Revolvers are just COOL, man!
I know the Mini NAA revolvers 2 or 1 inch barrels are pretty much point blank. I have shot one of those .22 LR into a wood horse construction signal sign? Anyway the bullet went through both sides. Pretty nasty and alot better than mace and more concealable.I had two NAA minis in 22lr. Cute, but not accurate beyond about 5ft. Put those silly and poorly designed LaserLyte's on top of them, then figured out the barrels are too short to get any accuracy out of them, so traded them in and got 85% of my purchase price back at the LGS I originally bought them from. They were sold again out of the case the very next day. They're cute and popular for CC as a 'get off me' gun, but you can buy better weapons for the same money. JMHO
The recoil must be alot for the LCR .357. Less on the heavier SP-101. Even shooting the SP-101 in .357 seems like less recoil than the LCR +P .38.I've been accumulating autos for about a year - a Kimber, Glock, and a Springer XDm (also had and sold an LCP) Couldn't get enough of the bottom feeders. Then last month, I just bought a worn/slightly used S&W 64. That rekindled my love for the .38 Spl. Now I'm looking at getting a 642 or a 638 and I already own a 3" SP101 in the .38 and the LCR in a .357. I blame the 642 club thread for giving me the itch for another sub.
I would like to get the SP101 in the .22 as well, but those things aren't cheap and I'm quite happy with my Single Six. Something about the old wheel gun that makes my heart go pitter patter...kind of like my Henry Golden Boy .22 lr.
Anyhow, I ALWAYS peek in the Revolver board. You all are a great source of info and entertainment. THANKS!
I seem to be spending more and more time on the Revolver board...
I've always heard the real measure of a man's intelligence is how much he agrees with you
You're just getting old...
Perhaps you should shoot your auto S/A.I wonder if I shoot my revolvers better because I shoot them more often, or if I shoot them more often because I shoot them better.
For some reason the double action trigger pull on a DA/SA gun like the Smith 3rd gen pistols seems odd, but on a revolver I'm fine. I enjoy my 1911 quite a bit too, but as time goes by there really isn't much you can't do with a 357 or 44 Mag revolver (and a reloading setup!)
