    Why Own a Snubby?

    I must have watched *seemingly* millions of live CCTV, cellphones, or bodycam videos of police shootings in my lifetime as well as gang shootings. Based on what I've seen, L.E. and thugs seem to just point and mag dump when the going gets tough. As pointed out in the video the OP posted, having...

    Why Own a Snubby?

    As a civilian, unless we're in a gun fight with a criminal who is trapped and trying to escape, wants something we have really, really, really bad, or who in determined to kill us by any means necessary, a revolver will be more than adequate. I don't forsee a situation where several thugs...

    Carry Options... Is your gun "shootable" under stress?

    Yes, each state has different laws. Then, each city and town may have different codes, police chief, D.A.s, judges, juries, etc. who will all have different ideologies when it comes to how they interpret and apply the law and how they see your actions.

    Carry Options... Is your gun "shootable" under stress?

    I feel like many are putting far too much weight, fear, and emphasis on a very unlikely and unprobable scenario, which is having to take 25 to 50 yard head shots in defense of self and others. The fact is that the overwhelming majority of law-abiding civilians who do not engage in or associate...

    Are 44 Revolvers Dying?

    Losing market shares against what? What's the 44 magnums market? What are 44 magnums revolvers typically used for and sold to, are those people buying less or replacing them with another caliber, and are the sales falling because of it. We both are selling clothing. My market is for tactical...

    Are 44 Revolvers Dying?

    I'd also add that the downward trend in sales were often not specific to 44mag or it becoming less popular. There were typically outside political influences and outside forces that affected overall firearm sales up and down during these time frames..... For example, sales went up in 2016 when...

    Revolver Resurgence-?

    To be fair, the new Colt revolvers are Cobras and King Cobras by advertising name only.

    Appendix carry.

    I'm not man or adventurous enough for AIWB carry. More power to those that are. I'm a small guy with a slinger build. I never had a problem with 3-5 o'clockish carry whether IWB or OWB. I've been 360° around my waist, and appendix carry was the most concerning and uncomfortable. OP, glad you...

    Revolver Resurgence-?

    I think revolvers are a tool that most people carry as backup, in a carry rotation, for outdoorsmen activities, or just shoot at the range only. It's not a lot of people's one and only. I EDC a J-frames as a BUG or a L-frame as a primary on a regular basis, but I EDC a semiauto more and I own...

    Revolver Resurgence-?

    I'd say 95% of gun owners never heard of .32. It seems like a nitch for older revolver owners. Ammo is expensive, there aren't a lot of ammo options available, and most LGS and pawn shops don't carry it. I doubt .32 will ever replace 38spc and 357mag anytime soon, if ever. I don't believe that...

    Are 44 Revolvers Dying?

    Don't forget Beretta and the striker-fired 9mm Nano.

    Are 44 Revolvers Dying?

    Sig wasn't the first modular chassis handgun either and the P365 wasn't the first micro 9mm with 10 rounds.

    Are 44 Revolvers Dying?

    I think the goalpost was moved. Outside of semiauto striker-fired pistols, there hasn't been any "new designs." Semiautos rifles, revolvers, bolt action, lever action, hammer fired pistols, etc are all old designs. Even in the case of Glock, it's a 90% hodgepodge of existing designs that...

    Are 44 Revolvers Dying?

    So using that logic, if the number of sales and the manufacturing rate of semiautos remains as high as it is today and continues to grow every year, but revolvers sales jump to 5x the number of semiautos, will the "semiautos market be in decline?" Using that same logic with regards to caliber...
