why are revolvers so expensive?

>>63928938
Other than small ones like the J-Frames or LCRs they’re niche products for enthusiasts. Look at Taurus if you need to go cheaper.

You can also get several 10mm revolvers milled out to take 10mm magnum.. and have 3 different options of round available…

Single-action revolvers get a draw advantage.

>>63929168
Any other grips good for the mini revolvers?

I think I'm gonna buy a SP101 in .327, probably one of those half lug ones. Need something that fits into my chest bag.

>>63928853

id rather have 8 shots of .357 than 6 shots of 10mm since carrying moonclips is out of the question.

There are ways to carry moonclips. Also .357 sucks, sorry to be the one to tell you

>Buffalo Bore 180gr JHP .357 from a 4 inch revolver (with cylinder gap) outperforms Buffalo Bore 10mm 180gr JHP from a 5 inch barrel 1911
Embarrassing desu

>>63931289
Because a .40 cal can make a duty grade bonded hollowpoint round penetrate 18" in ballistics gel with reliable expansion to .72" and .357 just has memberberries and muh foot pounds?

Current wheelgats:
>Python
>Trooper MK III
>NAA-22LLR

Wheelgats I want to get next:
>Model 629 Mountain Gun
>Model 442

Is this a logical progression? As I get older, I find myself being drawn to these more and more.

>>63931316
And a 357 Mag will send a 180gr XTP 24" through 10% ballistic gel from a 4" barrel.
10mm is embarrassing and you may cope how you like.

>>63930830
I can't believe people use this holster

>>63929168

>>63931684
I'm only interested in revolvers and fuddcore shotguns and bolt guns. Maybe a ruger standard and a 1911 if im feeling frisky

>>63932886
Why would I want 24” of penetration and why would I want an XTP in 2025? Not even comparing it to 10mm, just .40 S&W

>>63931316
>Because a .40 cal can make a duty grade bonded hollowpoint round penetrate 18" in ballistics gel with reliable expansion to .72"
Can I see that? Frankly I doubt your claim. That's .45acp levels of expansion with deeper penetration. I'd believe it with 10mm. Also desu, sounds pretty in line with mid weight .357 magnum loads.

Yea, but can it do this with commonly available off the shelf loads you can find in almost any gun store?

>>63930794
.32 is a fucking meme, all this .32 shilling from the UC J-Frames is annoying

.38 Special is literally $20 cheaper to shoot than any .32 and actually has stopping power

>>63932924

>>63933289
32 gets you 1 extra round and reduced recoil. for a psychological stop (99% of stops), any caliber will do. for a physiological stop, you need to hit vitals anyways, and 38sp is going to increase that area by a whopping ~.04in because it's not expanding out of a snubbie anyways. shot placement > stopping power. if you want to practice for cheap, just shoot 32 long (although honestly i'd argue it's better for carry too)

>>63928729 (OP)

I was so sad when I learned that they stopped making these.

If any caliber will stop 99% of people then why do mousegun calibers fail to stop people almost half the time?
>Because you're full of shit that's why

>>63933355
Even better, .32 H&R hollow points actually do expand out of a snubby with ~14” of penetration

>>63933289
.327 fed is more powerful than 38 special. You'd know this if you ever shot one. If you were criticizing the ammo availability then you'd be correct, it is a caliber for reloooders at this point in time.

>>63933406
part of it is the gay-adjacent /k/ culture, they're getting a female-style 'omg my clothes are half off teehee' buzz from it

>>63933151
.45 can actually blow up to like .85" just with a little less penetration. .357 on the other hand just seems to suck no matter what. The only .357 rounds that will expand to this degree are all copper meme rounds. Others either grossly over-penetrate or basically just match 9mm performance or worse, all in exchange for a bunch of recoil.
>>63933218
Oh wow, 13" of penetration? Like a good .380? Heckin' magnum!

>>63933289
>>63933502
>Yes, I am clinically retarded and cannot understand the merits of a light weight pocket pistol that kicks as much as a .22 magnum, but will easily achieve 18" of penetration with good bore diameter.

>>63933506
And with Buffalo Bore hardcast wadcutters you don't even need to worry about that. Even the .32 Long loading is impressive from them.

Oh no, it thinks 9mm achieves the same preformance as .357
Lol, lmao even

>>63933669
Show me results from this magic .357 loading you have. Generally speaking they just expand out to like ~.55" like a 9mm unless it's an all-copper meme round. I double-dare you to show me one that did better than that .40 loading. The truth is that all that extra energy is a complete waste unless you have a projectile that actually takes advantage of it.

>>63928938
why does it say marcas registradas

>>63933714
for some reason, malaysian police used model 10s with the latin registered trademark line, which was introduced because of the 3 morbillion spanish smiff clones flooding south america

Do 9mmlets really

>>63933642
>.6" expansion
>13" penetration
>Large fragments penetrating several inches of of the primary wound path
>Like .380
So you're either retarded or just baiting then

>>63933699
You're just making stuff up at this point, even a basic bitch 158gr xtp loaded to magnum velocity will get .7"+ expansion with plenty of penetration.

>>63933642
>Cleargel
LMFAO, alright I'm out

>>63934101
The hollowpoint expanded too quickly so it could only fart out one inch past the bare minimum (12"). It's passable, but it's not good. Considering how much recoil is required to get even that much performance it's just not worth it. You'd be better off with a 9mm revolver.
>>63934114
Show me an XTP doing that with good penetration.

What kind of revolver do you think a sexy demon would carry? I was thinking something like a Colt SAA but i feel like that's kinda generic. I'm practicing with some fan art but I want a revolver in there.

This answer has given me great pleasure and frustration. I'll contact them because their listings are very vague and a tad confusing. However, I've discovered something great. During the last hurricane (FL anon) it created a number of tornadoes. I was apart of clean up for one of the tornadoes, and one of the trees we cleared produced this meat looking wood. I've spent months trying to find out what it was with no avail.

Does it even count as a revolver if the cylinder only has two chambers, it feeds from a detachable box magazine, is striker fired, and blowback operated?

>>63935313
Why wouldn't it? It has a revolving cylinder. I think the ejection is weirder than the magazine

>>63935325
>Why wouldn't it?
It's a semi-auto pistol with a 2-chamber cylinder added as an after thought to evade patents and meet nonsensical military acceptance standards.
It has more in common with a Browning model 1900 than it has with a typical revolver.

I have a .32 h&r
I have multiple .38 specials
I have two .357 magnums
Is .44 magnum worth it? I really keep thinking I want to get something that is more powerful and gives me more variety and fun. But I keep things about some detractions against it
* many people say the recoil is stupid, I won't want to shoot it much, or I'll just shoot .44 special out of it more
* These motherfuckers are expensive
It seems silly to buy a .44 anything and have it not be a magnum. But I keep hearing it is so unfun to shoot that I also think that maybe I could save a lot of money by just buying a .44 special from Charter Arms and have fun with it, while also being able to say I own something more powerful than .357 magnum. Plus I hear the .44 special is more powerful than full house .357 loads but the recoil is not unpleasant to shoot for fun. How true is that? And should I just go for a cheaper .44 special over the magnum?

>>63937011
.44 Special is less powerful than .357 Mag. Pretty comparable to .45 ACP, and still slightly inferior to that in raw numbers. It's a very fun caliber to shoot from a full size .44 Mag rated revo, but it is absolutely miserable from a lightweight Charter Arms Bulldog. I wouldn't recommend buying a .44 Spl specific revolver unless you're a reloader or just extremely autistic and enjoy niche stuff.

>>63937011
>>63937065
.44 Special is a near-perfect cartridge, *IF* you're into handloading. It can be dialed up to comfortably surpass .357, or dialed down to be a powder puff plinker. However, factory loads tend to be powder puffs.

Read some old revolver gunwriters like John Taffin and Skeeter Skelton. They loved the .44 Special. Here's a Skeeter article that gives a good rundown:
http://darkcanyon.net/The_44Special_A_Reappraisal.htm

>>63935272
Their hardwood custom grips are amazing honestly, well worth the money to get exactly what you want. I like their rosewood but it doesn't look right on stainless guns.

Only problem is they made me wait the full 60 days. I believe they shipped it out exactly on the 60th day. The grip is CNC cut and they could probably knock it out within an hour of receiving your order but they sit on orders until the last minute. I would personally order a rubber overmold grip (which ships out next day) and then order a hardwood grip separately and wait for it.

>>63933289
32 acp is my edc, good enough for the great war good enough for me. 327 can't be much worse than that. No one ever named their militia death squads after a revolver. Meanwhile the Bosnian scorpions are in photos with their name sake 32s commiting war crimes. Given the last century's dead accumulated by the round, revolvers as a class are nearer to becoming a meme than 32 as a ballet class.

>>63935360
Damn dude, save some pussy for the rest of us.

>>63937011
.44 special is weaker than .45 acp in factory loadings

This is my humble collection

>>63937907

Haven't been able to actually shoot with them yet, but I anticipate my 360gr load is miserable with these. I'm genuinely scared that they'll crack.

>>63937721
>>63937065

Oh!
So basically in terms of overall power it's more powerful than .38 special but sucks compared to .357 magnum.
So I guess I should just go and get a .44 magnum for a lot more money? Damn. I was kind of hoping for not spending that fucking much.

Recoil is surprisingly light despite my being a handlet. It’s definitively more powerful than 380 but snaps much less than 357

>>63937065
Rubber grips
Almost certain you’ve got more arm muscle than me so that’s all you need to make it recoil like 38

If the caliber starts with a .4 or larger then you absolutely should be handloading if only for the money. 44 magnum is expensive and most stores don't even carry 44 special anymore. 38/357 can be a wash depending on your reloading setup and what you value your time at but big bore is where you actually save money while reloading which translates to being able to shoot and practice more.

If reloading you can have different loads but the same OAL, which means less mucking with dies, cylinder fouling and less free-bore. Load 357 to 38 special-level , 44 mag to 44 special levels, 454 casull to 45 Colt can all be good. I ended up with a shit ton of HP38 and H110 because that works for pretty much all my magnum calibers and their softer shooting counterparts.

I have a 45-70 BFR, and I use Varget for that. I got it as more of a meme gun but I honestly would recommend getting a BFR in a big bore caliber as they are made in the USA, well built, and come with an optional rail.

You should try cfe blk for the 45-70. I run it in 500 bushwacker and 444 marlin (for a 14inch lone eagle) and it does incredibly well with heavy bullets and medium ish barrel lengths…

i'm a retard and accidentally sprayed cleaner instead of CLP into my trigger. didn't realize until i put like 20 shots through it at the range and it started binding. i tried to put some oil in through the trigger but now it's completely bound. somebody tell me i'm not gonna have to take this thing completely apart to lube it because i'm a moron

>>63944577
Can always try working some clp into it… worst case your still stuck taking it apart to clean it

>>63944577
Yes you probably will have to take it apart. FYI don't lube your revolver like that. Use tiny amounts of lube on the contact points and that's it. They run better dry. All the extra lube does is attract carbon and gums up the action.

dang. any other suggestions?

>>63944988
S&W 610 but you'll need moonclips for that, too. Moonclips are the norm for semi-auto calibers.

>>63944988
>>63945062
You could always pay to have the cylinder shaved for moon clips, its like $200 max.

>>63944988
There’s at least 1 company that will convert a 40 s/w rhino to take 10mm auto and 10mm magnum, they’ll also convert a 610.. I think if I remember correctly and if you don’t mind it being gigantic and heavy, you can get a super redhawk in 10mm.. wonder if magnum research cuts a short cylinder BFR for 10mm.. getting that with a 40 s/w cylinder, the 10mm auto and the 10mm magnum would be pretty cool.

>>63945379
Everything 10mm is severely outclassed by other magnums around it.

Don't buy Taurus.

Super dangerous, I had a few pieces in my skin and a little blood. When I say shards I don't mean the gas that normally escapes, I mean the fucking bullet exploded when it it the forcing cone where half the bullet went down the barrel and the other half fragmented out the cylinder gap. Taurus recut the forcing cone but I'll never shoot that fucking thing again, bunch of fucking faggots.

I would get .41 mag if you want to go big bore. That's probably as big as I would want to go and I would be happy staying with what you have.

How about you get a lever action in .357? That'll do more damage than even the stoutest load from a 44 mag revolver. Some 357 loads are entering lower powered 30-30 territory.

How is 500 recoil vs 460? I have a Performance Center 460, I like being able to tell people 454 casull is like the 38 special of 460. I feel like I need to get a 500 just to book end my big bore collection.

454 is far worse in the guns it's chambered in than 460 or 500 is.
3lbs - 3.5lbs guns vs 5lbs guns

I bid on an 8" 629-1 on a whim and won it. I always wanted a .44 just for the lulz, but I don't hunt or live near any bears. I'm not sure why I bid on the absurdly huge stainless one.

I really wanna get a 460xvr at some point… feel like it’s the last of the “commercially common” big bore rounds…. I will say that the between a 454 casull Alaskan, and a 500 bushwacker BFR if I’m letting someone try it with middle of the road ammunition for each caliber then I’m a lot more concerned about the 454 shot than the 500 BW…. The recoil has rapid unpredictable acceleration than most people expect.. with the BFR both before it had the brake with 500 mag, and after with 500 BW it’s a much more defined arc of muzzle rise vs a straight back punch…

>>63959164
Making milk jugs explode with hollowpoint 44 mag rounds is also rather fun…

>>63937011
What do you feed the .32 H&R Magnum? How stout can you handload for it, and can you use other brass like .32 S&W Long for stronger loads?

Those baguette enjoyers know how to make a wheel gun, I tell ya hwat

>>63959741
What does the 88 do better than the GP100 it is derived from? Other than the sweet Trausch grip, of course.

>>63960563
I don't know, never even held a GP100 in my hands.
The Manurhin is really beefy, it's a thicc boy, weighs exactly 1 kilogram and you feel it on your belt. The way I understand it, the French special forces asked for a revolver that could take something like 40k .357 +P rounds without a single failure so the makers really beefed it up, it's over-engineered like one of those 2JS Toyota Supra engines that are simply unkillable.

I can't wait, that said I just got the 22mag version not the combo (I didn't feel like paying an extra 200 for 22lr cylinder especially when I have a Heritage). Is the folding grip worth getting?

>>63962601

>>63957371
looking forward to those pics when you do get a chance

>>63963630
Sorry I forgot yesterday. I'll set a little reminder for myself.

>>63960563
Nothing. The MR88 is sort of the odd duck among Manurhins in that it's really rather boring. It's not a bad gun by any means, but it's basically just a Ruger. It doesn't have the insane quality of the MR73,or the strange looks & unique cylinder release of the rare 93 and 96.

>>63959564
Also, among those guns the Casull is going to be extra snappy compared to the BFR because it's so much lighter and it doesn't have a brake. Yeah the Bushwacker is more powerful on paper but that gun is much heavier, the brake looks very effective and also adds more weight out at the muzzle

>>63964594
What he claims doesn't matter. Worrying about muh gel penetration, muh velocity, muh foot-pounds energy is all just mental masturbation. It's like watching two fat boomers argue about football statistics. The only thing that matters is results: How many rounds it takes to stop an attacker. We have statistical data on this and the results are quite clear: .40 performs no better than most common pistol rounds (.380, .38 spl, 9mm, .40, 10mm, .45 AARP) .357 magnum does. No youtube gel video will change that, it's just cope.

>>63928729 (OP)

what are those Japanese revolvers that their police used to carry around called?

>>63940272
i NEED grips like that but i'm pretty sure they're custom

>>63937011
my family owns a 6in sw 629 and the recoil is not bad, and i'm somebody who thinks 38sp +p out of a j frame is unpleasant, so i'm probably more recoil sensitive than most. an 8in anaconda is probably smooth as butter compared to that. if you want something big and powerful, i say get the .44 mag and not the special, seems silly to not get the mag if you want power. 44 mag is also really cheap compared to other more powerful cartridges. i think a big 6-in 44 mag is exactly what you're looking for.

What is the best .357 for summer carry? Preferably something that is at least 3"

Revolvers are fun.

>>63966245
Colt Viper.

>>63964565
610 is an n frame, they shorten the cylinder but the diameter is the same, wanna guess at how many n frames were produced in 44 and 41 mag?

>>63964679
Uhh, hunting and real world shooting results don't matter sweetie. Stopping living creatues is irrelevant, gel videos on YouTube or charts on Lucky Gunner is what counts.

Gelatin cubes are verifiable, repeatable, and observable. And THAT is MORE real than all the real life data in the world.

>>63963630
Alright m8, I took a few pics. I put a clipdraw on it for waistband carry when jogging and the clipdraw says Sakura because the Japanese police call them the 360J Sakura, so I figured I'd do a little nod to that. Fun fact about the 360J: the original S&W 360PD is in .357 magnum, but the Japanese police specifically didn't want the ability to shoot magnums (probably because they're too scary or something like that), so the 360J is .38 special only.
>>63965950
You're probably thinking of the New Nambu M60. It's slightly bigger than a J frame which is probably why the Japanese police replaced it with an actual J frame. When the police gun is closer to a badge of office than something to ever be fired in the line of duty, a small and lightweight revolver makes the most sense.

>>63966885
>New Nambu M60
yep that's it.

>>63966536

>>63971987
Bro these fuckheads put a serrated trigger on a gun with a shit single action, how retarded can they be? Serrated triggers suck for DA because they don't let the trigger slide along your finger while rolling the trigger, they literally only help in SA. Colt is overpriced mass produced shit now, the reason old snake guns were prized is that they were all hand fit and thus higher quality direct from the manufacturer. That made it hard to swap components without some know-how or a gunsmith but the trade-off was getting a complete and well done gun.

Colt is just a name, if you buy new Smiths and Colts you are a fucking retard. I own a fuck ton of revolvers from Smith, Ruger, Colt, BFR, Taurus, I own Italian SA repros and classic turn of the century era guns; I would never recommend purchasing a new product outside of a BFR, everything else is overpriced mass produced shit that needs additional work straight from the factory. It's really said how our gun industry has fallen.

>>63972058
You're just a seething boomer retard and any of these modern guns are fine. You can say they're overpriced, which is true because literally everything is overpriced now thanks to Reaganomics+Trumpistanis, but there's nothing wrong with them.

You don't want a modern TikTok added microplastic filled retard hand fitting anything in 2025 anyway.

>>63972058
The old Pythons were dogshit and went out of time fairly easily.
If you've ever held one that was put of time, the trigger pull is wildly fluctuating from 8-18lbs as things grind and slam together.($2599 btw plus tip for that nickel piece of shit)
The new ones are a massive improvement in durability, the single action sear on the hammer is too pronounced and the trigger return spring side of the main spring is too heavy. That's what causes the heavy SA.
While I do hate new Smiths, the Colts haven't had nearly the same problems with their new revolvers.
I own several, I don't give a fuck what you own or how many. If I'm guessing the anon correctly, you started loading in 23?

>>63966290

An engraved Griswold and Gunnison

>>63972229
>This pistol was made in 1864 by enslaved laborers in the Griswold and Gunnison pistol factory located inGriswoldville, GA, about ten miles south of Macon, for use by Confederate soldiers in the American Civil War (1861–65). In 1862, when the Griswoldville factory began manufacturing pistols, its twenty-two machines were operated by twenty-four people, twenty-two of whom were enslaved.
>The Griswold and Gunnison revolver featured a brass frame and iron components, instead of steel. The scarcity of raw materials in the South during the Civil War necessitated that the metals required for firearms production be sourced and recycled from unconventional sources, including brass church bells, which were melted down to make pistol frames of Griswold and Gunnison revolvers

Disgustingly pansies at Geneva get upset every time I suggest we finally sort this out by using 5000 or so prisoners and shooting them in lab conditions. A control group we just give a sandwich, a placebo group we shoot with 6mm flobert. Pay the survivors for their time. We're not monsters.

Thanks for the pics, she is indeed gorgeous and now I want one myself but that's an interesting lore note about them using only .38 special, strange but eh

Pew pew

What's a good .454 for getting into big bore magnums?

>>63976347
Super Blackhawk Bisley is made in 454, but not often. Cost way more than they should.
Super Redhawk is common, but hideous.
BFR makes a good 454, that's a lot cheaper than Freedom Arms.
Freedom Arms Model 83 = $$$

>>63976370
The Alaskan and the toklat version aren’t too bad. But not great for hunting. As much as Taurus has a history… their raging hunters in 454 aren’t half bad…. It’s one thing to cheap out on a 38 special…. But in general I don’t think anyone really cuts corners on 44 mag and 454…

What is the best single action revolver I can currently get? Looking for calibers .22LR and .38 Special/.357 Magnum or .45LC

The top comment on this video mentions an SRH. What is that? Also, are the external dimensions of the Ruger Alaskan in .454 Casull different than .480? As in, is it the same frame, or is it a bigger gun?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arOQ6-hsOY0

>>63979156
Top right corner is the freedom arms model 83, I'd probably say that. Those are really nice

>>63979442
No, the Alaskans etc are all Super Redhawks.
The only thibg special about the 454 and 480 models is they use a strong type of stainless steel for the cylinder called 465 Carpenter, they also use a different barrel steel that resists forcing cone erosion better.

>>63979478
The 44 mag models scallop the cylinders… which is a pretty quick way to tell them apart at a glance, but it’s the same dimensions…. I think the 22 hornet ones are scalloped as well but I don’t think they’ve done an Alaskan version of that…

>>63979478
>>63979531
>SRH=Super Red Hawk
>Super Redhawk covers all of them
Ahhh, I seee. Thank you :)

>>63979676
Yup. Fwiw other than the Alaskan variant theirs also the “Toklat” which aesthetically is really nice.. but it was a distributor special that is unfortunately hard to find… the full barrel super Redhawks have a “barrel looks like a straw added after the fact” the toklat is the only way I’ve seen that has the longer barrel but doesn’t look odd…. The Alaskan version is just the shrouded section of barrel…. Which also looks good, and is a blast to shoot, but isn’t exactly a good option for long range hunting

>>63979531
I don't think about scallops ever because they're entirely aesthetic.
They could cut them into the 454 and 480 models and there's no difference in strength since the stop notch is always the weakest area even when offset unless the are directly between chambers in which case scallops still don't make a difference.

>>63979768
They both look so cool.

Something almost all of the glamour shots of the Ruger Alaskan miss, is the top strap. It's almost industrial in appearance.
picrel from the youtube vid above

>>63980526
It’s got a lot more “chonk” than the redhawk.

>>63980661
Damn it. The next revolver I wanted was an R8, but I might have to get an Alaskan instead. The extra GIRTH makes it look really cool.

The redhawk and super redhawk are almost dimensionally the same in all areas and several integral parts are interchangable provided you do the fitting.(it's rare a cylinder just slots in)
I don't see how you can marvel at the "girth" when you own both. Measure the thickness at the rear corner of the frame window to the area underneath the rear sight blade. Then measure the thickness of the top strap right above the cylinder gap. Virtually identical in the spots that matter.
Super Red is chunky in weird places and it's not clear what Ruger was trying to do beyond ensuring scopes could be mounted directly on the frame, reducing manufacturing costs, and standardizing the 2 spring action found in the GP100. Maybe they designed it while they were chasing the Redhawk barrel thread corrosion problem.

>>63981031
Honestly the biggest difference is hard to convey with a picture.. that redhawk with the longer barrel and full metal frame in grip somehow weighs noticeably less in the hand than the super redhawk… despite the Alaskan having close to half the barrel…. Its extremely noticeable when you pick it up.

>>63981215
By the numbers, the Redhawk weighs the same and some models weighed more like the old 357s which are nearing 4lbs.
Having a full grip fram adds some weight and the Redhawk's old 1 piece barrel is a lot more metal in total.

>>63976782
How bad are Taurus Raging Hunter .454s? I hear even their cheap guns are pretty good these days.

>>63981753
Haven’t gotten to shoot one. But did get to check out one of their 460’s.. honestly it felt pretty good. Especially for being under 800$.. main weird but is the cylinder has 2 locks and you have to release both to open it… they aren’t linked to a single button…. Which I suspect vastly simplifies machining and construction..

>>63981286
I got curious and weighed them. My redhawk comes in at 2.941 lbs, and the Alaskan at 2.696. I’d have sworn the Alaskan felt heavier, but I’m guessing it’s probably just how the balance makes it feel?

>>63937065
The Bulldog is perfectly comfortable to shoot with rubber grips.

>>63979459
I looked them up and they do look very nice, however I should have specified that I'm in Western Europe and seems like they aren't being imported.

I mainly see models by Ruger, Colt, Pedersoli, Uberti, Reck and Sauer & Sohn for sale

>>63983268
I'm assuming double actions are a no-go then too?

When I first got into revolvers I thought they were ugly and avoided them, but now I love Hogue grips and put them on all my hwheelguns

>>63981900
No problem with weirdness, I like weird guns. I just don't want to spend money on something if it's going to rattle apart or blow my hand off in less than 1000 rounds.

>>63972138
>Blaming Republicans for expensive firearms

You are the kind of stupid that can't be fixed.

>>63982424
>>63937065
This makes think I should just get a .44 special.

>>63983806
My honest experience is that everyone making a big bore revolver puts a little more care into it than the much higher production number 22’s and 38’s…. Somehow between them not being produced in nearly as large a number, and the fact that it’s an awful lot more explosion next to your hands, it seems like most all of the big bore revolvers are pretty solid. The only one I can think of offhand with stories of failure is the Xframe.. but generally those fall into one of two categories… either “we were shooting bubbas pissing hot hand cannon loads” (which I’d probably stick to doing in a ruger or BFR) or “the one at my gun store lost its rifling or somehow failed” which should come with an asterisk pointing out that roundcount is important, and the “we stock the big one” revolver at a rental range is gonna see a lot more use than yours unless your either into reloading, or have a fuckton of money to spend on it…. Before I got into reloading I was trying different brands of 454 casull ammo after I got my Alaskan… I ran through about 500 factory rounds. Luckily now I have brass for days… but doing the rough math, at about 40-50$ a box of 20 I spent damn near as much on ammo as I did on the revolver…

>>63972138
You omitted Wuhan 19

>>63929168
Fuck. I have a MIGHTY NEED for one of these little fuckers.
I think I'll go with the top break model.

>>63979156
If you really want a good single, the Taylor-tuned SAA is by far the best for the money. IF you're willing to spend it.

>>63989298
I have a stainless single six made in the 90's that has a 5" barrel. It's a great gun and the ability to change cylinders is nice. Only complaint is the trigger is just a little heavy for a single action. I don't have any experience with the super wrangler, but goddamn those things are ugly.

>>63962634

Will using a .460 S&W jeopardize the resulting self-defense case?

>>63990194
Welcome to jury trial, where nothing is safe and the ending is a mystery. To answer your question.. maybe? Can you come up with a convincing reason to carry a boat anchor larping as a revolver other than “I was really concerned about being attacked by assailants in body armor”…. Do you hike a lot or work outside in an area with bears?

>>63990315
I have family and potential work in the inner city, and recently saw a video where a bunch of guys there leapt out of a van to rob a man, and in only 2 seconds, had guns on him.
I know better than to go where he did at night, but the thought of something similar happening always scared me back when I lived there.
I guess it'd be for peace of mind? I've always known guys with retail-bought body armor existed, so I'm just looking for a surefire solution.
>a boat anchor larping as a revolver
Is it that heavy?

>>63990350
It's a 10" barrel anon, have you ever even held one IRL? They're basically impossible to CC in any normal clothes, and if you manage to CC it, you will not be drawing it in a timely manner. Just buy a fucking Five Seven if you're that worried about body armor. .460 won't penetrate level 4 plates anyway, and probably not level 3 either.

>>63990387
To be fair… while it may not penetrate… whatever’s wearing that plate is going to suddenly be very interested in the organs they kept behind that armor…

>>63990350
>>63990387

>>63990350
Fully loaded it’s probably gonna weigh over 3 pounds. And yes it’s big. As the other anon said, a 5.7 is probably a better choice, especially if your not familiar with guns.. I enjoy big bore revolvers, i would not attempt to conceal carry one…. Also if you did get that 5.7 and somehow through extremely unlikely events did successfully defend yourself from a mugging, and then found yourself in court… remember… do not mention body armor or piercing capabilities…. Say you googled “good self defense gun with low recoil”….

>>63990487
>3.6lbs empty
HOLY

>>63929168
Nice what is that

>>63990315
>Welcome to jury trial, where nothing is safe and the ending is a mystery.
We're supposed to be tried by a jury of our peers. Not a jury of women and niggers.

>>63990194
If you manage to conceal that beast it's a yuUuge cylinder to rotate. The trigger pull will be heavy, the gun is heavy and you'll likely develop a flinch when you shoot it.
There's a good chance you'll miss. There's an even better chance you wear it for a few weeks and realize it's a bitch to carry and size down to something more reasonable.
People who carry revolvers of that size (usually out in the Alaskan bush) typically use a chest holster.

>>63990401
The vast, vast majority of people will not be able to handle the recoil from this gun in any meaningful way. Unless you are like the .01% of shooters who can, don't even consider it as a carry gun.

>>63990487
>Say you googled “good self defense gun with low recoil”….

Reminds me of the dried papaya I used to love as a kid.

>>63928729 (OP)
Got my .327 Fed Mag Lipsey 3 inch Sp101 back from the gun smith. The Blacked out novak sight he put on it is awesome with the gold bead front sight it came with. Trigger pull is 7 pounds double action and 2 pounds single action. It has to be one of the best revolvers I've ever shot now. Was hitting steel at 50 yards and a velocity of 1423 ft average on the graph. Too bad the ammo isnt easy to come by.

>>63992783
Surprised you replaced the target sights.
I had mine that low, but had light strikes with anything that wasn't a federal primer. I also refit a trigger plunger in it because trigger didn't like to reset. Sometimes you just get unlucky with the tolerances and they stack in a way that a trigger job can't fix all of its ails.
Put a #12 main and #10 trigger because I didn't want to carry something that may not go off. Pull is around #9.5. single action is #3

>>63992799
I don't care much for adjustable sights. The Novak aligns well with the gold bead. I was also blessed that there hasn't been a single light primer strikes. The gunsmith did a really nice job.

>>63990760
Reality and theory don’t always align anon… unfortunately we’re stuck living in the former and thinking about the latter..

>>63992783
What grip is that? Need one for my .357 SP101 3”

>>63990505
5 shots of 460 adds a bit more weight as well… if you have 300 gn bullets then just the bullets are close to 1/4th a pound….

I would bet that only online shills have that holster since I've never seen or heard of them being used by anyone irl. It's like Staccato pistols, if a certain product makes up a disproportionately large amount of online posts but it might as well not exist in the real world, it's shill crap.

Did something happen to make them more expensive? I remember 10 yrs ago /k/ would recommend them for first time gun buyers bc of how easy they were to use, and the fact that you could buy them for cheap.

>>63999635
Same reason that Mosins and hand nuggets and Enfields and SKSs and every other popular surp gun is getting more expensive: the glut of 90s/00s surp guns is drying up.

Y-you too!

If the S333 Thunderstruck didn't have a 20lbs trigger pull, would it be a viable CCW?

I like when weird stuff like this gets made.

>>64001887
No, because it’s extremely inaccurate unless you only load every other chamber so one barrel never fires.

How important is accuracy in most self-defense scenarios?

I got a Ruger redhawk 4.2” barrel 8 shot 357. Solid fuckin gun and I love unfluted cylinders

>>63998213
10mm is the biggest consoomer round

>>64002879
Just a good solid gun

>>63996851
Won the auction on the 22-4 at $760 but no FFL fee or shipping

>>63996851
25-2 is a nice gun but moon clips are annoying. 22-4 is also cool and if you wanna do a WW1/WW2 larp it would work good.

A "factory" Colt 45 with a hardcast bullet going 850 FPS will go through pretty much any animal length-wise, with easily handled recoil. Most people overestimate how much they will shoot "stout loads" through something like a Ruger Blackhawk. Frankly it's not needed, it costs more just to make your hand flip a bit more, if you want "stout" 45's then get a 454 or 460, you can download those to whatever level you think you'll want.

I say get an Italian repro and copy a factory colt 45 load, you'll have fun. There's something just fun slinging a big heavy bullet.
