I've probably owned more guns than most and less than some; and I still like revolvers more than semis. There are times, though, that I like semi autos more than the revolvers and there's a lot to be said for the .45 Auto especially. Recoil's easy on the wrist and that big ol' round makes nice holes in the target.
Right now, my semi-auto of choice is the 9mm Sig P-226. The ammo's cheap and relatively plentiful. I can also reload for it and never, ever, throw any of my centerfire brass away after a shootin' session.
For some weird reason, I only own two revolvers (living in an Rv van has a lot to do with it), one's a two-and-a-half-inch S&W 686+. That lil' smacker spits 158 grainers with such accuracy, I wonder how good I'd be with it if I was still 23 and didn't need glasses... the other one is as old school as it gets, a 6"Colt Trooper MkIII with walnut Colt target stocks and so accurate it brings joy to me whenever I'm at the range. "Trooper" is fed a steady diet of hand loaded lead semi wadcutters or hollow base wadcutters using mild target loads of Bullseye powder.
Lately, I've had this irresistible urge to get me a new revolver, a 4 inch Smith in .357 persuasion with fixed sights and no full underlug. Saw a stainless K-Frame in a pawn shop last week, all holster worn and scratched, and thought, "hmmm...that might be the perfect all 'round oldschool gun..." I still might get it as a project gun for shooting fun and as a BUG gun in the rig; Maybe buff it up into a shiny pimp gun just for fun, or alternately, have S&W refinish and slick up the action.
But there I go fantasizing again, just can't help it with revolvers and god help me, tomorrow's payday!
