    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...

    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...

    Are 44 Revolvers Dying?

    I'm probably missing some, but here goes.... Model 1854 by S&W released this year in 2024. Marlin Model 1894 reintroduced in 2023. Bond Arms Cyclops released in 2023. New model Colt Anaconda re-released 2021. Taurus Ranging Hunter released 2019. S&W Model 69 Combat Magnum introduced 2014.

    Are 44 Revolvers Dying?

    What are you basing this on? Feelings or actual data? What are the numbers from the past to the present day? Are there more revolver offerings today vs. 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 years ago or not? This is regurgitate ad nauseam, but I'm not sure how an item that has increased in sales expotentially...

    Oh-oh….S&W 629 Deluxe Light Primer Strikes!!

    I would think that it has to take hundreds of time at the very least before slamming the cylinder shut would cause damage. Even Jerry Miculek has mentioned as much on several occasions. I doubt that's what caused the issue, but anything is possible

    Are 44 Revolvers Dying?

    Care to share a link? With having to have a proper grip and a slide that isn't impeded in any way with semiautos, I'm curious to see I what way revolvers failed and semiautos did better. Or am I not understanding correctly and the guy in the video personally had issues drawing and getting shots...

    Are 44 Revolvers Dying?

    I always favorite revolvers for that purpose. I've seen a lot of reports of humans being attacked by surprise. I'd rather a revolver vs a semiauto if I am injured being attacked. 6 rounds of 44mag will stop an attack and kill a "critter." If critters start attacking humans in packs like...

    Are 44 Revolvers Dying?

    Yup.. If you're looking at it from the standpoint of self-defense EDC handguns against humans, then yes, 44mag is declining. If you look at it from the standpoint of what outdoorsman carry and would own, 9mm and 45acp is all but dead. They're different tools that exist for different purposes...

    Pondering a Taurus 692

    Yup... I'm hoping if the next election goes well, we'll have another 2016-2017 slump in ammo and gun prices.🤞

    Pondering a Taurus 692

    Detailed pictures and range report please when you get around to it. I am still weary of Tauruses QC, but these are right up my alley in 2.5" or 3". I'm leaning 2.5. If you don't mind me asking, how much it set you back?

    ...backpacking, and woods caliber. An S&W model 69 or 627 or a Red Redhawk would be at the top of my list over a 45acp or even a 357mag for the latter* applications. The problem is that some (not you @ UnckeED) are comparing 44mag to common self-defense handgun and ammo sales and usage. It's...

    Man killed attempting to stop a carjacking

    That's good to know. I never would have thought.
