Ahhhh yeee, I've kinda put aside my want for another revolver besides my 442 for a while but just picked up a Henry in .357...

Now I'm wanting a 586 all over again. Talk me into or out of it.

They should. They are nothing except a liability and an eyesore.

>>34868714
the locks themselves arent the worst problem. easily removed, and only impact functionality in a few select models.

the problem is giving money that fucks over the consumer on purpose so they can get tax rebates.
S&W parent company, whateverthefuck outdoors. owns the company making the locks too. and sells them to S&W at a huge loss

>>34868759
Like I said, it doesn't really bother me. Not enough to take a chance on a used 586. Especially if I have to buy it online.

>>34869357

.357 snubs are NOT fun to shoot very many rounds out of. If you are gonna CCW a .357 snub you're gonna practice with light .38spl, maybe shoot a cylinder of .357 and call it a day. Carry will be with .357 loads.

If you want a range toy for fun with magnum rounds get a medium frame gun with at least a 4" barrel.

ok here's a wheel gat.

>>34870313
really? I was thinking fixed sights would be more durable in the long run. I drop my guns when I play with them at home sometimes and I'd hate to have to take it in because I dropped it and broke the rear sight or something.

Im on the fence about buying a dan wesson model 44, the gun looks like a mix of ruger and s&w and i dont much like the cylinder latch placement (even though my hand will be there to extract) whats /k/'s opinion

>>34870384
Unless you just want the barrel changing gimmick for shits and giggles or you find a good deal you just can't pass up there's nothing to really recommend the DW over a comparable Ruger or Smith.

>>34870400
The barrel change is a reason actually, im planning on making it a .44 mag/.45 colt revolver and i hear dan's are comparable to ruger strength.
All id need to do is buy a new cylinder ream it for the 45 and have a blank barrel made for it.
Hell i could shoot some 45 acp if i get shortened barrel right? Assuming that the sighting wont be fucked from the case sizes

>>34870426
Explain how that's gonna work anon. If the frame is threaded for a .44 barrel how you gonna thread a .45 barrel in there that, if it fits at all, is not dangerously thin walled?

>>34870448
Theres some forum threads that i read that talk about the conversion and is breddy safe and works, a guy talked about how it can handle shit hotter than buffalo bore.
Or should i take this as dangerous fudd fuckery?

>>34870478

There's a reason all convertible guns use bullets with the same diameter. I don't think you can get proper timing on a cylinder bored for .45 out of a gun originally setup for .44. Alos if you're talking about a cylinder the same size bored for .45 instead of .44 then the cylinder walls will be thinner which is not suggestive of increased strength/loading potential.

If you want a big bore DA convertible just get one of pic related.

>>34870491
Only negative I have read about those guns is that the Ruger moon clips are not the greatest design-wise. Seen people complaining about breakage. But at least their kind inexpensive.

>>34870525
Never played with moonclips before, they're semi-consumable items though right? Nothing stopping me from using speedloaders on the .45lc right?

>>34871059
No problems with using speedloaders in 45LC.

Are revolvers the cheapest guns ever? If you're in a budget and Want a gun is revolver your best option ?

I swapped out the stock grips on my GP100 for a pair of Hogue combat grips.

My hand fit the default grips fine; I just hate finger grooves.

>>34871669
Not really. WAY more autos get sold so economies of scale kick in for them that generally make them a much better value for what you get. Also a cheap auto is harder to screw up from a design/maufacturing standpoint than a cheap revolver. For example it would be practically impossible to make a revolver that could compete on price with a hipoint.

That being said there are some inexpensive revolvers out there if you just have to have a wheelgun for cheap, but if your goal is the most bang for your buck a $300 Canik tp9sf is a much better overall gun than any revolver you could get for similar money.

I have these marks inside the barrel of my LCR, and I'm not sure what they are.

My usual cleaning with patches turns up no additional grime, and they don't look like scratches from my cleaning rod.

The only thing I can thing of is that they're scorch marks, but I can't say for certain. I took the best picture I could of the bore; can anyone tell what these marks are?

>>34874779
Picture is shit but I'd bet it's either lead or copper build up. What you been chooting? Look at the muzzle from the side so you can see a bit of the rifling. See any green in there? If you do it's copper.

If it's copper: Get some foaming bore cleaner that removes copper and repeat cleaning until it's all gone,

If it's lead: Get some lead cloth. Cut some off and wrap it around a smaller diameter bore brush so it's a tight fit in your bore and push it through until you get it all out. You're gonna want a dedicated brush for this as it's gonna get fuck full of lead cloth fibers.

>>34874835
No green.

I shot some 158gr LRN, 125gr +P, and some 150gr hard cast wadcutters.

The wadcutters were the newest ammo I've shot out of it, but the other stuff never left any residue after cleaning before.

And I shot all the same ammo out of my GP100, and the bore was squeaky clean as usual after cleaning. That's why I'm so confused.

I'll see if I can't get a better picture.

>>34875002
What solvent do you usually use?

>>34868754
Because the bullet is so far into the case, do you think I would be able to reload it, or am I forced to buy new ammo?

>>34875012
Ballistol. I clean all my guns with it, and I've never had any problems with it.

I'm looking for a range toy in .44 mag, can't decide between a Model 29 and a Super Blackhawk.

>>34875044
Either bu new ammo or shoot .32 S&W

>>34875096
You might want to try and use something with a bit more punch like Hoppes or M-Pro7.

revolvers are fun but when youve only got 1 handgun it should be something practical

>>34875332
Can't tell from that picture. Try some lead cloth.

>>34876913
Used S&W model 10 is the best choice for an intro to revolvers imo. You'll be able to fund one easily for well under your budget. Troll Gunbroker for a few weeks as there are good deals on these regularly.

>>34869099
Weapons isnt on that list

>>34876937
Anything but the 629. .44 mag is expensive and will not give you the best first handgun experience. Financially speaking, the 92fs would be your best bet, as the gun as well as what it eats will be cheaper than either revolver.

It's all up to you though.

I really want an older Model 10. I just keep buying other shit lol.

>>34868567

"Brazil" is spelled "Brasil" in Portuguese. Not weird at all.

I want to eventually get a revolver for range use and occasional CCW.

Thinking either a Chiappa, ruger security six, ruger match champion, or S&W 686 +. All in 4" of course.

Anybody got recommendations to check out? I strongly prefer a 4" barrel, under 3" i don't really see the point in carrying a .357.

>>34882858
Chiappa is shit. S&W is fine if you can live with having a cuck lock hole in your gun. Security six is good gun, but all of them are at least 30yrs old. My personal choice was a stainless GP100 4". I didn't think the Match champion was worth the extra money since fiber front sight is cheap, I do my own action work and the big MATCH CHAMPION billboards are ugly as fuck to me.

>>34870284
4". weight/concealment difference is really low and that 1" of barrel means 250fps of performance.

>>34876937
92. cheaper ammo, lower recoil, more capacity.

>>34876913
I'd go with a model 10 if you really like smiths or don't care to shoot .357 mag. Otherwise the ruger security six is probably your best bang for the buck. they're usually about 450-500 in my area.

>>34882913
What makes chiappa so bad? I've heard that they had some QC issues early on but are pretty good these days. I hate the full underlug/fatty look of the GP100 and 686. Only reason im considering the latter is the extra round.

Aluminum frame .357 is super fail on anything but a lightweight 5 shot pocket gun that isn't meant to be shot a lot with magnum loads. I also think the lockwork is failure waiting to happen. Lastly the bottom chamber being the firing chamber in an aluminum-framed gun is a recipe for unpleasantness if you have a kaboom. You basically have .5" of aluminum between you and an explosion.

>>34883269
It's not the odds of a failure that give me pause about the Rhino, it's the stakes. Plus it doesn't do anything better than more proven designs. The whole "fires from the bottom chamber" is basically a marketing gimmick to garner some market share in a very mature market. Perfect for the "hey look at me and my special thing" crowd.

Find me a picture of a steel frame gun that had a kaboom so bad that the lower frame and trigger guard are completely destroyed pretty much guaranteeing a life-altering injury.

Shooting .38 Special out of my GP100 is all well and good, but I'd kind of prefer a dedicated .38 Special revolver.

>>34883571
>Do you like your LCR or GP100 more?

My GP100 is the better gun, without question.

The LCR is made well, but it's difficult to shoot accurately due to its light weight adding extra kick/recoil (even standard 158gr LRN has some kick).

The LCR might make a better CCW piece since it's more concealable; doesn't mean much to me though, since I no longer plan on conceal carrying.

If I could sell my LCR, I would.

Bought my first revolver last week, got to shoot it for the first time last night. Pic related is it.

Pretty neat, I enjoy it more than shooting semi-autos for some reason.

Would I regret getting a .38 only revolver as my first handgun? I personally wouldn't want to shoot a .357 in my apartment or any small, indoors locations because of the noise and recoil. The only times I can think of shooting it would be for fun or as a trail gun. I ask because my budget allows for a ton of .38s but not that many non-snubby .357s.

>>34888212
No, especially if you're planning on getting a snubby. 357 snubbies are for retards who don't understand that the short barrel is not long enough to get much power behind the bullet, and most of the cartridge's power will come as recoil, big noise, and a bright flash that's not much more powerful than a 38 from the same barrel.
38 is classy, and I intend on using mainly 38 out of a gp100 when I finally save enough.

>>34888262
Forgot to mention I didn't want a snubby, I was going to get a 3-4" barrel regardless of what I choose. I only mentioned it because there are not as many normal length .357s at my budget unless I get a Taurus, so I would have to look harder.

.38 is fun, I'm just wondering if anyone felt the same way as I did and ended up regretting buying something like a model 10 when they don't have a lot of disposable income to buy guns with.

>>34888212
>>34888297
No, .38 Special is the most popular revolver cartridge for a reason

Get a .38 only revolver or get a .357 revolver and just shoot .38 out of it, you'll be set either way

I really really really hate maintenance on revolvers. I sold my S&W629 and Ruger gp100 for that reason. I learned that Uberti makes reproduction top break revolvers then saw a video of someone disassembling one. I was impressed by how easy it is to get the cylinder off the barrel. Anyone have experience with these? Are they a bitch to clean like traditional revolvers? Pic related is what I'm referring to.

I don't like finger grooves, so I find the default LCR grips unbearable.

The hump on them also stings the web of my hand. The boot grip is softer in the same area, so it doesn't suffer from the same problem.

When he pulls the cylinder off the crane it takes a small bit of force and it just pops off. I put mine in a vice and smothered it in WD-40, with both hands pulling, it wouldn't move. I followed that video exactly when I still had it but I couldn't get it so I sold the thing. Now I want a schofield repro and I'm worried it will be a waste of $1500.

>>34892699
Finger grooves on any gun only work if they fit your hand exactly. For example my G19 finger grooves are perfect, but my GP100 finger grooves were so terrible I ground them off with a dremel. So case by case basis on finger grooves anon.

>>34892776
You probably let it get way too dirty between cleanings. I would have soaked the whole assembly in solvent over night before giving up. Mine comes off just like in the video. I probably strip and clean it every 500 rounds or so.

A beginner revolver would ideally be a .22 I think, but otherwise stay away from airweight/scandium frame revolvers, heavy steel ones are ideal for soaking up recoil.

Question:

I obtained this old Ruger Single Six.
Came with a scope (Bushnell Magnum Phantom 1.3x), but the mount screws and corresponding tapped holes were fucked.

I just retapped the holes on the gun (after finding unobtainium #6-48 tap), but I can't find the replacement scope mount weird stubby screws. Anyone know where to look?

Pic related, the gun, the scope mount screws (the weird stubby ones), the scope mount, and the scope locking screws (long ones).

Thoughts on S&W .357's?

>>34892487
I just want them to make an LCRx in .327

>>34896899
The J-frames have had issues with frame stretching and the K-frames have had issues with forcing cone cracking.
Most people won't shoot enough .357 throught their Js for it to matter, and K-frame .357s are redundant now that the L-frame exists.
L- and N-frames are mechanically solid, some people get super butthurt about the internal lock.
They'll never be as tough or accurate as a Manurhin, but they're accurate enough for most shooters and you're not realistically going to wear out three 686es in your lifetime.

How do scandium K frames and L frames compare for concealed carry? I've read that the K frames are about as bulky as a Glock 19, so is the L more like a 17?

Why are they on the poorfag list if they're not dependable!

>>34899439
Close, but not excessively so, near as I can tell. Considering that it only happens when the gun gets hot, I imagine it might be due to the cylinder expanding.

>>34903548
Don't listen to that anon. If your gun goes bang reliably it's fine for self-defense work. At the ranges where the accuracy deficiencies of an inexpensive gun would become an issue you're into lawsuit territory if you're not running away at that point anyway.

>>34903830
I hear off and on things
some review say its good
others say its the worst built revolver they've seen with a cylinder that free spins

>>34903847
Part of the reason they are so cheap is that the QC is shit. Basically where S&W might ship 90% of what they make with 10% not making the cut and being sent back through for correction before being sent out(costs money but gives you a rep for not shipping too many turds). RIA probably ships 100% and just deals with the issue after a customer initiates contact. So they save some money by only having to fix the guns that a customer notices is defective.

If you can evaluate a gun at time of purchase you can get a good one.

K- and L- frames are so close to dimensionally identical that leather K/L holsters are interchangeable.
A K- and L- frame in the same caliber with the same barrel length will only differ in weight by an ounce.

ruger makes a few models of the blackhawk in rimless cartridges (9mm/.357 convertible, and one in .30 carbine), and smith and wesson make (or made, not sure if its still in production) a couple .45 ACP revolvers.

Why hasn't someone made a .25 magnum revolver cartridge? Keep pressures as high as .327, and it'd shoot a 100-110 grain bullet about as fast I'd imagine, while increasing capacity.

if all I shoot is .38, a .38 only gun would be better because it wouldn't need to be cleaned after every range trip

and because the GP100 is built tough, it would make an excellent .38 only gun

there aren't many great 115 gr hollow point loads, I would rather stick with a single stack 9mm

S&W makes some 9mms and .45s.

>>34911131
Lack of interest, I suppose.
People would rightly assume it was a varminting cartridge, and for that we've already got .22 WMR and .22 Hornet.

>>34913533
If all you shoot is .38, you can shoot a .357 just as well without cleaning it every time; the extra fouling at the front of the cylinder only matters if you shoot a bunch of .38 and then go to shoot some .357 without cleaning it first.

I only have one wheel gun :(

>>34915416
I have no wheel gun :((

>>34915416
how come

I hate how unresponsive to the public's needs Ruger is.
My money is theirs for the taking; all they have to do is make guns that I'm interested in buying, like a .44 Mag Toklat or an 8-shot .357 Redhawk with a 4" barrel (4.2", knowing them).

>>34916325
Wonder why they don't offer their Redhawk 8-shot with different barrel sizes.

I've got a S&W 617 and there are wildly different points of impact depending on what type of 22lr I'm shooting, but always seems to shoot high. Never had a handgun that didn't hit where the sights were pointing before. My 617's sights are adjustable for windage, not elevation. What do /k/?

It would be pretty cool to have a fosberry in a rifle format.

Fuck the 1917.

That gun is so fucking big, shooting it double action is a killer for the hand. i admit its cool though.

If you have the factory S&W rear sight on your gun then it is adjustable for both windage and elevation. Read your manual or find a copy online.

>My 617's sights are adjustable for windage, not elevation. What do /k/?
Send it back to S&W because the rear sight is broken.

>Model 29 or Super Blackhawk

If you can get a pinned & recessed 29 get it, they're sex. If you're getting a Super I strongly suggest getting a bisley, the grip frame is much more forgiving on your hand with hot loads.

Don't discount Redhawks either.

1880s forehands and Wadsworth on bottom
1883 reichsrevolver on top a solid 8 or 9 out of 10

Does anyone know what ammo GIGN uses in their MR73s?

>>34916325
Why the hell does Ruger have such weird barrel length choices?

>>34920866
4.2 inch barrels are to get into Canada. S&W does 4.25 on their new 66 for the same reason.
