I tried and tried, because I thought that everyone should have one for some reason, but I have decided that I will never be able to buy an autoloader and not feel like I wasted money. There are nice (at least well made) ones, but I love the wheel gun and see no reason to go any other way. They feel right, they shoot right, and they almost always look right (except for that awful S&W "TR" revolver), and there will always be a revolver for pretty much any job out there.
I think nothing looks better than a single action revolver, including the BP ones. I had always said that I thought the DA revolver was ugly, but when I pulled the trigger on a Colt Python, I changed my mind immediately and almost apologized to it in the gun store. You really can't knock it 'til you try it.
When I buy my first handgun this February, it will be chambered in .45 colt, and I don't think I'll ever look back... except maybe at a Ruger MkII with a bull barrel, but thats it
.
By the way, I am 21 and because of me, all of my friends are now revolver fans, too.
