Hey boys my girl and I are going to a party as a cowboy and cowgirl and I figure since my state allows open carry that I should use this as an excuse to get a real revolver instead of some dinky toy.

I'm torn between the .44 and the .357 Magnum. Which does /k/ prefer these days? What's the best make/model of each?

Also, any recs regarding holsters with a traditional look?
>>
>>35196230
I am also interested in what /k/ would recommend. I think the .357 is an all-around better round but the .44 has that classic big revolver appeal.
>>
>>35196230
Open carrying to a party for any reason is a dumbshit thing to do.

I want a real Revolver and holster to complete the authentic Cowboy look. The rest of my costume is authentic so I figure this part should be too. And it's also an excuse to finally buy a revolver w/o my girl bitching about the cost help a brotha out /k/

Do not bring that shit loaded to a party plz..if you ring a pistol to a party where you and others will be drinking, you're no better than some nigger or a shithead redneck.
>>
>>35196230
Get an Uberti Cattleman in .45 LC for extra Cowboy fun. Good 1873 clone for the money, pretty authentic.

El Paso Saddlery makes good Western holster/belt combos, good quality with a price to match.

That being said, bad idea to OC to a party, especially if you think you'd be drinking.

>>35196408
Naw it won't be loaded man I ain't that dumb
>>
>>35196385
Get a .357. You can shoot cheap .38 Specials through it for practice and plinking and load it with .357's for full bore splodey business. Any of the Italian Colt clones will work fine.

You might also consider a black-powder replica. They're cheap and you can mail order them, and since it's mainly for looks, well.... they look awesome.

>>35196408
Yes, this. Please be responsible.
>>
>>35196432
Thanks for the advice man, like I said it def won't be loaded. I like that idea of being able to shoot .38 for plinking.

Not familiar with the Italian clones you're talking about, and recommended brands I could research?
>>
>>35196443
Uberti is all you need for an 1873 clone.
>>
Unless you are getting it for brown burr defense, do the 357

thanks guys, much appreciated!

Go for .357 if you want versatility. Ruger Blackhawk if you want something cowboy-ish.
>>
>>35196230
If you want to be real cowboy you can buy a black-powder Navy Six style revolver new for about $150. I saw them being sold in plastic packages at Cabella's/Gander awhile ago.

Stay away from Taurus.

>>35196411
I found a good deal on a .357 and my favorite funstore and snatched it up. 50 rounds through it and all the screws came loose. The trigger guard was almost came loose and the front sight fell off. So now im pretty pissed. It's a great looking gun however.

Watch Dick open carry.
Watch police get called by that one party goer.
Watch Dick find out that open and concealed carry at any place that charges admission is illegal.
Watch Dick try to explain that a party isn't the same as a place that charges admission.
Watch Dick hauled away in the paddy wagon.
Don't be a dick!

Are you actually retarded? In what state would police show up, let alone do anything for someone politely open carrying an empty piece at a private party

A good place as any other to ask this one: what's the commonly held opinion on the Taurus Model 80? A pal of mine asked about it for a cheap self-defence gun, but I have no idea about it (I own a Beretta and a Makarov, never got near Taurus guns).

It's shit, good for a very low price, good for what it is or else?

>Are you actually retarded?
Never heard that one before! Good one! You should always use that, you uber orignal mother fucker.

Pennsylvania. Source: me. I did exactly that at a party and was escorted off the property and had a "meeting" with a magistrate the same week. I got off with a warning, luckily.

All it takes is somebody (and by somebody I mean that ulta liberal stupid fucking leftist bitch everybody knows) to make that 911 call "man with a gun". It doesn't have to be a truthful 911 call, you brain dead dolt.

WTF is up with some of you fucking /k/tards that thinks everything has never happened and it is all impossible?

>posts Huehuerus Double-action
Get a Single-Action. Ruger (Vaquero,Blackhawk) is probably your best bet if you don´t want to spend too much and still get a good gun. if you don´t plan to get a proper, modern DA-revolver in the near future, just get one in .357. Otherwise, get one in 45LC for the "authentic" caliber.
