You might be a wheelgunner if...

[2ndamd]

...If you practice firing your handgun through a coat pocket.

...if you appreciate the western landscapes.

....if your favorite movie is some sorta western.

...if you could tell that the gun Clint Eastwood used in the first Dirty Harry movie was a .41 magnum and not a .44.

...If you know the difference between a 41 and 44.

...If you know the diameter difference between a .38, .357, and a 9mm.

...If you know the true diameter of a .44.

...If you carry a few screwdrivers in your range bag (not the ones made from oj and vodka).

...if you do not hurt your back while picking up brass

 

[Loyalist Dave]

I have some more...,

IF YOU DIRECTED an action movie...., The hero's semi would jam at a critical time, and his ankle gun would be a five shot .357...

You bought the DVD of Lethal Weapon just because Danny Glover stops the villainous fleeing general by shooting the general's driver with a single round from his revolver....,

You can't understand why Clint Eastwood doesn't make a new Dirty Harry film using the .500 S&W...,, and you've been told to quit sending emails to his production company making that suggestion...,

In The Outlaw Josey Wales you recognized each model of revolver he pulled in the climactic scene, you cringed a bit when he dry-fired them..., and were quite disappointed when the villain was killed with a saber...

[wheelgunslinger]

You get excited when Det. Brisco's revolver makes an appearance in Law and Order.

You get excited when Det. Fontana's revolver makes an appearance in Law and Order.

You have a firsthand opinion on the HKS vs Safariland subject.

You carry a revolver concealed even in cold weather, but maybe a larger one...

 

[Evyl Robot]

You custom fit your CCW by shopping grips...

You intend on saving that Altamont boot grip that came on your 586 because it would be beastly on the 460 snub that you've had your eye on...

You don't own any pistols - not because you don't want to, or don't like them, but because more revolvers keep jumping up the list of "must have's"...

You commonly talk about "mall ninjas"...

You are the person in the theater that disrupts the movie by shouting out model numbers when a revolver appears on screen...

Mom complains about how much money you spend on handguns, because she likes rifles and that's an awful lot to pay for a handgun, and your response is "Yeah Mom, but it's a Smith!"...

 

[jjohnson]

When the moon clips....

When you dump a moon clip on the counter at the gas station when you're looking for exact change. Five extra points if it still has JHP ammo in it.

When you laugh every time you hear someone say "high cap" like you can't imagine anybody needing that many shots.

When "the good old days" mean percussion caps, and "old fashioned" means flintlock.

 

[Phydeaux642]

....you've purchased five S&W wheelguns in the last two weeks.

 

[earplug]

You do searches for another M-14 and they lead to the long gun and your disappointed.

 

[Marvin KNox]

You watched L.A. confidential 5 times - just to drool over the snubies.

 

[FLA2760]

When the bulge in your jeans is a speedloader or two.

 

[JERRY]

....if you prefer guns without built in locks....

....if you ever fired a snubby using your middle finger as the trigger finger....

....if "Dick Special" is not a porn star....

....if your alphabet starts J, K, L, N,....

....you actually know what a "kit gun" is....

....you think of Colt first when somebody says Python, Cobra, Diamondback, Anacanda....

....if you still think the best "Pathfinder" made was in the 70's by Charter Arms not Nissan....

 

[Evyl Robot]

you call any gun other than revolver a jam-omatic

LOL!!! I do NOW!

--Michael

 

[ohioarmedneutrality]

...You talked your wife into naming your kids Colt, Whitney, Remington, Walker, and Lemat.

 

[memphisjim]

what about youve changed your ways because s&w added an isl
my revolver days are over fellas i love the ones i got dont need a lock on a revolver
oh ok for this thread... recently bought a 10mm glock becase they pu locks on smithand wessons

 

[Smith357]

If you can reload a double action revolver faster than you can reload a glock.

If you start with an empty DA revolver and an empty GLOCK with empty magazines, the revolver is much faster to load and reload. I can get off 12-18 rounds from my K38 buy the time the Glock has loaded up one 17 round magazine.

 

[PzGren]

...if you'd rather buy a $ 4,800 Korth than ten more Glocks.

 

[Drgong]

Rather have a Colt Python then a Rolex, and you don't even have to think about it...

 

[Kentucky-roughrider]

if you'd rather buy a $4800 Korth then ten more Glocks
Who won't?

 

[steak-knife]

...if you don't ever have to worry about the slide/barrel coming out of battery when you're pressing your gun into a bad guy's gut.

...when you look at your watch and notice the second hand moving clock-wise, it reminds you that the cylinders on S&W/Rugers rotate the other way, and not like your prized Colt Python.

 

[sm]

...you know which direction the cylinder turns on a Smith & Wesson, but you don't know your own home telephone number.



...you know your butts, and your spouse / significant other don't mind you admiring them and heck sometimes they elbow you to say something like - "hey, check out the round butt on that one!"


Females:

...you went in to get a new bikini and when asked what size you replied " 3" .357".

...daughter of course wants a H&R .22 Break Top...

...you might have a fear of spiders, but you know your Cobras, and Pythons.

 

[Guillermo]

You have an opinion about which direction is the "right" way for the cylinder to spin.

(btw, the answer is "clockwise")

 

[jad0110]

You might be a wheelgunner if ...

..you go home from the range to reload your brass without stopping to visit the chiropractor !

 

[PzGren]

if you'd rather buy a $4800 Korth than ten more Glocks
Who won't?

Well, I guess all the guys won't, that do not have ten Glocks already.

I find nothing wrong with Glocks but a nice blued revolver has not only more character but the longer barreled wheelguns are also very accurate.

 

[kmrcstintn]

...you would rather see ammo loaded in boxes of 18 (designer hollowpoints) and 48 rounds (target stuff) so you didn't have to find a home for the extra 2 rounds that are always leftover :banghead:

...you rather buy a $300 Uberti 1873 Colt SAA clone than a used Glock for the same amount

...rimless brass is considered an abomination (unless you have a dedicated moonclip fed revolver)

...your enitre handgun collection contains cylinders

 

[sm]

...kids have "used" cylinders for holding pencils and crayons on their desks.

...kids want the cylinder removed dirty so they can "stamp" paper to make pretty pictures.

...kids have made some neat targets with a cylinder and ink stamp pad and the idea is to shoot bullets into the charge holes.


...when given boxes of wheel weights that were "in the way, just take them and get them out of this old building" - you wait 3 blocks, then let out a yell as you know a buddy of yours is going to think he just hit the lottery big time!


...hate these new plastic coffee cans as the sound of brass being dumped into them ain't the same .


...change brands of coffee to ones still in tin cans not only because of the sound, also because these tin cans do not break down in sunlight, and the lids stay on better...

 

[Drgong]

As as group you raise over $100 to help a minister looking for a SD wheelgun.
