Whats your reason for not having a 6 shooter yet /k/?

>>34058091
I have a 15+1 shooter?

>>34058091
I have a Colt Navy repro and a RIA M200

>>34058091
I have a GP100.

>>34058091
Haven't had a reason TO get one yet

Genuine lack of interest. The only one I like enough to shoot and own is a Colt Python, though I don't like it enough to justify the price.

>>34058161
What will you do if some city slicker tries to tie up your hogs, and theres a bandit under your porch, if you have a six shooter you will be protected.

I have a Cattleman II

How is the M200, by the way? Specifically, how's the trigger? The only numbers I found were for the double-action trigger, so it obviously sucked nuts. I was looking into getting one a while back.

already had one, was gonna get a cheap .38 but classic firearms had some p64's for sale

the only fuddy five gun I want is a revolver, should I get a colt single action?

At the risk of starting some shit flinging what are the "best" revolvers if you had to take one into combat. Im talking 8 shot 357s or tacticool revolvers in general, or what you guys think would be the best.

Do you think revolvers hold a viable place as a back up gun (not a sidearm, but a third weapon)

Shaddap, trips ignored. Yes, revolvers are viable even as one's only protection. Obviously no pistol is as good as a rifle, but when did you carry one of those in public? Git gud with it, and you won't need 15+1 to put down a threat.

Ive always wanted to take one of theses, toss a chubby polymer grip on it, and shorten the hammer throw distance while increasing it spring strength. Custom trigger and guard maybe. It would be the closest thing to a rex

The only ones I want are a Single Action Army and a Dragoon and both are out of my price range

>>34058091
Chiappa rhino is expensive senpai

>>34061555
only ones available are the new Ruger Redhawk which is only available with a short barrel, or S&W R8 variations
both are good, but you're gonna have to get a S&W if you want a barrel longer than 3"

>>34058091
Modern Semi Autos are superior in every way.

>>34058091
I haven't decided on one yet. Thinking of a Webley with a milled cylinder for .45 ACP.

Because the state has decided that while I'm old enough to buy long guns, drive, join the military, vote, be drafted, and run for public office I'm far too young and irresponsible to buy a fucking handgun (or drink).

Can't have anyone under 21 robbing stores or committing suicide

I have had a couple of modern wheelguns for years, they're fun and I like them. But a friend gave me an 1858 Remington .44 cap-and-ball revolver about a year ago, and man, I'm hooked. A day in the backyard range is now a LOT more fun. There's a process involved, and you have to collect the necessary paraphernalia and learn some new skills - but I don't know why I never got into this before. I'd rather spend a day shooting black powder now than firing off my AR-15. Not to mention the fact that I can spend $20 on powder, lead balls, and patches and then shoot all day with half my investment left over for the next session.

If you haven't tried cap-and-ball revolvers yet, don't - you'll just end up with another addiction. Fortunately, it isn't an expensive one. I got the 1858 Remington clone (steel frame by Pietta) as a gift, bought a new 1860 Colt .44 clone for $250, and I have maybe $200 worth of assorted supplies for the both of them. I'm set for many hundreds if not thousands of shots with a couple of pounds of black powder and a couple of boxes of round balls.

Read all you can to do it safely and efficiently, but man, is this ever fun.

>>34062369
Oh an exploding Webley? Those are great!

Whats the best company producing reproduction revolvers similar to OPs pic? Or other single action revolvers as well.

Got my Redhawk last year senpai.

>>34062933
It's the Glock of it's day!

>>34063013
Pietta. Uberti used to be good, but double the price; for over a decade now Pietta has improved fit and finish and Uberti's QC has suffered somewhat.

For your first, I'd go with the Pietta Remington 1858, steel frame. Then maybe a Pietta Colt 1860, again steel frame. Brass frames are fine at lighter loads (which are plenty fun) but suffer after repeated full loads. Probably 80% of what I shoot out of my .44's (which are steel frame) are half loads anyway. No need for more when plinking.

If you want a modern smokeless cartridge revolver that looks like an SAA, it's hard to go wrong with a Ruger.

Fairly meh. Big chunk of lead on a stubby little case, so not great muzzle velocity, but it did give give many years of good service knocking down fuzzy-wuzzies and Germans. You obviously want the Mk III bullet, because who doesn't want a cylindrical hollowpoint?

What does /k/ think of the Pietta 1873?

Cap and ball is a serious addiction... and i kind of envy you since it's damn expensive where i live.

>>34062699
Off topic, but would you ever trust one for self defense?

>>34065098

>>34064973
>it's damn expensive where i live
>the new repro ones require permits

Damn shame. What state? I live in Kansas/Missouri and just got a $160 Pietta 1851 Navy shipped to my door.

>>34065098
It's a .451 lead ball. With a hot load, it can do a lot of damage. Problem is that follow up shots are slow (single action), and smoke and noise are confusing in a self-defense situation. If it's all you have, it'll do the job, but for self-defense you should use a modern firearm.

>>34065209

Not even close... i live in Sweden ;(

>>34060144
I live in CA and have 3, all repo's. 2 1858's and a Colt 1851. The two Rem's have conversions, one 45acp, one 45LC. I like the '51 just like it is.

>>34066377
Wait. I've heard of 45LC, but ACP sounds like you want your gun to explode

>>34066389
Not at all. The conversion cylinder is made for the pressure, which isn't all that high anyway. The manufacturer advises lead bullets only. I've shot commercial ball and plated, but 185G SWC handloads run quite well, so that's generally what I shoot.

as for self defense. yeah its better than having a .22 and better than any non firearm.
I mean just as long as youre using smokeless powder.
you use black powder and the inside of the house will look like a civil war reenactment.

So what? I'd say my black powder pistol was for recreational shooting but I was desperately in fear for my life. If I had violent premeditated intent I'd have bought a Glock, but I'm just a sweet gentle soul at heart. Looks better in court.

>>34065230
OTOH if you shoot the fuck out of it for fun and get competent, most any firearm becomes a natural extension of the shooter. Your assailant won't be expecting smoke and you can get surprisingly fast with a single action.

I might have to get a black powder rifle for SHTF hunting because you can fit a shitload of powder, bullets, and percussion caps in very little space compared to cartridge weapons.

It's a 1915 all matching gun, but it's been shaved sadly.

And neither cartridge actually has more stopping power as the entire phrase is BS.

This is a good point. Frontiersmen carried YEARS' worth of supplies with them. Granted, that's not six-mags-a-firefight burn rates like we might see in a modern military, but it's definitely useful for true SHTF.
