Your very first stop on any trip to THR is to see what's new in the Revolver Forum (and especially the 642 Club all bias aside, of course)
You might be a wheelgunner if...

...You see a cover of Combat Handguns about the latest-and-greatest hi-cap tacticool semi, and your lips curl into an instinctive sneer.

You
work for hours getting rid of raccoon eyes from your stainless.
Good one fiVe.
And the M&P 340 Thread right after the 642.

If you know what P&R, RR, WO, TH, TT means. Also the thing about suggesting a Mod 10 for a new gun owner. I don't know how many times I've done that! Or if you think a law enforcement agency would be well armed with a Mod10 and 2 speed loaders full of 158gr +P Hps.

...ever used a Model 36, Colt Detective Special, and H&R "22 Special" to assist a kid in leaning multiplication and division tables of five, six and seven.
"Okay, so this H&R holds seven ctgs, and there is 50 ctgs in this box of .22's correct?"
Yeah
"So how many times can you reload this gun and will you have any ctgs left over and if so, how many?"
This math stuff totally sucks, but you said this is the last one and then we get to go shoot.
<curled lip, focus, scribble, scrawl>
Seven will go into 50, seven times with one left over.
That means seven times seven is 49 with a remainder of one.
So...I can load seven times and shoot seven times and have one stupid ctg left over.
Lets go shoot!
"Sweetie, mom can shoot her Model 36 ten times and not have any remainders from a box of ctgs , and if she shoots the Detective Special..."
MoOM! I really don't want to hear anymore about math- got it!
Math is not my strong point.
In my defense, besides the kid being a real sweetie, and her mom is such a neat lady
You might just be a male wheelgunner...
...if you have ever hauled stuff in your truck to shoot a single mom's new to her Colt Detective special.

.......when your kids draw army man stick figures holding revolvers (crudely drawn, but ones a dad would recognize) and not automatics.
that's when you know you have done something right.

...A "quick reload" means pulling out a second revolver. 
...The novels Shane and Hondo hold an honored place in your home library.
...You "Dutch load" your nightstand revolver depending on the current temperature and humidity in your house.

...It ticks you off when Dirty Harry Callahan uses a .44 Automag in one movie.
...When the James Coburn character in "The Magnificent Seven" shoots a Mexican bandido off a horse at 200 yards with his Peacemaker (he was aiming for the horse), you don't think it was THAT great a shot.

Amen brother. Amen!
After finding 9 posts that applied to me, I stopped counting.
The top shelf of my ammo cabinet holds one new and one a well-dug-into 1.000-round pack of .22 LR,
The second a few dozen or so boxes of 9x19 and .45 ACP, some with a few rounds missing.
There must be a couple of .380 ACP & .32 ACP in there (because I own guns in those calibers) & I'm pretty sure I still have a dozen rounds of 25 ACP somewhere.
The remaining shelves are filled with .45 Colt & .44 Spl's relaods (about 700 of each), about 1.000 .357 Mag's & about 3-5.000 assorted .38 spl's
Do I qualify ?

Starting before grade school,
I was taught this rhyme:
J, K, L, N, A, B, G,
this is what mat-ters to me.
Of course, my 3rd grade teacher packed a K frame.
(Well, maybe, maybe not. But her demeanor suggested that she did.)

- When you wonder why folks shoot something that rudely tosses it's empties on the ground...
- When someone mentions their new 'H-Cap', you think they have a new 627 x8...
- When range friends complain of your lacking in 'capacity', should the Zombies attack, and you remind them of your 625 and ammo can of 105 loaded moonclips...
- When you pull out a 629 and can't decide between .44 Russians, Specials, or Magnums to shoot...
- When you accidently step on a rude-case-tosser's refuse in the gravel at the range - and a tear comes to your eye because you know S&W at some time made a roundgun that could have shot that if you could still reload it...
- When you know Jamie Lee Curtis' best movie was 'Blue Steel'...
And, with apologies to my younger friends:
- If you had the chance to vote for Richard Nixon...

If your absolute favorite Bond movie is Live and Let Die, because he used a Model 29.

Live and let die also had a young Jane Seymour in it (Insert drooling smilie)
You watch "The Lookout" and "The Bank Job" back to back and grin ear to ear seeing a number of stainless steel revolvers on screen.
