brave of you, OP

>>64153876
thanks, i'm a poorfag so muh taurus is gonna have to do

>>64153900
did you know you can save up money to buy something you want? you are not bound by how much money you get in a single pay period.

>>64153845 (OP)
Nice Taurus, don’t listen to the sour grapes anon, he’s a noguns. Anyway, how’s it shoot? You take it out to 100yds yet?>>64153876

>>64153913
Sorry didn’t mean to link that faggot’s post, send and his shit were lined up.

>>64153906
but I did want this gun, anon. and it was a pretty good deal when I bought it too. and it’s very smooth shooting

>7 shot
>357 mag
>with a ported barrel
>full shroud

>>64154005
>it’s very smooth shooting

based on all the other revolvers you've shot?

>>64154021
I just like it, simple as. If that’s too much for, I don’t know how to help you

>>64153913
Not 100yds, but I was ringing some steel at 25 the other day, looking forward to taking it out again soon

Ruger or s&w for a .357? Ruger is slightly cheaper at every place I look but if I'm dropping that much an extra 100 or so isn't a big deal.

Reminder to take your guns innawoods

Should I buy this Dan Wesson 15 for $900?

>>64154077
seems like an average price.

Wheelgats 4 lyfe

>>64154111
nice collection

>>64154033
which look do you like better? i got a ruger gp100 and i love it. that it was cheaper than S&W just makes it even better.

>>64154028
Ringing steel is one of the most enjoyable things ever, just so satisfying.

Don't let people shit talk you about a Taurus revolver, they're solid

I have a 608 too, I love it

>>64154190
>they're solid

what, you fired a box of ammo through it and it didn't explode?

>>64154182
I'm very much considering a gp100 or a s&w 686. Could I ask what barrel length you got and if you got the 6 or 7 round version?

>>64154197
Like 4k, mostly .38spl ngl

Keep coping for paying more to do the same thing though, I guess.

>>64154209
i got the 4.2" 7shot for around $850. i think 4.2" is just right imo, but i cant back that up with anything besides feels since i've only ever shot this and an old blackhawk (of roughly similar barrel length) from a family member. i felt that the 3" would be tiny and look funny while 6" just seems excessive for a .357mag and i was worried it'd feel a bit awkward in the hand.
this specific model also has a fiber optic frontsight while a lot of the other models are just a regular black ramp and while you could swap out the front sight, it's just nicer to have it already on. i did try to get a distributor exclusive with full wood handles, im glad that i ultimately didnt/couldnt since the rubber grip feels nice and the wood inserts arent as tacky as i was worried about.

>>64154247
I was more leaning to the 6in version myself for better recoil management. Either the 1707 model or 1773 depending on if I want 6 or 7 rds. My LGS has them online for $842 and $876 respectively. The cheapest s&w 686 I could find $919 from aim which I also live local enough to so I could pick it up in store.

>>64154209
not OP but I have a GP100 and a Model 629. The model 629's trigger feels a lot better to me than the GP100. It's not the same caliber obviously but I'd assume the trigger on the 686 feels similar. For the average person shooting average box loads, the difference in durability won't matter. I haven't had to RMA my 629 for anything but I admit I haven't shot it a whole lot (lol). I DID have to RMA my GP100 because the cylinder was binding randomly and it took about a month and a half to get back - idk what the return time for S&W has been like recently, maybe another anon can chime in.
Obviously these are just my personal experiences. See if you can try both at the range and find what you like better. Personally if I could go back, I would have saved a little more and gotten a 686 6" because the trigger is nicer (IMO) and I like the look better.

>>64154274
i think the recoil is pretty low in just the 4.2" due to the weight, but a longer barrel would of course lessen it even more if you plan on shooting hotter loads. the other reason i chose the 1771 is i'm not a big fan of those finger ridges on the handle like the 1707 model.
>>64154284
what feels worse about the gp100's trigger compared to the 629? i dont have any experience in double action revolvers besides the gp100 and have only shot a single action before, but is it just smoother?

>>64154306
I was definitely thinking about getting some wood grips to swap out the rubber ones with to have a more 'proper' old fashioned look. The 686 also has rubber grips.

>>64154247
>i felt that the 3" would be tiny and look funny while 6" just seems excessive for a .357mag and i was worried it'd feel a bit awkward in the hand

>what feels worse about the gp100's trigger compared to the 629? i dont have any experience in double action revolvers besides the gp100 and have only shot a single action before, but is it just smoother?
better and lighter break, smoother, and I'd say the double action is a bit shorter. probably stuff you could fix yourself on the GP100 with some new springs and a trigger job, but I'm too lazy to do that.

>>64154182
>>64154209
>>64154247
I will also second loving my GP100 MC and can confirm it’s a great gun, 4.2 is the perfect barrel length for these and has a great balance and feel to it. What’s nice about the big Ruger and Colt revolvers is the grip design, the grip stub allows you to throw whatever grip you want on the Rugers. With the Colts at least the Python and Anaconda have the same grip size, with S&W guns, each grip is limited to that letter frame N,K,J and so on.

The Anaconda is really nice but I’m still a bit annoyed at immediately having to buy new sights and grips for the gun when the GP MC was about perfect out of the box, and for half the money.

>>64154365
It’s because Rugers use a short braided coil spring in the grip stub compared to other revolvers, if you change out the spring to a better quality one, and add some shims to center the hammer, it gets much better, very clicky and mechanical feeling in that precise way you know?

>>64153876
He posted a gun; where's yours?

>>64153845 (OP)
Based thread. My GP100 is an absolute beast and ridiculously accurate.

Done

Bump

>>64154740
Do you like my maliwan? People may not like rhinos, but god i love the cyberpunk drip of em personally. Also got a 5 inch gp100 and a sw 686. Wheelguns are love wheelguns are life

>>64155918
I’ve been tempted to get a rail for my GP for shits and giggles. Even have an old holosun dot I could attach.

I just put in my order for my GP100. Got the 6inch barrel 6rd version. Can't wait to get it, I feel like a kid on Christmas eve.

>>64156151
Based. It’s a solid magnum.

das rite

>>64156099
They got a small rail you can replqce just the rear sight with. Have another vortex defender i wanted to toss on it because the stock sights on the gp100 are a warcrime.

>>64156201
I like the stock sights desu, I’ve hit quarter sized targets at 75ft with everything stock.

>>64156200
what caliber?

>>64156236
.45-70

>>64156231
The rear sights not bad, just the front sight post isnt for me. Was torn between just buying some fiber optic sights or putting a rail on it. Leaning to the rail after using the vortex on my chiappa and getting way better groupings. But i also crutch a bit too much on holos and should get better with irons

Or just go full hog hunting and toss on one of those new infinitac thermals for pistols and make it a hog wheel gun

>>64156245
Cool. How is it to actually shoot? The hottest ammo I've ever shot from a handgun was some Buffalo Bore +p .45 Colt. It had a ton of recoil but was nowhere near as unpleasant (I think due to the SAA style grip) as some lesser calibers I've shot in double action revolvers

>>64156249
I find that if I have a optic on a handgun, I use that handgun less, so I took all scopes and red dots off and I’m much happier with irons. I have a set of adjustable tritium Novak target sights in the same form factor as the originals on my GP100 MC, but I understand the normal GPs don’t have a Novak dovetail do they? Either way, I really like these on this particular gun.

Do you guys ever notice a slight rattle on the rear sight blade of a Smith? I'm new to these so not sure if that smidgen of play is normal

>>64156322
Is it side to side rattle or front to back? Both aren’t great and can lead to the sight walking under recoil. I had to replace the rear sight with a Wilson Combat offering on my Anaconda because it did both and would walk to the right under recoil.

>>64153845 (OP)
Ill add my Colt, just like Colts
>>64154026
>>64154111
nice Detectives, I enjoy carrying mine

>>64156266
because of its weight if feels like shooting a .44 magnum

>>64154210
4k rounds of 38 out of a full-size 357 is nothing. pretty much any revolver is going to last like 100k rounds of38

Luv me gp100

>>64153845 (OP)
As much as I want an S&W Model 29-5, I think I’ll probably have to just buy a new 29-10 and call it a day since all I can ever find are -2s and -3s.

My only wheel gun, first year Diamondback, belonged to grandma and she carried it all over, permits be damned.

I only have mag fed handguns, but I've always wondered why don't more revolvers go bottom barrel like the Rhino? It seems like it would make the most sense recoil wise. I know on my handguns the lower the bore axis the less recoil. Why not take advantage of a revolver literally being able to have it below the top of your hand?

>>64157857
Nice revolver nudes

>>64158607
My guess is that boomers/fudds probably being a significant portion of the market has something to do with it, but that's not based on anything factual.

>>64158607
Making a weird, unconventional, new gun style is bold and hard to sell. Probably more than half of gun buyers choose a gun because “hehe cool gun from movie”

>>64156481
Do you load for it or run factory ammo? After running cfe blk and h335 in 500 BW I tried it in 444 marlin for my lone eagle… works super well…. Cfe blackout has no business being as good as it is in big bore straight wall stuff….


Hopefully bulk loading some 357 tonight though. Love the big stuff, but the Blackhawk is fun too.

>>64158607
Look at the lockwork of the Rhino compared to literally any other revolver, much more complicated and roundabout in design. You think that’s actually the hammer you cock on the Rhino? Wrong! The real hammer is deep in the guts. All of this invariably leads to a worse trigger, which kinda negates the benefits of the 6 o'clock firing position.

Good thread

does barrel finish matter is it just personal preference? I noticed black/blued barrels seem to be a little cheaper than stainless ones.

>>64155918
That grip is excellent. Really disappointed in the lack of unique rhino grips out there, so it has been great to see that ebay seller churning out new designs.

What is that?

>>64155918
That is the ugliest revolver I have ever seen

The only other wheel gun I want, is pretty HTF, the Ruger GS-33 3” .357 Security Sox built for Postal Inspectors. It was also the last service pistol Inspectors could buy when it was replaced.

>>64153845 (OP)
Have you tried exercising and going outside?

>>64162786
I've wanted a Rhino for a while now and recently molested one at a gun show. Saw the red plastic flag that pops out the top and it kinda ruined the look for me. I wish I was less autistic. How do you like it though?

Real question for the wheel gun anons
Only one I ever shot just so happens to be the best looking ever made, the 4.2" GP100 with the hogues, and I am starting to consider getting one
Is there any (real) reason to get anything else or are people just doing it for upvotes

>>64163379
I have a double action only version without the flag

>>64163441
It's all personal preference, I find rugers to be incredibly ugly and I hate their cylinder release, same with colts. Only modern revolvers I buy are S&Ws but even then only prelocks

>>64163441
>best looking
Sure it might look pretty but how does it shoot? How does it feel in your hand? How does the controls feel? Try holding some revolvos in a gun store first. It's hard to go wrong with a gp100 but I found it too blocky and heavy and didn't like the cylinder release.

God I love the Model 19. Daisuke Jigen uses it and fucking hell it looks sexy as hell.

>>64153845 (OP)
As a poor eurofag I unfortunately only have one to post

>>64163679
why are they so expensive when it's the exact same design as a smith and wesson?
At least Korth's have a different lockwork

>>64163687
You're asking the wrong man, smiths are about as expensive here. But if I were to make a guess I'd say it's the fact that Spohr doesn't use any mim parts and everything is forged and hand-fitted.

>>64163679
That's cool, what country specifically if you don't mind me asking

>>64163690
>But if I were to make a guess I'd say it's the fact that Spohr doesn't use any mim parts and everything is forged and hand-fitted.
man a k38 masterpiece here you can pick up for $500-$600

I only posted the first pic with the 637 because S&W was budget cutting their jframes when they switched from flatspring to coil spring for the mainspring

>>64153876
every taurus ive shot or handled has been very nice

>>64163693
The finnish one

>>64163707
Well, I don't know what to tell you. Maybe they are overpriced over there. In here the price was very competetive, I paid 2800 for mine while new smiths were around 2000. If I wanted a new gun it would have made absolutely zero sense to buy a 686 instead.

Go handle one. If you can't feel the difference in quality, or the price doesn't otherwise make sense for you, then don't buy one. All I can tell you is that I'm very happy with my L562, even though I'm an awful shot with it.

>>64154111
whats the bottom left one? a jc higgins?

>>64154389
we getting artsy now?

>>64156322
yes and its normal. its not moving enogh to affect aim at all its like a thousandth of an inch of play. its adjustable and needs room to be able to move back and forth when you turn the screws

>>64163441
I like my GP100 a lot, if it weren't for the fact that I have an 80's 357 Redhawk, then I'd probably shoot it a lot more.
I've put around 3500 rounds through it.

>>64163379
it shoots 38 with almost no recoil. DA trigger pull kinda sucks compared to swessen.

9mm revolvers, based or cringe?

>>64164190
copped... my first wheelgat :)

>>64158828

I'd still buy a modernized LeMat for smokeless cartridges if one was made.

No pics (baby roaming around) but muh wheelguns:

▪S&W 629 (8⅜ inch)
▪S&W 500 (8⅜ inch)
▪S&W 642 (1⅞ inch)
▪S&W BG38 (1⅞ inch)
▪NAA 22M R4 (4 inch)
▪NAA 22LR HG (1¼ inch)
▪Ruger Wrangler 22LR (3¾ inch)
▪Ruger Single Nine (6½ inch)
▪Rohm RG38

I got an S&W 627 R8, but it's going out for a conversion so I'm not getting it back for a while.

>>64163379
the flag isnt really visible when youre behind the iron sights at least

Congrats anon! It will serve you will

>>64164258
Its sacrilegious but I,m curious. The cheap ammo would be nice.
If smith and wesson did an ultimate carry version I might have to get it

>>64164431
originaly wanted a 686 6" with a wooden grip but for that price I can't pass it up, and now the rubber is growing on me anyway.

>>64164494
You can swap them very easily. I have some wood ones but I always default back to the rubber when innawoods or carrying. They just work

>>64164190
>>64164263
I just bought the 4" for that price and had to send it back because they forgot to pin the front sight.... hoping for a quick turnaround.

>>64154274
>s&w 686 I could find $919
S&W seems like they're dumping the 6 shot 686s. Ive seen them online for $650

How do you prevent rust on your blued wheel guns when you go innawoods and it gets a bit wet?

>>64164876
wish I knew that sooner but I've already ordered my gp100. Oh well.

>>64164926
Keep a light coat of oil on it and clean when you get home/to camp

somebody plz help me find a cheap used 686 2.5" to put this on

>>64154054
nice legs

>>64164258
I'd say cringe. Moonclips are finicky and easily bent. Once bent they can bind and lock up a revolver. Cheap ammo is nice I guess

>>64163679
>poor
>Spohr
Oh shut up.

>>64161544
I believe the difference is that the blueing is a thin layer of oxidation that is resistance to rust, whereas the stainless steel is the entirety of the gun, not just a layer. Therefore, the stainless has better rust resistance.

Personal preference? Blueing is the sex

>>64163568
Incredible wheelgat anon. I've looked at either a Model 19 or a Model 27 4", not sure which one to get. The 19 looks like it'll fit my hands better, but I've heard concerns with shooting a steady diet of .357s. Is there any merit to it?

>>64166608
Don’t shoot any of bubba’s pissing hot handloads or any bullet weights under ~147gr and you’ll be fine. The new-production Model 19/66s can handle anything you can throw at them.
>t. Model 19-5 owner with thousands of .357 through it.

>>64163740
Why not?

>>64164258
Based, particularly for single actions with drop in cylinders. I have a Uberti 1875 with 9mm and .357 cylinders so I can have a rootin' tootin' range day for dirt cheap, or shoot buffalo bore bear dilators with the same gun.

>>64166626
I still haven't put any .357 down my 19-4. My paranoia is overwhelming.
>>64166608
I'd say the modern lockless Model 19. Perfect dimensions and its probably 10x more unbreakable than any of the previous generations.

>>64166563
Poor can mean different things, in this case I mean it as in 'unfortunate'

If I didn't have to wrestle with bureaucracy every time I wanted to buy a gun I'd have much more

Its a nice grip, makes single action a bit more queer to use but overall alot nicer then the stock wood one it came with.
