Revolver Modernity Suggest

[Mark_Mark]

New Colt Python with the 3" barrel.

Mic drop.

lol!!!

wonder if I could fit take in my pocket!

 

[J-Bar]

Big pocket?

 

[bangswitch]

The words "modern" and "revolver" don't belong in the same sentence. I like revolvers too, but let's face it, they're historical artifacts.

Physics hasn't changed since creation. A 50 year old revolver will still launch a bullet just as well as any new plastic-fantastic will.

This is only slightly larger than an LC9, and roughly the same as a SR40c , and punches harder than either one:

thoughts??? so modern and COOL too

feel free to give your honest options

I like the idea of the 3" barreled version. 2 ounces heavier than a 3" barreled S&W 60, but with 6 shots.

GOOD LOOKING!!!

A .357 J-frame isn't pleasant to shoot, but is easy to carry. The SP101 is alot more comfortable, but heavier and slightly less concealable. (Shrugs)

 

[IWAC]

S&W 60 with 3" barrel, and better fitting grips.

I love mine. I took it out for a nice walk last night. Probably do it again here shortly. What I ran into was not having enough real estate for all my fingers/thumbs. It took a lot of ammo to figure out where to put my thumb so the cylinder release didn't dig into it enough that I needed a band aid before I left the range. But that's part of the fun.

As a previous poster wrote though, you'll probably use .38 most of the time. I have found this to be true. Mine is currently loaded with .38 +Ps. Not for recoil or blast but because I haven't convinced myself to smack the extractor hard enough to eject .357 Magnum length cases reliably. When I can, I do drills where I shoot, engage multiple targets, reload, and shoot some more. I do carry a .357 Magnum reload though. Fireballs are awesome!

The Ruger LCR is a good gun. I wouldn’t bother with the .38 special version. The .357 magnum is only an ounce or two heavier (unnoticeable) and offers tremendously better stopping power than the low power .38.

I have the latest Uberti .357 / 9mm SAA clone. but it doesn’t fit in my pocket.

was thinking… here me out. Kimber .357??? what you think?

Cargo pants.

Can't help with a suggestion for a modern revolver.

Currently looking at S&W 49s. I have all sorts of pocket pistols and revolvers, but am convincing myself of the need for an all-steel revolver for pocket carry. Actually, just looking for an excuse to get one of those old humpbacks and don't want an airweight.

I love excuses!

 

[21H40]

You know S&W has some revolvers in 10mm, right?
C’mon! 10mm!!

Just be careful because recoil from 10mm is known to rip arms off at the elbow. Really.

lol … definitely got a punch! got a 10mm SAA clone! very cool gun

 

[Pat Riot]

does it hurt?

It might. One thing for sure is you won’t forget it.

 

[Mosin77]

What you want is a Kimber K6S or a Ruger LCR/LCRx.

I don’t know about the concealable .41….. I don’t think I’ve ever seen but one .41 mag in the flesh, and it was a gorgeous S&W N-frame in the presentation box. Great gun but hardly something to CCW.

Hey Mark_Mark, you already have the MOST modern revolver going, that double barrel abortion that shoots two rounds at once

I do! and it’s kindda well ¥

if it worked 100 years ago… should work today

Do any police departments or militaries still use revolvers? There's your answer.

Sure revolvers work. Just as flintlocks, etc., work. The question really is, are they as efficient and effective as the alternatives?

I will say this in favor of revolvers, though. They will be among the last guns to get banned. So if you want to hedge your bets on a gun confiscation, buy a few revolvers. They'll keep you armed, at least for a time.

6 shots of .357 magnum is all I need! if I need more than that. I’m in trouble.

here what I like about revolvers. don’t jam in coat pocket. And if I was to have a man purse (Seattle, don’t ask) I can shoot from that.

let’s say, I’m fish Downtown Seattle at night. I can have my hands on my gun & shoot thur my coat pocket without anybody batting a eye

always wanted one of those! remember when they were $350!

I paid 350 something for a brand new 638 round xmas time last year iirc. Was on super sale. Check Gilbert’s guns in KY. Has great j frame prices

And if you’re in Seattle you probably want to dress a little nicer, I sort of suspect everyone who says semis are as easy to conceal as a snub are dressing like this
