You might be a wheelgunner/sixgunner if you know that revolvers ARE pistols; Samuel Colt patented revolving pistols, not revolving revolvers.

"So how many times can you reload this gun and will you have any ctgs left over and if so, how many?"

This math stuff totally sucks, but you said this is the last one and then we get to go shoot.

<curled lip, focus, scribble, scrawl>

Seven will go into 50, seven times with one left over.
That means seven times seven is 49 with a remainder of one.
So...I can load seven times and shoot seven times and have one stupid ctg left over.
Lets go shoot!

"Sweetie, mom can shoot her Model 36 ten times and not have any remainders from a box of ctgs , and if she shoots the Detective Special..."

...when at local matches you are ready for people to ask you why you aren't shooting a 'case-tosser' and are prepared to see them exasperated and confused when you explain you prefer wheel guns.
...when you get pissed in other forums where the whole thread turns to revolver bashing and people try and talk you out of buying a revolver.
...when you watch the movie Point Blank over and over again just to see Lee Marvin shooting a bed with a S&W model 27 in slow motion.
...when you have long conversations with your girlfriend about the merits of revolvers.

[abe586]

...when you get pissed to see some 'bro' giving a 90 lb. girl a 454 Casull and laughing when she's hit with the hammer spur.

[Drgong]

You thinking about taking your bubba'ed M44 with scope to a gunshow to see if you can get a inexpensive revolver, or at least a brink of ammo for it.

[MountainBear]

You still consider your primary firearms safeties to be your finger and your brain.

Oh, and I'll donate to arm the preacher.:cool:

[pakmcc]

This is the funniest set that I've every seen. yes, I like my "N" frame smiths, the model 28, the 57 and 58's and my (OK< what ever the numbers are on my .44 special.) These pistols are accurate. and the .41 mag. is exseptial.)I'm going to work up a load just to see how accaurate it can shoot.(all my Smiths have 6" barrels.)

.... you always load only 6 shells in your Browning HP magazines, just to avoid contracting the bad habit of "relying on a seventh shot"

[chriske]

... you can reload a swing-out cylinder two shells at a time while looking through a spotting scope at the results of your previous 6-shot string but can't manage to fill up a high-cap 9mm magazine without breaking fingernails/drawing blood

Good ones, chriske! :)

[jjohnson]

... if you have to contain laughter every time you see a double stack mag double pouch, because nobody outside the military should ever need that much ammo.:eek:

.....if you wife knows that the bulge in your pants is the only reload you'd ever carry, a moon clip in your pocket....:neener:

[Savage Shooter]

you're passwords are your favorite models.

you actually now what is sounds like to hear a can scream for mercy:evil:

you have every "Dirty Harry" made on video AND dvd just incase one breaks.

you've ever heard of dan wesson and/or own one.

you think a new "Dirty Harry" should be made with a 500 smith-wesson or
.460xvr.

[thebucket]

You stop looking at the Para-Ordnance 1911 because a Rossi .38 caught your eye. I did actually do that.

[chriske]

... you think semi-auo pistols are uncool & the proof is they're square...

[steak-knife]

...the leather on your rig/holster and the wood on your grips are of a better quality than the leather on your shoes and the wood on your furniture.

[45Guy]

You seriously consider taking that .22 pistol you have 90% paid off, off of layaway to pay off 40% of a S&W .22 revolver.

I'm considering that right now. Oh the decisions:D

[chriske]

If your gun-cleaning kit also contains dental floss (for the cylinder ratchets).

[corpsmanup!]

If your "tactical" carry consists of a beautifully deep blued .44 and black hogue grips.

[2ndamd]

....If the clicks of a revolver being cocked, sound better that than the best music you have ever heard. Not to mention holding an Old Model SA and feeling and hearing those four "clicks". Just awesome!

[jjohnson]

Sitting there in church, wondering why you're not at the pistol range instead, you ponder why they have yet to canonize Samuel Colt, Elmer Keith, and a bunch of other guys like Skeeter, so we could have proper patron saints of our own: St Sam, St Elmer..... so on.

You might be a wheelgunner if you even "get it" on that one.:D

[4thHorseman]

When you don't understand the terms "limp wrist, double feed, rap and tap, buying a new gun and getting to shoot as many rounds in it and never jamming, double feeding, or getting a new worked on to work reliabily." You don't know what the big deal is about a second strike capibility.
When you heard something once about a "manual safety" but can't remember what it was, and you preplexed when people talk about shells ejecting in you face.:neener:

[JFrame]

...To function-check your newly-purchased revolver, you -- "function check"??? :confused:

[Drgong]

4th Horseman, can I borrow that Sig line?

[Hawk]

Doctor, Lots of good stuff in Kozinki's dissent:

[steak-knife]

...you're absolutely confident that when you're pistol whipping a bad guy with 4" GP100, there's zero probability that it will fly apart, like per se a Glock (don't ask me how I know this).:evil:

BTW. I've seen a training video where the instructor literally smashed a GP100 onto the concrete ground and then RUN it over with an RMP. With the exception of the rear sight breaking off, the GP100 still fired all six rounds and could still be reloaded!

if your a brit revolver lover and realise that sam colt though a genius whose creations you lust after he pinched the revolver from a british patentedweapon and that .455 > .45 in the .45 vs 9mm debate.

And that you want to know is .455 reloadable and is a webley an acceptable bbq gun?

Dam I am debating emigrating when uni is done, I will come for a gap year afterwards. and dutch loadinng?

BTW would anyone teach me to reload if I bought the gubbins needed primer powder etc when I am in the USA?

[42]

if you want a nagant revolver for th form 4

[chriske]

Do you know you're a wheelgunner if you find out that a bunch of young new members of your shooting club, not knowing your name, among themselves refer to you as "Revolverman" ?.... Or does that give you comic book-character status ?

[Drgong]

The range officer when you come in wants to see what revolver you brought today as they know you bring nice revolvers.

[Drgong]

you playing Battlefield 2140 when you find out that one of the sidearms is a revolver. You spend the next 30 mins playing only with a revolver, even though you have rocket launchers and machine guns.

[6_gunner]

If you've carried a cap-n-ball revolver and felt perfectly secure in your ability to defend yourself. :D

[SergeantC]

If the words "spray and pray" mean nothing to you.

[bflobill_69]

...you ever thought about putting a cylinder on your calk gun

=b

Bflobill

[Drgong]

your stuck watching a preview, thinking "This movie will suck" then one of the guys pulls out a revolver in the preview and you go "Himm, might have to netflix that one..."

[jonmerritt]

real wheel gunners don't use moonclips!

[Shawnee]

... you've ever forgotten about that gap by the cylinder and still have the scorch mark to prove it.

:banghead:

[typevx]

you own a dan wesson model 15 (8 inch handcannon) and you call her ol maggie

[Code3GT]

If you just read 6 pages of these and now want a revolver :D

[Gunner4h1r3]

You sit in the armory on duty on your ship and wish that there were no more M9's but revolvers....

If the CO would, I would carry a GP100. Oh that would be nice.
