7 shot.jpg
455KB, 3000x2250px
I'm thinking of getting a revolver. I always loved them and have grown up shooting them. Recently I shot a 7 shot Ruger and I was excited and confused. I don't know why but I guess I had never heard that revolvers come in over 6 shots other than ones in .22lr. I like the idea of having an extra round but for some odd reason the idea of 7 rounds puts me off. I don't know how to explain it but it just feels wrong after all these years of shooting 6 shot revolvers. What are /k/'s thoughts on revolvers with 6+ rounds?

>>34504435
6 rounds are more than enough to kill everything that moves

That's what I though. granted I know the semi gun folk always are comparing which of theirs holds more.

mfw i find out ruger makes an 8 shot .357 mag and the 1911 is fully useless
>>
>>34504435
I believe that Handsome Stranger carries a 7-shot 6-shooter as well.
>>
>>34504435
8 rd .357 in Ruger Redhawk 5033 is a maybe because of that damned snub nose and I am a YUGE Ruger fanboy
8 rd S&W 627 it is then
>>
I actually like the idea of an 8 shot better than a 7 shot. Not because of its extra ammo but rather because it appeals to my OCD desire for even amounts of rounds in my guns.
>>
>>34504548
do they make the 8rd version with a 4 or 6 inch barrel?
>>
Lucky 7 shots is the way to go bruv. 357 mag will stop most people and animals in one shot, maybe 2 or 3 if they're on drugs or really fat. That extra round could be a live saver though if you miss. 8 shot revolvers are also a thing. I like my SW 686 and wish I was a big guy (UUUU) so I could CC it.
>>
>>34504595
So if you where to CC a revolver how would you handle ammo? would ya use moon clips, or just let the rounds sit loose in your pocket?
>>
>>34504618
Speed loaders. I would just have them in my pocket if wearing thick/baggy clothes or in an inconspicuous side pouch with summer clothes.
>>
>>34504512
Yet it's only a 2.75" barrel. Why not 4" at least RUGER why?
>>
>>34504675
I hear they are uncomfortable to pack. do they make stripper clips for revolvers?
>>
>>34504689
Ruger, you are killing me with that lack of 4" support.
>>
>>34504726
There are these.

Thin enough to put in a thick phone case or your pocket, but they're slower than a speedloader.

I like my 7 shot judge, though I still occasionally stop after six shots out of habit.
>>
>>34504763
Do you know if they make those in 7 or 8 rds?

Fuck off you annoying son of a bitch. The 1911 is fucking fine, performs reliably, and fires one of the best cartridges around. Just stop, you're embarrassing yourself.

I mean, with the Wilson followers you get 8 rounds, One in the chamber since it's a 1911, gives you 9 shot capacity. And if you run out, throwing it at them will surely incapacitate them.

Maybe if it was chambered in thermonuclear bombs.

I have a huge fetish for more-than-6 shot revolvers.
>>
7 shots or more makes the cylinder on a revolver way too thick
>>
>>34504435

It's cool, but it seems like they're trying to make up for being done by autos. I hate to say it but automatics are outclassing revolvers in almost every way other than reliable big guns like 44mag or 500 s&w. Like glock makes 15 round flush mags for 10mm, essentially a bigger 357. That being said, revolvers are still perfectly functional and in calibers lile 22 lr, much more reliable. If you like them, fucking buy it, they work great and if you invest in getting good the people who buy an automatic and don't practice pften will blow compared to you in every way except maybe misses per minute.

If you buy a larger than 6 revolver, make sure the cylinder isn't stupid big. Some look that way and it's ugly. Model 627 is good.

>>34507389
IIRC that new 8 shot Redhawk has a similarly sized cylinder to the standard so that it will fit those holsters. It was in the article that introduced it. I guess you can shave some material off when you make everything ridiculously overbuilt. It's definitely going to be substantially heavier loaded.
>The new 8-shooter, which still fits in standard Redhawk holsters, comes with three full-moon clips for its relieved cylinder and a 2.75-inch barrel

M&P R8, or model 327/627, with a 5 inch barrel - 8 rounds of .357

A magazine is much easier to reload than a cylinder

disguise to look like a cane and now you have a 50 round concealed 1911.
>>
>>34504446
yes but can it kill 7 things that moves

>>34509322
I laughed so hard

Revolvers are for range fun and MAYBE for defense on trails against big animals but that is a stretch

They are outclassed by semi autos in pretty much every way, sans keeping the brass from ejecting when you commit some murder, but that is for niggers
>>
>>34509708
but range fun and maybe defense against aninals is exactly what everyone who's not a nigger does

>tfw a 1911 fag is so insecure that he goes to a revolver thread just to support it
>>
>>34508777
I would say speed loaders and mags are about equal in ease of reloading. And if you had to use the same mag more than once you will be killed because trying to load a mag under stress is beyond difficult
