnum?

Stranger. What you need that for?

Going huntin' an elephant?

>>34042371
I like shooting clays with my 6inch barrel judge

thats about it, not really practical for anything else

>>34042450

>expensive
>ammo is incredibly expensive
>not practical for home defense or carry
>not practical for range practice

A .357 can be used for self defense, hunt deer and protect you from bears.

A .500 could technically do all that but its not a fun gun unless you're shooting at stuff to see what happens. And or hunting African big game.

A .357 is infinitely more versatile

>>34042450
In the event that this is a serious question:

.500 Magnum is an extremely expensive round that is difficult to obtain locally. Buying a gun that uses it with the intention of actually practicing with that gun enough to eventually become good with it entails being a reloader. That's why the other anon recommended .357 Magnum. It is versatile, powerful, comparatively inexpensive, available everywhere, and interchanges with .38 Special.

Additionally, if you wanted to shoot one of the super magnum cartridges, you would be better off with a gun chambered in .460 Magnum anyway.

>>34042371
Unless you're getting a poorman's 92 (which is still insane), then no, its not worth it. Likewise, certain loads don't shoot well out of snubnoses, so stick with .357 or .44 if that's the route you're going.

The public defender model is probably the most versatile revolver out of the box available to the average man.

>45acp
>45 colt
>.410
>Anything you can get a insert for which is basically everything in pistol calibers.

I doubt most people here understand there are loads made specifically for the judge. Not just .410 shells available anymore.

I would bet my life is safer with a public defender in my hand when shtf than with many other pistols.

>>34042116
OP is a cyclopean faggot.

>>34042262
I'm sorry but what fucking bear are you shooting with .357 but black bear, aka, the small pussy bear?
A bear which can easily be dusted with 9mm Luger or .45ACP but it doesn't fucking matter because it's a black bear and they reliably turn and run from harsh words.

You ain't picking a grizzly with .357 Magnum.

>>34042116
Reliability is why, motherfucker.

>>34042260
Didn't Ruger make an 8 shot 357 with 2' barrel recently?

>>34043875
Yes, and it's not concealable, and I don't get why anon thinks it could be.

>>34043875
Yeah, and if it didn't have a retarded barrel length I would've bought one instead of the Dan Wesson 715 I just bought.

Ignore the poorfags. Price the gun and the ammo; if after doing that you say "I can afford this" then do it. I had people tell me the same thing on my lever gun (.45-70 vs .30-30 vs magnum handgun caliber). I ignored them and bought the .45-70 and it was one of the best decisions ever.

Holy fuck the autism in this thread. You all act like a bunch of operator wannbes. "Hurr durr if it's not optimal for CC or self defense it's useless!!1!". You know there are a lot of reasons besides CC/SD to buy a handgun? Large caliber magnum revolvers a good for hunting, large animal defense, and vaporizing fruits/veggies at the range to name a few. Jesus, if you don't like revolvers then don't buy one, but don't run around telling people how much they suck and nobody should own one.

Good job glockfag. You're a hardass killing that large treedog

Everyone is replying to shit stupid thread so I may as well. I carry a revolver because it is simple and safe. I always know what the condition is. Loaded, ready to fire. I can visibly see that this is the case. I can see the bullets and the hammer. It is never cocked bit always ready to fire, but I could if I wanted to. The trigger and hammer are somewhat heavy, thats the only safety I need. You would have to be fucking retarded to accidentally pull the trigger. It is very easily to mechanically disable: strap buttoned over the hammer. No buttons or springs or any shit to rely on for that.

.357 and .44 have a very high percentage of fatal single shots. Meaning one even somewhat decently placed shot will probably kill someone. Contrary to movies killing with one shot is pretty common. A bullet wound will fuck you up really god damn bad, you will bleed a shitload, organs can be vaporised or even just fucked up from concussive force. So while many rounds achieve a pretty damn high percentage of single shot fatality, .44 and .357 are even higher.

I can also transfer that power into distance. In short range 6 shots is going to leave someone instantly dead. 1, 2, maybe 3 shots, thats 1000% fatality. But I have distance as well. Hot fat rounds will maintain power for a longer distance as well. .357 and .44 are capable of hunting, killing a deer with one shot, within 50-150 yards, and is done so regularly.

Practice pays off a lot with revolvers. They are harder to shoot and control. With a 9mm you can get very precise and accurate shots more easily and then you focus more on dealing with all the mechanical aspects of the gun, like clearing jams and reloading and shit. 90% of my practice deals with accuracy and precision, dealing with more and more powerful rounds, and throw in some long distance shooting. If I could practice as much as I wanted I would have a weapon that could kill 6 people in 6 shots in a few seconds with utter certainty.

For guys that carry .357 Magnum, do you carry snubs or revolvers with longer barrels?

>>34048183
Snubby. But for training I use 38 wad cutters. 357 in my tiny gun makes my hands hate me after 2 or 3 reloads

>>34043132

Most single stack carry pistols hold 6-8 rounds as well. And most of them only in 9mm, while a revolver can get shit like 357 and even 44 with the same amount of rounds. I fail to see the issue here.


>b....but I need 40 rounds of ammo every single day to carry

Point me to more than 2 stories of a guy being robbed or attacked and needed anything more than a few shots to put a target down. It happens very rarely. And this is in tough cities like Chicago, Philly, LA. If you are some faggot living in bumfuck nowhere, that has no crime at all, it makes even less sense to carry that much ammo. Stop watching fucking movies. Real life shootouts almost never happens.
