What if the only handguns you could own are revolvers?

[vanilla_gorilla]

I'd either be carrying a 5 inch 27


...or a 4 inch 28


I'm confortable enough in the use of these weapons that I wouldn't have a problem with carrying them. I'd just be carrying multiple speedloaders as well.

 

[highfive]

the same one that goes out with me everyday, my taurus 627 4"

 

[loose cannon]

smith prelock 625 mountaingun in .45lc as well as a 642 for pocket/ccw.

plenty of loaders for the 625 and strips for the 642.

 

[TimboKhan]

my ccw gun is a revolver, specifically a Taurus 605.

If you remove politics from the argument, it wouldn't bother me all that much if I couldn't have anything but an revo. The only autos I would really miss would be my MkII's, to be honest. The rest of my autos could all be replaced pretty easily by revolvers.

 

[Geronimo45]

My 4" Model 65 and one of the stainless bodyguard models in .38 or .357. Also like to pick up a few .22 revolvers.
Lots of options in the revolver category.

 

[Cosmoline]

I banned semis once and for all a while ago. They bite me too often, and their triggers are nasty. Instead I have two of the finest carry handguns ever made, a Colt Detective Special (second gen) and a Ruger Speed Six. Plus a big .44 Bisley-Vaquero. Bottom feeders need not apply!

 

[4thPointOfContact]

If we're going to indulge in a 'revolver's only scenario', then I'm going to be Indulgent.

 

[woad_yurt]

Probably a S&W .357 of some sort w/a 4" minumum barrel and an H&R DA convertible (.22LR & .22WMR.) I really like .22 convertible revolvers and the only DA ones I've seen available have been H&Rs.

 

[Green Lantern]

Didn't see any limit on capacity - a 7 or 8 shot .357 for primary would be sweet, with a snubbie BUG maybe?

 

[h-word]

I would tape a cylinder to the bottom of my XD Anti's wouldn't know the difference.

 

[10-Ring]

I'd start gobbling up older Colts & Smiths -- 2" Python & a 6" S&W mod 29 would be cool

 

[Sun195]

Probably go with what I already have:

1) S&W 686 4" for home
2) SYW 60 3" for the away

I'd need to get some sort of .22 for plinking as my current .22 pistol is semi-auto. Probably get a S&W - maybe a 317 3".

Of course, since I'm already shopping, I'd also need a S&W 629 5" to round-out the stable.

 

[CWL]

Mateba .357 magnum w/4" barrel.

That'll satisfy my need for an "automatic".

I already have a revolver, my SW 586 w/6" barrel and old-school bluing.

 

[Tse Gee La]

I would get the new S&W Thunder Ranch 325 for home defense and duty use and a J-frame for off duty.

 

[mnrivrat]

I have owned a bunch of both over the years but for some reason today I own three handguns and they just happen to be all revolvers - so not a problem for me.

One in .22LR , One in .32 H&R mag., and one in .44 Mag.

covers all my needs .

 

[jad0110]

Not a problem for me, as I own mostly revolvers.

But it would still be a sad day to have our choices limited in such a way. BTW, I fear that if semi auto handguns ever get banned, wheel guns would be banned right along with them.

 

[Mntneer35745]

Wow. No autos, eh?

After I got over the separation anxiety of losing my beloved 9mms, I would likely be equally happy with

3" .357 Magnum (GP100 flavor please)
4" .357 Magnum (either a S&W 27/28 or a GP100)
6" .357 Magnum (GP100 again)

The .357 Magnum *was* after all my first real handgun.

Where I live, there ain't nothin' that can't be accomplished with one of the above beautiful pistols. I figure giving up my 9mms ought to get me at least two new pistolas.

Now....who pays for ammo in this scenario of yours??

Cheers!

[Lucky Strike]

I currently have a GP100 4" for home defense and a single six for plinking...was already going to get a Redhawk .44mag later this year.

In this scenario the only thing that would change would be buying a Ruger SP101 (to replace my now illegal XD9subcompact) for CCW to complete the Ruger revolver grandslam.

 

[CountGlockula]

I'd have 10 revolvers that consists of Rugers and S&Ws. All in .38spl/.357Mag.

60 rounds of action, since I can't have any magazines.

 

[byf43]

StrawHat. . .
That S&W mdl 25 is GORGEOUS!!!!!

Thanks alot. Now I've got drool all over my shirt.
Honestly, I LIKE IT!!!!!!
Is that a 4" or 3-1/2" barrel???

I can see a spot in my gunsafe where one of those would rest, nicely.


For me, if I were only allowed revolvers -

My S&W mdl 66 w/2-1/2" bbl
My S&W mdl 19-4 w/4" bbl
I have to find a S&W mdl 25 like StrawHat's
Will have to get a S&W mdl 625 (5" barrel, I think.)

My DW 44VH-8 w/VH-4 assembly.

 

[easyg]

Ruger GP100 4".

 

[22-rimfire]

Oh, another fantasy thread! For my part I don't want any handgun elimintated from civilian access. I mostly have revolvers, but I enjoy shooting the autos too.

 

[CaptMac]

I would buy more speed loaders

I would buy more speed loaders

 

[bhp9mm]

442 or 642 for carry and 686 for home

 

[Glockman17366]

Why ask such a stupid question?
