Does it bum anyone else out a little that revolvers are now completely

Revolvers doctrine is pretty easy for new shooters. Also, they're pretty simple to operate and maintain. Also seeing as they can handle harder hitting cartridges and most civilian involved shooting are resolved in 5 rounds or less, a revolver is more than adequate to perform.

As for EDC, they make revolvers pretty light weight and not as bulky, but... with an auto, you can have more capacity and a slimmer profile.

They aren't as antiquated as people think.

I sometimes want to buy, shoot and carry a revolver since they're so fun but yeah. Too impractical since I carry a Glock 19.

One day, I'm buying a 642 tho.

>and most civilian involved shooting are resolved in 5 rounds or less, a revolver is more than adequate to perform.

Go ahead and bet your life on it.

That's great. You don't have a holster and despite all that dumb shit, you don't have a flashlight. That thing is talisman and you're 99.99% unprepared for a legitimate deadly encounter.

Not dumping all my shit onto my desk, those EDC threads are stupid. I carry a glock 39 concealed when I am out and about. I own a multitool but I do not carry knives or any of that shit and my phone has a flashlight

>>34214125
For everyday carry? Probably, but a revolver work just fine though and the police used to carry single action six shooters not that long ago and they would face situations way more challenging than the average person. What matters more is knowing how to use a gun, rather than what gun you are using.

I can shoot two attackers with two bullets. How about you?

This post is everything that's wrong with /k/ - putting equipment over practice and believing that magazine capacity or muh stopping power is an adequate substitute for being able to reliably hit what you're shooting at.

>>34214136
>Grow the fuck up
hahahahaha
I bet you're the kind of guy that would say .22lr can't be used for personal defense. The fudds might be on to something.

>>34214153

Again nothing you said there at all makes refutes the fact that a semi auto is the better weapon. I can hit two attackers with 4 bullets each, so what is the problem there?

Just because you can hit someone with the gun you use does not make your gun the better weapon.

>>34214154

Technically you could use 22 but I just would not use rimfire anything for self defense honestly

>>34214111
>>34214136

innawoods or wilderness is still a legitimate reason to use a revolver, if you need to shoot a charging bear you wont get more than 2-3 shots off anyway and they are more reliable + durable

I wouldn't use a .22 either but it can be done.
It's the same thing with revolvers.

Training > Equipment

>>34214025
Honestly, i don't think anything that has a mechanical/manual action and their own integral magazine will ever be truly obsolete since they don't require the recoil of the cartridge and a removable magazine to fire the next round.

Plus, when it comes comes to pistols, there really aren't many autoloaders that can reliably cycle anything bigger than .44 Magnum. Furthermore, guns where the mag well is the grip are pretty limited in how big they can reasonably be.

>>34214181

Which OP pointed out right in the first fucking post. But in that case you could argue a rifle or some hot and heavy 10mm

No one is saying revolvers are not decent lead slingers, they just are an inferior weapon compared to the semi auto. It would be like a lever action rifle vs a semi auto

>>34214153
Carry a two shot derringer then. What's the matter? Why do you need 5-6 rounds? Are you really that bad?

Why don't you just use your fists? You surely couldn't call yourself a man if you have to resort to using a gun to win a fight.

>>34214191

Post did not say obsolete, simply outdated and not as good as what has come after it comparatively.

>>34214191

What do you need larger than .44 magnum for? If you say bears then you miss the entire point.

Revolvers are good for urban youths to do drivebys without losing their shell casings tho

>>34214192
>rifle
A revolver is a bit easier to handle.
>lever action vs semi-auto
There are legitimate use cases for wanting a lever action. One is that they usually fire pistol cartriges so you could theoretically share ammo with a sidearm which can be a logistical benefit.
>>34214212
>What do you need larger than .44 magnum for?
Skinwalkers.

>A revolver is a bit easier to handle.

Not by much, a rifle carries more and is far more stable for follow up shots on whatever you think you will need.

>One is that they usually fire pistol cartriges so you could theoretically share ammo with a sidearm which can be a logistical benefit

Which really makes zero sense in this context that you would use a lever action with pistol ammo in conjunction with said pistol, but in that case there are plenty of ARs that do the same exact thing.

Revolvers are just inferior to semi autos, but are nice guns for having fun at the range regardless.

>>34214235
Cause I'm a disgusting casual fag. Also, it was a gift and I'm too lazy (and poor) to buy another mouse.

It's more like 2 or less in the cases where it actually does involve shooting, with the *overwhelming* majority of situations playing out with your perp skedaddling the fuck out of there as soon as he sees your gun, before you can pull the trigger once.

Statistically, I would be just as safe and sound with a Ruger Blackhawk .44 with RNL or an old COP Derringer loaded with .38 wadcutters as I would a Glock 17 or M&P Shield with Gold Dots or Safety Slugs

There's a reason that 5 shot .38 snubs are generally considered viable for carry, it's enough to matter, and the odds of ending up in a shootout are silly tiny, even in a shit place like Cleveland.
Anything higher in power or capacity comes down to personal preference, carry what you want, as long as it's not some Ring Of Fire deathtrap or Röhm junker in .22 Short, you're green.

>>34214282

No. Go away.

>>34214288

So then that settles it, revolvers are viable weapons as they have always been however the edge goes to the semi auto in pretty much every single way.

>>34214282
It'll fucking work for sure but you could get the same practical result with a .357 or 9mm

I'm all but certain that flashing a Dirty Harry kind of gun would have a little bit of extra intimidating effect though, especially if you address a perp as a punk.

>>34214295
Yes, it's a gun, it's intimidating, it goes bang reliably, the bang penetrates enough into a body to matter, it's a gun you're confident in; all this means you've made a good choice.

This isn't some "/k/ sure is summer" post I just... fuck like yeah if I'm in a modern military I better have a fucking autoloader but for personal carry as a civilian the difference is negligible.

How many times has the difference between life and death been how many bullets you can shoot or how fast can you reload?

Fuck I hope everyone who carries an autoloader because "revolvers are old and le meme" dies in a horrible accident where they forget to rack the slide and pull the trigger a bunch of times on an empty chamber.

Fuck I own literally 1 revolver and 5 semi-autos and I'm mad as fuck that this bullshit still persists to this fucking day.

No I don't think OP is serious and NO OFFICER I HAVEN'T BEEN DRINKING

I actually take what I say back.

If you are some nofuns moron who somehow came into some money and decided to get a pistol I would say get a semiautomatic. For exactly one reason.

You are gonna point at the problem and you are gonna pull the trigger. You won't aim, and if you try to you will miss. You will pull the gun out, point it near the problem, and you will magdump and you will feel like you are winning.

With a revolver you get 5-8 shots on a magdump but with a semiauto you might get as much as 16 or so and maybe one shot will accidentally get them in the leg rendering them unwilling to continue robbing you.

Autoloaders win if you are a fucking moron who buys a gun and never practices with it so you can magdump further. That is all.

NO OFFICER I AM STILL NOT DRINKING I THINK REPLYING TO THIS THREAD IS OKAY SO LONG AS I SAGE MY REPLIES

>>34214328
I honestly like my option of cocking the hammer for a quicker and smoother trigger pull. It's still an option for people who aren't strong enough to rack slides or for those with arthritis. It's just a different operation for a tool with the same end result.

>>34214328

Semi automatics do not have more bullets so that you can shoot more, it is to keep you in a position where you do not have to reload.

Revolvers are weapons, semi autos are better weapons. This is your life and the life of your loved ones we are talking about, it is worth increasing your odds on a better weapon.

And sage don't work buddy

Double action revolvers are idiot and stress proof.
A scared housewife can still down a robber with a 38. special by hysterically pulling the trigger and pointing the gun in his general direction.

They also don't send shells flying all around the place.

They are less practical in a gunfight if you're a trained shooter, but for gun newbies they're perfect.

Lots of retardation in this thread

>>34214025
For a service weapon, yeah, they're obsolete. For hunting, home defense, and self defense, they're still a perfectly capable platform.

Sooo much butthurt over a fucking revolver carry what you want if you train with it and are comfortable with it then you have a good chance of getting through a bad situation with it,if you don't train enough or properly then it doesn't matter what you have, you'll fail

Regardless of the actual survivability, I'd still prefer to go downs gun blazing with a cowboy style single action sixgun than all tacticool semiauto, sorrymuh capacity fags, but style wins over practicality every day
