Thread 64373800

Picked this beaut up today. Excited to take it to the range. Need to order some .327 for it.

When I’m not carrying my G47 I’m carrying my air weight bay bay

I got a 6 inch gp100 for my first revolver and I kinda wish I had gone for the 4 inch barrel now. It's just too big and bulky.

>>64373800 (OP)
Patrician taste.

Is the TRR8 a meme? Or is it actually worth $1600?

Is there any way to buy an aftermarket shroud for a j frame in 2025?

is it legal for him to just execute the dude on the ground like that

>>64374778
Yes

>>64374778
bad guy still had the gun in his hand, even after being shot a second time.

>>64373952
if only it were possible to buy a second gun

>>64373952
The 6" version has too much inertia to point quickly. The Match Champion remedies this with a half-lug barrel, but it's very expensive.

>>64374778
depends on a few things mostly
like where you are
what your race is
what race the shooter is

I didn't want to make a new thread over a dumb question so I decided to shit up this one. Please bare with my retardation:

Is there really such a thing as a "combat revolver" distinguished from a "regular" revolver? Or is it just marketing LARP?

>>64374778
The prosecutor would have to prove that the guy was no longer a reasonable threat which is a pretty high bar considering that the younger guy looks like he initiated the escalation to deadly force and he was still holding his firearm when he was on the ground.

I'd be more concerned about the shot the old man fired down the street.

>>64374587
In the end, all that mattered was who shot first.

>>64374955
My daily carry.

>>64374978
now you know why they demonized Han for shooting first.

>>64374955

>>64374955
>Is there really such a thing as a "combat revolver"
Not really, those revolver were made for Police with shields to use while breaching. Slides would get stuck on the shield and revolvers don't have that problem.

>>64374955
As other anon said, the TRR8 and 'tactical' revolvers are great for SWATing due to the short length and use with a shield, but that's different from 'combat'. I think a revolver is potentially a great backup piece for a firefight. That reload time is the real Achilles heel though, for protracted hostile engagement.

I want to hear from anons that have shot or own them though, I think it might be a really ideal home defense handgun because it can take a light and won't jam. But the price point is up there, above what I paid for a home defense shotgun.

>>64376096
10 years from now we will talk about revolvers the way we talk about HK. Not for the poor…they will be status symbols of the elites.

Recently aquired single six chambered in 32 h&r magnum.
I like it. It has a little more ass behind it than I was expecting. Does anyone happen to know if 32 auto works in these? Its semi rimmed so it should right?

>>64374803
ever think maybe he doesn't want to drop another 800 bucks or so?

>>64374778
it was in brazil so who tf knows

>>64375785
>those revolver were made for Police with shields

ngl that really felt more like a sales pitch than an actual use. most SWAT shield guys dont even point a gun, they are just on shield duty. especially when they're using a modern shield that is actually rated for rifle rounds, you aren't one-handing one of those.

>>64376257
Conventional wisdom is that anything that shoots .32 H&R and .327 should be capable of shooting .32 auto. Have I personally tested this? No.

>BEFORE USING GUN - READ WARNING IN INSTRUCTION MANUAL AVAILABLE
God damn can they just stop ruining the guns with that shit. The only thing written on the gun should be a well hidden model and the caliber.

>>64376096
The tr8s have issues, mostly with the barrel design and shield to protect the top strap from cutting due to the lightweight material used in the frame. Being an 8 shot also means an N frame, or eNormously thick making IWB a bit of a pipe dream. HD only revolver in .357 that beats itself to death with .357 loads gives it a very small niche. I'd love a 686+ with a light rail, planning to work on a 3dp light mounting method for them in the near future and see how that works

>>64374778
Who cares

>>64376829
I know, I hate it when companies do that. I have an old jm marlin that says to read manual before use too
I typically prefer pre '79 rugers because they dont have the warnings billboard.
I have several with the warning that i want to remove. Completely ruins the look of the gun
>>64376364
Looks like I will have to be the one to try it. I have not seen anyone actually try, they just say it should work.

.32 gang
>>64376885
Tried to buy some at my LGS today but they didn't have any. I'm not gonna put in an online order for it because I don't have any .32 ACP guns. Sorry anon.

>>64377223
I’ll eat some pineapple and you can come over. If you want hollow points, I’m going need eye contact.

>>64377266
I have other guns chambered in more common calibers as well, anon. If .32 disappears from the face of the earth tomorrow, I can always shoot .357/.38

Why the hell isn't there any load data for the 32 long or H&R that uses the 71 grain 32acp bullets? I have a shitload that I use for my 32 acp handloads, but I don't want to buy a whole other type of bullet for one of my less shot cartridges. This is the only reason I haven't bought one of those Ultimate Carry J frames. I already have 3 38 special J frames so I'm not buying a 4th that isn't any different from my regular 642. It'll probably have a worse trigger too because I stone all my carry revolvers nice and smooth.

>>64373800 (OP)
why am I suddenly seeing so much .327 on this board? what's so special about .327?

>>64377406
It's a meme cartridge that really should be more popular, but it is too expensive for anybody to shoot regularly so they like to just yack about it on basket weaving forums.

>>64377406
there's a kind of fun spike at the .312 bullet diameter on a graph, people who enjoy shooting realize they get more fun per shot out of .32 and so they wind up with an inordinate number of .32 guns. I just got my sixth, personally.

>>64377455
What does 44 out of an air weight feel like?

>>64377469
.32 ACP pistols are fun because they're so tiny which makes them cute and easy to conceal, but .327 revolvers are the same size as .357 revolvers, so I don't see how the bullet diameter being .312 instead of .357 (or any other size for that matter) magically makes the gun more fun.

Anybody else here Rohmpilled?

>>64377504
yeah but +1 round is more betterer

>>64377534
Unironically of course :>) imagine thinking a fraction of a fraction of an inch of increased expanded diameter is better than an extra projectile and so extra shot at major organ/artery/CNS disruption

>>64377506
what is the point of the back half of the trigger guard on a fitz special? reduced snag risk?
>>64377534
lame

>>64377534
>>64377548
K6S got six.

>>64377406
Chris Baker from Lucky Gunner shilled .32 years ago which got the ball rolling, S&W reintroduced a .32 J frame that was well made and Ruger put out a special SP101 in .327 in 2024 which got people excited about it, the j frame and SP101 sold well enough to get 2nd versions made, now people are seeing the benefit of .32 over .38/.357 (namely lower recoil and extra round with good performance) so it's gaining traction. It also helps that prices for .32 H&R are down quite a bit from when S&W put out the J frame. It was like a dollar per round and now it's down to 50cpr if you know where to look.

>.327

Anyone try the revomag yet?

>>64377594
luv me .41mag

>>64377801
No, but I’ve used a .357 Desert Eagle magazine for it which is pretty much the same thing, it’s still not as fast as a speed loader.

>>64377801
>$65 and holds 8 rounds of .38/.357
It's not a new concept. Boomers would load their .45 ACP revolvers with 1911 mags. You could buy a Deagle .357 magazine for cheaper than the revomag and get 9 rounds instead of 8

>>64377907
>get 9 rounds instead of 8

It’s actually 10, I know it says 9 but it fits 10.

Really gotta get nice wood grips for my Model 69

>>64377953
Spend more time looking at it than shooting it, eh?

>>64377960
Unfortunately yeah, don't get as much range time as i'd like

>>64377967
You should look at some Pachmayr Grippers instead, you’ll want to shoot it more if it’s not so shocking to shoot. Colt and S&W have this issue with exposing the frame on the backstrap on most of their guns, leading to more felt recoil and a “sledgehammer” feeling to your hand, Pachmayr grips enclose the frame and give you more material to work with.

>>64377904
Is it faster than a speed strip?

>>64377992
speed strips aren't secure enough imo. bullets could easily fall out if you sat weird.

>>64377992
Nope, you’re still loading 2 at a time with the strip instead of 1 with a magazine, the real neat accessory someone should make is mini Sinclair Loadmasters for .357 and .44 mag.

>>64377989
>Pachmayr Grippers

Since I shoot maybe a box of underwood a year out of my 44mag i'd rather some nice walnut grips.

>>64378022
>amini Sinclair Loadmaster

i think the size of 12ga makes that sort of design more feasible and honestly hand-feeding bullets is the least secure way of doing so. the fact of the matter is that reloading revolvers sucks ass, the ways to do it quickly are jank, the best versions of the method are usually more expensive that magazines and these versions simply do not fit in a pocket without bulging in a silly way.

imo its why 5-shot revolvers are such a bad idea.

>>64378068
I think it would work well if lightly spring loaded, I’m talking a belt mounted size that lets you get +2 +2 +2 to load the gun.

>>64377890
This one was the 8 inch with the chrome polish finish…. If I pick up a 41 mag and a 327 federal mag revolver then I’ll have the full set of magnums…. 22, 327, 357, 10mmM, 41, 44, and 500…. Maybe get something converted to 10mm magnum as well.. although that’s definitely wildcat territory…

>>64377890
Collection goals aside, how’s that shoot? It looks fantastic.

>>64378189
right it would be cool but my point is that once loose bullets are in your hands its now significantly more likely you will drop them. the benefit of a speed strip is that all the bullets are attached to be big strip you can easily hold in your palm, same with a speedloader.

>>64378068
Hard to keep the size reasonable if your putting more than 5 shots in it though…


Although I guess ruger figured it out…. But they seem like they can’t be bothered to make something bigger than 454….

>>64378263
The metal between each chamber is dar thicker than the chamber to the outside of the cylinder. Looks like they could fit a sixth round in there.

>>64378268
Wonder if they just kept the 5 shot timing from the 500 version when they made the 460…. Compared to the super redhawk in 454 yeah it could probably get away with closer spacing… BFR cylinder in 500 for comparison… don’t think you’d sneak 6 in that.

>>64376096
Have both. A revolver you can hand over to the Mrs. and she knows it's loaded and there is no safety and she wont hit the mag release in a panic or have a pistol in single action after a defensive shoot. Maybe more reliable for big game encounters.

I mean other than cost, which is irrelevant and terminal effect, as 357 snubs and 9mm +p is about the same, what in that pic is wrong? Being able to have a firing grip and able to fire while still concealed is legitimately an advantage of revolvers, heavy DA revolver triggers are legitimately safer that Glock style pistols with light, short traveling triggers and no safety. Most autos can't really be pocket carried so you need a holster and that is just less comfortable than pocket carry unless it is a small pistol in an OWB holster, and even if you choose one small enough to pocket carry you can only shoot it once, maybe twice before it jams up on your clothes.

>>64379834
>357 snubs and 9mm +p is about the same
9mm +P out of an automatic is going to recoil much, much less than a 357mag out of a snub. "skill issue" or "lift more" is not an argument
>Being able to have a firing grip and able to fire while still concealed is legitimately an advantage of revolvers
paul harrel ruined an entire generation of gun owners. do any of you nerds even practice shooting from inside a pocket? probably not. you dont even practice hip firing because your range doesn't allow it. so much of this rhetoric hinges on you actually being competent at hipfiring or the assailants being the guys from that Collateral gif. the fact of the matter is that shooting from inside a pocket is comically inaccurate and borderline negligent. you have 5 or 6 shots and you're wasting them blind firing.
>heavy DA revolver triggers are legitimately safer that Glock style pistols with light, short traveling triggers and no safety.
no they aren't because those automatics are being carried in a rigid kydex holster.
>Most autos can't really be pocket carried so you need a holster and that is just less comfortable than pocket carry unless it is a small pistol in an OWB holster, and even if you choose one small enough to pocket carry you can only shoot it once, maybe twice before it jams up on your clothes.
if carried correctly and if you make an intelligent choice of CC gun then it is only mildly annoying.

i dont even hate revolvers but i do hate revolver users on /k/ because ALL of you are feels > reals posters who try to pretend they carry a revolver for legitimate tactical reasons.

>>64379837
Both tests use clear gel and therefore is irrelevant. Clear gel does not simulate real gel or human tissue. It is about half as dense as real gel and you can not use standards set with real gel while testing using clear gel as a medium. It is purely a marketing and youtuber product. Watch the video about CCi Uppercut from 22 plinkster and he goes over why clear gel is not relevant.

You're points were stupid and not relevant the the points that were presented. All you did was move goalposts and didn't actually argue against the point. Like the shooting from the pocket thing. No shit, most people aren't practiced in it. Most people aren't practiced in shooting clays, but acting like the majority of people not being practiced in a particular skill means that the benefit of the skill doesn't exist is retarded. I can sure see the benefit of shooting clays if I'm hungry and want some duck. I can also see the benefit of pocket shooting if I am being followed by someone.

A holster does not make an inherently less safe design more safe.

Recoil is relevant, but not what was being talked about. 38 special out of a steel frame J has less recoil than 9mm out of a subcompact if you want to talk about recoil.

Iwb holsters are less comfortable than pocket carry no matter what you are carrying, end of discussion.

>Hurr durr don't carry .357 it performs the same as .38 +P in jelly.
Nevermind that the extra 175+ ft-lbs goes somewhere in the target. Namely into the soft tissue.

And when asked how to improve revolvers he gives the most asinine response:

>Lighter materials
Just increases felt recoil. Especially brain dead combined with below.

>automatic cartridges
Why shill the .327 so hard then? The sharper recoil of auto carts does not help controllability in J frames.

Common sense says emphasize low flash loads and longer barrels so the unique can shine.

>Optic cutouts
Typical self-defense engagements do not benefit from this given the trade offs. Retards on the chan like to what if brigade shit that does not matter. if you can't hit dinner plate at 12 ft without optics then you need to kys.

Pocket carry is one thing, but I can't imagine living in an area dangerous enough where I feel the need to walk around constantly holding my gun in my hand

>>64377554
>what is the point of the back half of the trigger guard on a fitz special? reduced snag risk?
purpose of the fitz special is to make it so it doesnt snag when drawing it from a pocket, without a trigger guard in the back it could snag on the trigger when drawing
other reason is it stops your middle finger from sliding up to being behind the trigger and making sure you dont stop the trigger from fully depressing because your finger is accidentally in the way

>>64377742
.32 H&R really is a better airweight cartridge. The only reason .38 became standard in snubbies is because they were initially steel framed guns and police wanted ammo commonality with their service revolvers. That doesn't mean that .38 is any good out of an airweight. 5 shots instead of 6, snappy recoil for the weight unless you get a steel frame, and most loadings don't actually perform that well out of a 2" barrel. You can call me a contrarian for not using .38 for snubbies, but I don't care because I'm already being extremely autistic by buying and carrying revolvers. I'm going to pick calibers that actually work well with the frame size and weight and have good performance out of the guns they're going to be fired through.

They are pretty accurate too. Right to point of aim with my sights at 10 yards and only spreading about an inch.

>>64389871
All you really have to do is check the timing before you buy it. Slowly pull the trigger and listen for the cylinder latch clicking into place. That's the little rounded piece in the bottom of the cylinder window. If it clicks into place for every chamber before the hammer drops, you're good. If you get one that has a hammer to cock, check in double action AND in single action. The latch should click into place BEFORE the hammer is fully cocked into place for each chamber of the cylinder in single action.

If the timing is good, all you need to do at that point is to put in some snap caps or spent cases and dry fire the shit out of it to smooth the action out. Alternatively, you can do a trigger job on it with a hard Arkansas stone and MAYBE a slightly lighter trigger return spring. Don't change the hammer spring if you intend on carrying it, like the vast majority of morons on the youtube do. That's what I do anyway, but if you aren't confident or competent enough for that, either take it to a gunsmith or do it or, like I said before, dry fire the shit out of it. Smiths are fine, they just don't have the QC that they used to and some of them slip out poorly timed. Just check for that and you can feel safe buying a J frame.

>>64389962
Thanks anon, I'm just going to have to spend a good amount of time looking over it before buying.

>>64389782
At a certain point with cast bullets it’s all pretty specialized and the grain weight of it is what sets the price. If you compare 71gn 32 cal bullets with 230 gn 45 cal the uniqueness of the round isn’t gonna offset the fact that you get 3 bullets of the smaller for every 45 cal….

>>64373952
See if you can't find one of the Lipsey exclusive GP100's.
5 inch half lugs really are the best of both worlds. They were the industry standard for a long ass time for a good reason and I don't get why no one does them anymore outside retro lines.

>more energy than 44 mag
If you’re shooting weak bitch .44 Mag loads maybe

Talk me out of a nu-Python or nu-Anaconda. I mostly have S&Ws and only have .357 and .38 revolvers right now.

>>64383787
Coming from someone who loves top break revolvers, it's not impossible, but it's going to cost a lot to do nothing significantly better than a swing-out cylinder revolver. It has marketing value as an ambidextrous revolver and faster reloads for the general population, but few people would be willing to pay what it would cost for any revolver manufacturer to design and build one.

>>64394495
Just sayin anon.. you can get the cartoonishly large guns….

>>64394515
People pay for Korths and other fancy revolvers, surely a niche can be done

>>64379783
this is 100% a certified trvthnvke in regards to snubbie fags, microcompacts absolutely mog them in every way. revolvers start becoming good once you use a full size 357mag or bigger, I'd rather carry one than a 10mm any day

>>64395462
I think the complication would be designing an entirely new revolver from the ground up and no company wants to do that. Or I'm assuming it would have to be a completely new design if they want to chamber it in a popular cartridge. For as expensive as Korth and Spohr revolvers are, they don't really have any special new design or engineering. Spohr is nothing more than a worked-over S&W with a different mainspring.

>>64394495
The only bad things about them are the factory grips and rear sight, grips don’t do anything but slam the frame into your hand, and the stock sight will not hold zero without glue, so factor replacements for new grips and a Wilson Combat rear sight into your price. Otherwise the guns are fine, I love my Anaconda.

Makes me sad that revolvers are no longer viable for carry unless you want to be severely outgunned

>>64394515
This.
It can be done, but you'd be paying "lasts four generations of daily use" money for "lasts decades of regular use" build quality.

>>64394495
I have been shooting my nuPython for a couple years now and agree with this anon >>64396078

>>64396078
What barrel length do you have? Do you hand load for it? Is that extra-wide trigger still conducive to double action trigger pulls? I've been wanting a 4.25" Anaconda and am trying to talk myself out of it

>>64398811
6in, no but I have everything but the dies for it, the double action is probably the best .44mag DA I’ve tried, very smooth. And if I didn’t want the 6in for looks, I’d totally recommend the 4.25, the front is a bit nose heavy on the 6in, I’d imagine the 4.25 is right on the money for perfect balance. I recommend Pachmayr Grippers for a replacement grip, it’s what’s pictured.

Can also highly recommend the Match Champion if anyone was curious.

I'm turning 21 next November and plan on this being my first gun. What am I in for?

>>64399204
Fun shooting.

>>64398910
Wow, that looks amazing with the Pachmayr Grippers. I have that same pair (I assume yours are the old model Grippers too) for my Python - but the rubber didn't quite cover the cutout on the grip. I've since replaced them with the Pachmayr Presentation grips with the covered backstrap.

I don't know why Hogue refuses to make a grip with an enclosed backstrap for the Python/Anaconda

Anyone like tyler T grips and their clones? I love them since they give you a full grip while still getting to use the stock grips that don't interfere at all with speed loaders.

>>64400306
Yeah I’m not sure if they’re NOS or what but I think they’re brand new production, the rubber has a very grippy but not tacky feel, really tames the .44 mag to make extended shooting sessions possible. Before, with the stock grips, you felt it at the end of 50 rounds. Also thank you man, I’m quite happy with it and pleased with how it turned out.

I’m not sure either in regards to the Hogues as I was confused to find out that’s what the gun came with that sucked so much haha. But I have American Legends from Pachmayr on my 1911 because it has no front strap checkering or grip of any kind, and those really changed how much muzzle flip it has.

>>64379886
>si=

>>64401647
have something like it on my grandpa's old 38, definitely makes it better to hold and shoot

>>64401763
What does it say on it? I haven't seen that style before with no grooves. Nice gun.

>>64401763
Interesting I hadn't seen those before with out the finger grooves nice gun.

>>64401647
I like my BK grips alot. Sent a check off to Tyler for T-grips months ago. Check's been cashed, but no grips sent yet. I don't even have the gun I ordered the t-grips for anymore.

>>64402743
I don't even know if Tyler is still in business his website is gone. The next best thing behind BK is the robertson trading post USA made clones on ebay if you want raw aluminum ones.

>>64401647
I've used BK grips a lot, been pretty happy with them.
>>64402165
That's the Pachmayr style. No longer made, but popular a long time ago with cops. The FBI issued them standard on their 3" Model 13s.

>>64402165
this was pretty neat to see, grip stippling 50's style

>>64403059
That's wild I've never seen that done before

>>64403045
interesting, the family story with the gun is that it was taken off a dead cop in san francisco during prohibition. There's an SFPD sergeant's name written in pencil on the inside of one of the grips, I looked up the name but couldn't find any death story, but did find at least 3 cops with that name over the years.

Howdy

Anyone have experience with picrel?

>>64403752
thanks bro, I knew it had a wordplay name but I was thinking shit like Strippy Strap.

>>64401647
I use them on a k frame and a j frame. They vastly improve on the stock grips when it comes to not moving under recoil.

>>64399204
I have an older 4" model 19 like that. Yours will be better with powerful .357 loads due to the improved crane design. Check it well when you get it since modern S&W qc has not recovered from the bad old days of being owned by a PE firm. Should be good shit though otherwise. Though you may have to ride the warranty rodeo possibly.

How is the quality on ruger revolvers in current year? Smith is beyond fucked and I'm looking for alternatives

>>64374793
giga-based

>>64385964
Tbh any handgun round that isn’t 9mm or .22LR is relatively expensive. Part and parcel. I’d rather pay more for a caliber I like than pay less for a caliber I don’t. .38 sucks in general and so does .357. Small frames should be .32s and I’d rather shoot 9mm or .40 out of a medium frame.

>>64404511
Poor QC but excellent customer service so at least better than S&W in that respect

>>64404511
They’re excellent, just don’t buy the poorfag options like the plastic framed LCRs and you shouldn’t have any issues.

>>64405589
>muh plastic
My SP101 has a huge unfinished burr inside of it, I’m about to send my GP100 back for the third time for being out of time and peppering my face with hollow point jacket bits (first two times were because the action completely seized), and my LCR runs flawlessly with no cosmetic blemishes.

>>64405606
That's fucking terrible, it's sad that you can't buy a revolver these days with out expecting to have to send it back.

>>64403535
no because the guy never made them

>>64405589
I've never heard of someone having a problem with an LCR, and they've never been cheap either, a taurus equivalent is about half the price.

>>64405606
Yeah sounds like normal revolvers, my 80’s S&W 6in does that forcing cone thing with certain ammo types. I guess it’s especially tight or something. The burr thing is easily fixable, especially if it’s internal, do you not own a rat tail file?

>>64405884
>Yeah sounds like normal revolvers, my 80’s S&W 6in does that forcing cone thing with certain ammo types. I guess it’s especially tight or something.
Sounds like a timing issue to me
>The burr thing is easily fixable, especially if it’s internal, do you not own a rat tail file?
I’ll admit that it’s fixable and purely cosmetic. The SP runs like a champ. I just think guns shouldn’t leave the factory like that.

>>64405973
Timing is fine, lock up is tight

Will I ever need fancy bear loads? Probably not. Does it tickle my autism to have bullets color matched to my gun and to shoot Grizzly™ ammunition out of a Colt™ Grizzly™ revolver? Yes. Did I need to spend twenty more bucks on something to get free shipping from midway? Also yes.

>>64406002
Still need to replace that rear sight.

>>64373800 (OP)
OP here. I got one of those Ruger branded Triple K holsters for this. Went with the 3 inch holster and it doesn't fit. Seems like they can only accommodate fixed sights with that one. I'm gonna return it and get the 4 inch holster since all of the 4 inch SP101s have adjustable sights.

The new version of it can take hot 125 grain. If you get one that works anyway. Nice model 66.

>>64376829
It sucks, but the manufacturer's are just covering their own asses for legal cases.
If it clearly says "read manual before use" then when inevitably some dumbshit shoots himself in the leg, he can't sue them for "I thought that it was safe/would work in a way it really doesn't work".

You just know that that was exactly what put those warnings there in the first place. Someone had a ND and sued the company because "I thought that...". But if it clearly has "RTFM" on it, he has no reason (that would stand in court) to be ignorant how it's supposed to be handled.

...doesn't suck any less, though.

>>64376829
>STOP TELLING ME WHAT TO DO, GUN!

For those that carry a wheel gun, do you carry a reload? If you do what do you use (speed strip or speed loader) and where do you carry it?

>>64412811
>>64410164
>underwood shills who just watch youtube and don't shoot

>>64415136
when i carried a revolver i would have a speed strip. its the only reasonable way to carry without needing a specific belt pouch. anyone who rawdogs a speedloader or moonclip in their pocket is a retard.

>>64415136
I carry a speedloader or speed strip in my pocket. It's less for in the heat of the moment reloads as it is for refilling my gun after I dump the cylinder into the attacker so my gun doesn't remain empty until the cops arrive. I usually prefer a speed strip but I can't find any for .32 so I've been carrying a HKS lately.

>>64375159
Nobody demonized Han for shooting a guy who was holding a gun to his head and who threatened to kill him. Greedo didn't even have a chance to shoot, nor should he.

Little sissy boy George decided to make that change about 20 years after the film came out.

>>64415274
>>64415449
Do you just throw the speed strip in your pocket with out any sort of cover to prevent lint?

>>64379834
>about the same
If the 9mm is coming out of a full sized (4-5" barrel) gun not a p365 sure, and if you’re being autistic a .38spl vs human flesh is every bit as lethal, but what really matters here is

Revolvers are comfy and an ever so slightly oversized kydex taco that has excessive material in all the wrong places (like the overly tall sight channel and oversized underbarrel material universal to every kydex taco), over another plastic brick, with all the weight above the belt, is not so comfy

I always wondered this.
If a revolver can shoot .22lr/.38 and the more powerful .22 magnum/.357 magnum, is the point of aim still the same? So if I can shoot a .38 really well at range, does that mean I can also shoot a .357 well at range or do you gotta train both calibers individually?

>>64417390

ya ok hands-in-pockets walker.

>>64415449
>so much a victim he thinks after he kills an attacker he is going to be swarmed by bystanders

Anyone here change from rubber grips to wood grips on a 357 magnum? With A GP-100 I'm trying to gauge if the felt recoil changes significantly, especially if it's checkered aggressively.

>>64417688
.357 shoots flatter, the difference is noticible at 75+ yards with a 5" barrel.

>>64415136
2 speed loaders in offhand of my shoulder holster. Buffalo bore hardcast in both of them.

>>64417919
it's more the back strap that hits you, a larger grip spreads out the impact and a squishy grip lessens it. Going to small wood side panels and exposed backstrap, the backstrap is what you notice. Smooth wood side panels themselves feel nicer, when switching to them.

>>64417709
In some neighborhoods it do be like that

People just dont go there because the local DOJ isn’t on their side (J doesn’t stand for justice) even if they survive

>>64373800 (OP)
Got a chance to take it to the range today. Chris Baker is right, .327 is a little excessive out of this small of a gun. .32 long felt like a .22 which was cool, and .32 Mag was pretty nice, much like a .38 special from a 4 inch k frame.

>>64418572
Baker's description of a .327 SP101 as an "80% scale K frame" feels pretty apt.

>>64418590

How thick are your revolvers at the cylinder?

>>64415449
>can't find any for .32
ebay has these, with 8 slots you can do 2+2+2 with empty slots between the 2s. I got some, they work fine.

When would you carry a 6 inch revolver?

>>64418695
When hunting. I killed a deer last year with my 6" Model 27. One .357 slug and it went down.

>>64418739
How far away was the deer when you took the shot? Nice catch.

>>64418752
About 50 yards, give or take 10. I was in a tree stand.

>>64418572
Dang it. I bought a 3 inch .327 early this year and didn’t know they released some special model that came with a rear sight and half lug barrel. BOOO!
Now I have to find a good rear sight option and pay more.

am I dumb for wanting a model 10 over a model 19? I just think that the model 10 is such a beautiful revolver but it seems like a bit of a silly choice considering that the model 19 has pretty much the same dimensions, has better sights, and can fire .357.

>>64377732
It was better. He got a no-bill from a Grand Jury. That's as solid as a Not Guilty from a trial. He can never be charged again due to double jeopardy. We don't fuck around here in Texas.

So, .357 snubs are obsolete. Kimber making one should have been the top signal.

We must carry big irons to remain tactically relevant. 6" barrel minimum. The age of dick tracy is over. The time of the arizona ranger has begun.

>>64423067
3 inch is the perfect carry barrel length. Not so long it's uncomfortable to carry and substantially better ballistic performance than 2 inch.

I've been through a few revolvers because they're really good currency to trade at gun shows.
Twice i've finalized a deal with boomers where i only had half the actual value on my end but with an overvalued revolver tipping the scales in my favor.

I currently only have this guy because its a pet project and probably wont sell for much anyway.
What "real" revolver should i get, with the strict purpose of being a proper-ass gun in my rotation. I saw some kind of single action Ruger in 357 at the pawn shop for under 500, but i didn't like how it still had the loading gate and extraction rod even though it looked pretty slick.

>>64376857
>mostly with the barrel design and shield to protect the top strap from cutting
what's wrong with the barrel? and is top strap issue just that it's too sharp or the solution to that didn't pan out?
i want one to use with a masterfire

>>64386265
>After the nerve damage sets in it’s not so bad honestly
no, that shit does suck, it heals slowly

>>64423542
If it has time to heal you aren’t shooting enough…


Jokes aside, I don’t know if I’m fucking my joints for old age, probably. But it’s fun as hell and it doesn’t seem to make me feel any more achy that I do from my usual work. Technique helps a lot. If you try holding it down like a semi auto 9mm your gonna have a bad time. Best thing I’ve found is letting the gun move through the recoil it wants to do. Just don’t let it hit you and don’t lock your elbows…. The lone eagle I have is worse to shoot recoil wise than the big revolvers I have due to the bullpup configuration and bore axis, along with the solid fiberglass grip… it’s gonna be interesting to see how the contender I got is gonna compare against how the x frame and BFR feel…

>>64424055
i don't shoot any big irons powerful enough like that to cause the damage itself, i just remember shooting after said dmg and laughing because i was like 'yea, that shit is still numb'
you definitely get it in your finger tips with most guns though

>>64424089
Most I’ve ever had was when I first got my Alaskan and ran about 25 rounds through it I had really sore palms for about 2 days.. then I shot it intermittently for a while, usually around 15 ish rounds a month of 454 trying a bunch of different types of ammo…. I stopped feeling sore up until the first time I took it out with a bunch of friends, vs an indoor range…. And shot about 70 rounds through it over a 6 hour period… felt it as a dull ach for about a week. Although after that I got my 500, and got into reloading and didn’t have to much ache after that from it…. I’ll feel it for a day or two after doing an outdoor shoot, but it’s not enough to get in the way of my normal day to day stuff. The only exception being before I got the BFR converted it had a really sharp squared edge on the trigger guard and would demolish my support hands pointer finger knuckle.. which was annoying…. But I cut the hell out of myself like that at work pretty regularly and it doesn’t stop you from doing stuff, just stings every time you bump it till it heals up….


When I got my 460 I ran through about 40 rounds out in the middle of nowhere and it didn’t phase me. The lone eagle is a different though, that’s harder on your wrists in a way that doesn’t seem to be easily counterable by changing grips. Granted this was with an extreme edge case as far as loads go… also not having a break or porting doesn’t help much…

>>64424117
is that a screw on cap for the rear part of the chamber? are you out of your mind? that's going to cause brain dmg when it flies off

>>64424117
also very nice mg

>>64424124
Can’t tell you if I’m out of my mind. But yeah the lone eagle has a rotary breach. That said… if you manage to put enough force in that to blow it off you have somehow collossally fucked up. Also fwiw that’s an actual gun produced by magnum research in 444 marlin and not something I converted. Also even with the 505 gn bullet in that hitting 1650fps out of the 14 inch barrel… it was still 30% below max pressure for 444 based on GRT’s modeling…. Predicted velocity was 30fps slower than actual recorded velocity.

>>64424132
Wish I could post more of the machine guns, but it’s not mine, and the gentleman who owns it (and a few others) specifically requested that videos and pics of it don’t find their way online… he had a bad experience with someone using a video of one of his maxims in a bunch of anti fun videos.. so while I don’t think he’d mind it being partially in the background, out of respect (and sincere wish to keep enjoying full auto heavy fun) those videos don’t get posted.

>>64424159
after seeing that youtuber with the serbu special, i would reconsider all such designs

>>64424159
Don’t have a better pic of the breech cap off the gun…

>>64424169
I definitely get that. Idk, in hand it feels like an extremely sturdy system, and for what it’s worth they also sold it from the factory in a 30-06 version which has a max pressure about 9000 psi higher than 444 marlin (if your going by cip). There’s some innate danger in everything we do, I feel like I’ve verified enough of the details to avoid the avoidable bits, and the rest is dumb luck that could happen with anything.

Back on revolvers though, in January of February if I’m lucky I’m hoping to add a s/w 57 to the collection.. if it doesn’t sell from the hole in the wall store it’s in before then..

I kinda want to get a Chiappa Rhino in stainless steel. What's the desirable length?

>>64379489
I've got 40 of them left, should have cleaned out my lgs when they still had some, I know some corona fag who knows nothing about guns probably grabbed them.

>>64420164
Should've done more research before you bought. There's a blued one too that people were going gaga over last year. I snagged my stainless one for about $650 and I hear the blued one is getting a rerelease. Gun.deals has both for about $700. Maybe its worth selling yours and getting the Lipseys one?

>>64423402
I'd recommend some sort of medium sized .357 mag. A Ruger GP100 or Security 6, S&W Model 19/66/586/686, or a Colt Trooper or Python (if you want to spend over a grand). 4 inch barrels are pretty kino, but 6 is nice for longer range target shooting or handgun hunting.

My LGS has an old Smith and Wesson snubby that some boomer Fitz Special'd. Its really cheap because of the bubbaing but otherwise in good condition, except for the cylinder release button that also seems trimmed down and probably needs to be replaced with a more usable one.

I like the bobbed hammer but the trigger guard makes me nervous. My gunsmith can un-Fitz the trigger guard but it will probably cost as much as the revolver itself. Should I go for it or just hunt around for another snubby and have the hammer bobbed? I like having a pre bubbaed gun because I can bubba it futher (mill the top strap for better sights) without feeling too bad about it

>>64425676
Could be. I just found it at the gun store and had wanted one for a while, so I just bought it.

>>64377953
Cute dog

is there any real reason to go above .44magnum besides for beeger boolet and more boom? will .44magnum not kill a grizzly reliably while .454/.460/.500 will?

>>64432745
I have no practical experience with bears, but I do have a lot of experience with all those calibers. The difference between 44 mag and hot 454 and up is pretty big, by the time you get to 460 it’s a completely different ball game. 500 as well. I suspect if you had a big enough bear then 44 mag might not stop it fast enough…. But again, I don’t have experience with bears…. From a few of the bear attack stories I’ve read (mostly from Alaska) if your somehow charged by a giant bear it’s going to move insanely fast and I bet you’d want whatever does the absolute most amount of damage fastest.

Nice big iron, 45-70? Or if not what?

Took my new 640 to the range for the first time. Shooting .38 is real comfy because of the weight of the gun. I shot some .357 critical duty and cut my hand pretty good, but it was easy to control and keep on target, so that’s what I’m going to use as my carry ammo at least until I get some pissin’ hot buffalo bore loads.

.357 from a fun this small is hilarious loud. It’s truly an experience. The off the shelf defensive .357 loads have roughly 85% more energy than .38+p from an 1.875” snub nose. If you can deal with carrying the extra weight then it’s hard to pass on those numbers.

ya .45-70

massive huge penis W move imo

Sounds like you had fun. Maybe try a grip that wraps around the back? Look into RevolGrips, Recoil Riders or the high horn VZ grips.

>>64435558
I think you’re right. Thanks for the recommendations. I was looking at the Houge bantam because they’re still rubber and also boot grips, but I don’t know how wide they are. I like that the VZ’s are nice and wide. Plus they look cool which is the most important thing.

Even though the gun cut me, it’s not like it hurt or wasn’t pleasant to shoot, just more annoying than anything. Definitely won’t stop me from carrying.357, but I don’t want to get blood on my new gun every time I train with it.

>>64403535
I bought a pair. They're a meme at best. I wouldn't bother. Even with 2-3 months of practicing they we're very reliable.

>>64435425
what's the optic? I've been looking for something nice to put on a Ruger Super Blackhawk in .44.

>>64435953
leupold has some good pistol scopes, I don't know what that one is though

>>64435499
Nice.

>>64435953
I forget what it is exactly but it’s an old japanese 2x that I got for $50 though i wanted it because the finish matches the gun so well. modern silver pistol scopes seem to always have a matte finish instead of reflective

>>64435953
its a japanese simmons scope now that i got a closer look at it because i wanted to show off my bandolier holster

Meanwhile, in a nearby 'hood...

i hate how few options there are for kydex aiwb revolver holsters. especially non-snubs

No gunz fag reporting.
Wanna protect my family, but I am very poor with no time either. I'm thinking a38 spec should do it??? Just moved out of a liberal state

>>64437607
.38sp revolvers are pointless when .357 can chamber it

>>64437682
38spl revolvers are going to be lighter.

>>64377218
But he would have over five choices of commonly used rounds to choose from in that case?

>>64437607
I carry a five shot jframe as my primary ccw. 38 will kill fine. People will say it's weak and then fail to place five shots in a single ring when firing. In general the best gun for defense is the one you will bring and that's what makes the jframe top notch. It's tiny, it's light, and you don't have to worry about glockleg

>>64437593
Look at g-code, ANR designs and garrett holsters silent thunder

>>64437584
my nigger my nigger

>>64437593
revolvers belong in leather shoulder holsters

>>64437138
You are an Anon of impeccable taste. May I also get the sauce on that Holster?

>>64438779
I think triple k makes them

>>64437607
A reliable semi-auto 9mm will be both cheaper and less expensive to practice with than a .38.

>>64437607
Get a ruger lcr in .38

You are more likely to shoot your cock off with strikerslop like glocks and sigs than you are to need more than five rounds for self defense. If you need more than 5, you need 30+ of liberty civil defense, a full sized handgun, and ideally a rifle with AP ammo, because it’s a warzone.

I want to try this thing when it gets released a few weeks from now. Better than the pocket carry I've been doing.

You mean unreliable anon? Because your post contradicts itself but I just want to better understand what you mean.

>Unreliable*
My bad. Yeah. That was a typo. I mean they suck ass.

>>64403535
Doesn’t work with my revolver.

Detective Special: best snubby ever made.

Load with Buffalo Bore +P 158-grain semi wadcutters, practice with standard pressure

Unbeatable EDC

>>64435541

Shrouded ejector rods look so bad, in my opinion. Just awful.

I also think big wraparound grips are unaesthetic on smaller revolvers.

Much better carry than P365 or equivalent modern tupperware faggotry

The French Modele 1892, an excellent revolver of the first world war. The cylinder swings out to the right, not the left.
Simply gorgeous.
The only problem is it's chambered in 8mm. A bit underpowered, but you can hand-load it up to 200 ft-lbs, so it's at least a more powerful round than a .32

>>64439295
What is it, anon?

>>64439652
Harry's holsters posted it earlier today. It's an iwb speedloader carrier he said is being released in a few weeks.

does your revolver even have a pokey thing
