Hi everyone. Just curious about how you got interested in revolvers, especially any of you younger guys (seeing as how the younger generations seem to prefer autos).
For clarification, I consider myself part of the younger generations as I am now 30 years old, but I have a love of revolvers and carry one daily. My interest was sparked while majoring in police science at my local community college. The firearms instructors started us out on revolvers just in case we went to a department that still carried them. We were using S&W model 27's (or 19's, can't remember which). I wasn't very good but I loved every second it was in my hand. Since then I've purchased a GP100 and an SP101 and looking forward to my next revolver. I work with a guy that says "if our chief allowed us to carry revolvers I'd switch today." I'm not sure if I'd make the switch for duty use or not, but I'd be really tempted.
Anyway, that's my story, what's yours?
