But I do. WWII vintage mil issue

>>34861828
But I do Anon. A S&W Model 19 and a 317 Airlite .22. Thinking about a used 64 at the moment too. Colts feel nice in the hand at gun shows but tend to be very pricey it seems and I'm not talking about Pythons. Which is a shame because a Detective Special would be awesome. Dat LA Confidential vibe and all.

Because I live in a gay country with gay laws and a gay culture.

I would love to have some old Colt and S&W .38's though, they seem very pleasant.
I'd love to have a lot of guns actually, I can think of a lot of revolvers with .38 caliber bores that would be a delight.

>38 is admittedly a little weak
Not THAT weak, at least not more modern loadings, a .38 Special +P JHP is actually no joke.

>Why do you need 16 shots
I really like metal framed automatics like 5900 series S&W pistols, CZ75s, Berettas, etc.

>>34861845
Did they actually market it under that name?
Seems like it'd be confusing when they'd sell their CAR15s under the Colt Commando brand.

ok Rambo, I'm sure you can pull off perfect headshots and heartshots nonstop.
in reality you'd be ventilated by the nigger's $70 hi-point as you try to line up a shot, miss, cock the hammer, fire, and watch the gun fly out of your hand because you loaded it with a retardedly powerful round because you need to overcompensate for a microdick

I do

It's gorgeous, well made, and fun to shoot.

Underrated little guns

>>34862509
They stopped because they had to. The gangsters they were facing started arming themselves with semi automatics, so the police had to do the same.

>>34862561
You seem very defensive. Did you dad hit you... or maybe touch you somewhere he shouldn't have? There's no need to be scared, you can tell us.

So what if semi automatics are better? Why can't we enjoy revolvers as well?

>>34862662
Never said you couldn't, I like revolvers for guns. OP specifically stated police usage in his argument, that's what I was referring to

>>34862546
>>ok Rambo, I'm sure you can pull off perfect headshots and heartshots nonstop.
That doesn't make any sense at all. Have you ever even seen a Rambo movie?

Wartime S&Ws are sweet. Here's a Victory I picked up for $199 off Gunbroker.

>>34862806
That's a hell of a deal, How's the bore and lockwork?

>>34862662
i'm a tacticool operator in my mind but i still want an 1851 uberti conversion. get one of those or the cimarron with the snake grips. i should get one and ccw it.

>>34861845
i think it's obligatory if you own one of these to tip the brim of your hat with the barrel and say "ah i wise guy ehhh"

>>34861828
Stop praying to Colt and S&W, give Ruger some cred. They make the nicest single actions these days.

>>34863006
Colt isn't that great these days, and S&W are clearly better at automatics today, but their old work is true shit.

>>34863051
For sure, an old colt is nice.

>>34863017
I love a 4" Blackhawk, everything about the proportions looks so even and nicely balanced.

>>34863006
Ruger's semi-autos, while competitively priced, are only average, but their revolvers really are great. The Single Six and Blackhawk are best-in-class guns assuming you're leaving out bespoke offerings, and their first DA revolver, the Security Six, was the best revolver of its day in terms of size vs. durability vs. power.

yes, and that is how mine is marked.
i got it from my grandfather for 10$ and 10 hours labor (something i was glad to do for him) because his father(?) got it from the Kansas State Militia

The bore's okay, the lockup is just a hair loose, if you ease the hammer back in single action it needs a nudge, but if you use any sort of force it locks up fine. I'm pretty sure it was converted to .38 special from the original .38 S&W, the cylinder doesn't match the rest of the gun. The real reason it was so cheap is the finish. it was reblued and is missing a good bit of finish on the right side. I've since put some cold blue on it to keep it from rusting, but I think the whole thing needs to be refinished. Definitely a shooter right now, haha.

I love blued guns but I'll probably end up getting it parked like it's supposed to be.

>>34863907
I remember that one, the one with the exquisite bore.

>>34864011
Yeah, I decided to keep it as am heirloom and try to carry it.

Because there's going to be more than 6 looters at your door when the time comes, and there's no way in hell you're going to land even one out of six shots to the head, let alone all six.

The finish is still junk, I learned the nickle isnt original since, they only came blued in the year it was made, but I got a replacement ejector cap, looks better now.

>>34861828
I larp as a 70s cop with a .38 snub in an ankle holster, and a .357 magnum in a shoulder holster under a tweed jacket with the patches on the elbows

Because i'm poor.

>>34864029
Pistols are to get your senpai together in the same place you idiot, then you use a rifle from a defensive position. If you know 6 guys are kicking down your door, or someone is coming for you, you use a rifle.

Clearing your house (Going to your attackers and losing home team advantage) is a stupid meme

>>34864056
That's no excuse. You can find decent ones below $400

>>34862486

Smith & Wesson markets an AR, an AR-looking .22, a semi auto pistol line, and revolver all under the name M&P. Ruger has a pistol and bolt action rifle both named American.

>>34861828
>Why do you need 16 shots, when a single shot to the head will instantly incapacitate your target, and a shot to the heart will kill them within seconds?
Because everyone is flawlessly accurate all the time in a situation where they need their gun. Fuck outta here

Even really cheap junkers like the Armscor M200 can be passable if you inspect them in advance. Though the DA trigger is harsh and they're not too pretty to look at.

>>34864082
I guess that's true.

>>34861828
>why don't
Because I like early autos better. I do have a Colt though.

>>34864105
Even if you don't hit them in either places, 5 shots to the torso should be sufficient in most cases. I'm not saying that semi automatics aren't better, I'm just saying that revolvers are still viable and effective in today's world.

>>34864074
It's a Pietta 1873.

I have a Colt New Service that was chambered for 455 Webley and has British Proof marks, but the cylinder was shaved down to accept 45 Colt brass that's cut down to 45ACP length. Does that count?

Yeah back in the day they actually made quality revolvers instead of shitty Brazilian mass produced junk with no attention to detail.

>>34864518
We still have Ruger.

They aren't called sidearms for nothing friend.

Their price can't compete with ubertis, and no longer have QC to warrant the price.

>>34864278
That's sounds about as American as it gets. What's more capitalistic than selling a gun to your parents, getting it back and then selling it again

>>34861828
I have a smith and wesson victory model. Most accurate pistol that ive personally ever shot.

Also have an enfield revolver. The thing is inaccurate as shit and has a massive trigger pull, but it is a fun little popper with its weak ass .38 s&w short round.

>>34866043
Model 10s and 64s are under $400 all the time and Colt revolvers that aren't snakes or SAA are easily found under $500

There are tons of Ivers Johnson safety SA/DA revolvers out there in parts to get on gunbroker.
Sub $100 pistols are possible. If you don't mind the nickel plating that looks ugly but did it's job for 120+ years.

Pre 1900 is black powder loads only, but can use modern cases for .32, .38 cal. ACP or SW.
Some Ivers up to the 1930s were black powder only.
Pre 1900 guns which use black powder are "ancient", not considered a firearm.
So you can open carry, CC, etc with the cops pissed when they look at the patent date of 1896 on it.
If you have to use a revolver, it's for close quarters surprise shots.
If there are 5 baddies banging at the door, get the rifle if you can. You will need at least 3-4 shots in a panic per target. Even on deliberate target shooting with a high heart rate from jogging may take 1-2 shots. Get real folk.
.32cal was used by the police for a very long time, even in Europe up to 1960's.

>>34867443
Ivers Johnson was #2 behind Colt in hand guns, also they had the safety hammer/trigger that the P320 forgot.. :P
