Revolver Modernity Suggest

[OLDE RETIRED COASTIE]

at some point I may decide those 5 1911s are too hard to work, I have thought to get one of those pietra or uberti 357/38 with a 9 mm cylinder

at one point I had a 1917 smith that used the moon clips with 45 acp rounds, I sure wish I still had that. The moon clips worked a lot faster than any speed loader I ever used, and could even load and unload in the dark

age got nothing to do with making a bad decision about guns, if it did , I would not keep making them lol

I don’t like the hole there either! I need to try their classic lines of Model 29! now that’s modernity

I make bad decisions in firearms all the time, and curiosity always gets me in trouble… So if I have not learned at 44yo, don’t think I ever will. Will probably buy it to say I did and get my man card punched

My thought are as follows…

Awesome! Snub 38s are nice.
Ouch and general obscenities
Ouch and very creative obscenities
They make those?

That covers it right there.
Pocket 38, I have an oddball, a 1980'2 Rossi Interarms 885, stainless 5 shot 38 snub. Works perfectly. I usually only have it loaded with snakeshot as my BUG snake gun, but it is perfectly accurate at normal SD distances with a variety of rounds.

I mean YES… but looking for a every day tool. Something to replace my LC9

Why replace the LC9? I use the EC9s all day every day, great sidearm. But if you want a wheelgun, I can't suggest a good Smith 64, 3 inch as the perfect wheelie...even though everyone will immediately tell you how wrong I am.

The LC9 has been my carry gun forever, so versatile and reliable. Bought a LCP Max to replace it, but naw! it prints like crazy in the tight jean pocket.

I’m looking at the LCR .357 - for the price & surprising built quality. Perfect coat pocket gun!

the 64 is a pretty gun!

They look even better with Herrett grips.

If you decide to go down this road with the open top conversions keep in mind that the Uberti is going to have the short arbor issue that will need to be fixed. Uberti has never bothered with fixing the problem.

Dadgum it, it changed from "can" to "can't" - very fond of my 64-3!

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

I’ve been seeing them for not a whole lot more recently. I think that market is pretty well saturated.

does it hurt?

I have one. Yes, it does. It’s crazy how unpleasant it is.
