>theres only ONE "tactical" revolver and its the R8, theres only one because its a dumb idea
There are many revolvers with a rail for an optic. I know of a few:
1. Heritage Rough Rider Tactical Cowboy
2. The Cottonmouth (I actually like this one because it proves that most revolvers could benefit from a muzzle brake)
3. S&W 629 (a lot of S&W guns have one nowadays)
Even for some guns that don't have it standard, you could buy one aftermarket. Like the Ruger GP100 has an aftermarket rail.

They are better at fixing their broken guns than they are at manufacturing guns. It comes from all their experience fixing the many guns that they manufacture and ship out broken. LOL
