Why do many of us love single action revolvers?
They are a design that should be obsolete. They are slow to load and unload. They are not the fastest guns to rapid-fire. Yet, they remain popular.
Most automobiles now come equiped with power windows and automatic transmissions. Those are features that make driving a bit easier. I don't think many drivers looking for a new car will go out of their way to get one with with manual windows because they have an old-fashioned feel to them. I doubt if any television comes without a remote any more. Again, a modern feature for convience.
Yet, with all the semi-auto pistols and double action revolvers on the market, some go out of their way to purchase songle action revolvers.
Again, why? Any theories?
I think one reason I like them is because I grew up in the era of westerns dominating television. I watched shows like Bonanza, the Virginian, Rawhide, and so on. I loved the six guns that the characters were using. My parents even bought me a set of cap-firing single action revolvers for one of my birthdays. When I got a bit older, I saved up and bought a C02 powered single action revolver. It was one of the lamest guns I ever owned. But I loved that thing.
