The gun is in decent shape with the finish showing some wear, but the bore is pristine having only ever fired blanks.

@evanf1443 Год назад

Ballistically a 4 inch barrel is a good choice IMO. I’ve heard that .357 is optimized at 6 inches but 4 inches is easier to carry and is where .357 really starts to pull away from other calibers like 9mm, so it makes for a good middle ground for barrel length for that caliber.

Revolvers have some pretty unique advantages if you think about it. They can be fired from inside a pocket, bag, etc without causing malfunctions, won't drop casings unless you empty the cylinder, are braindead easy to use in a high stress scenario, not to mention certain Rugers and Tauruses come in 9mm and are super lightweight. Outside of lacking capacity and reload time without a speed loader, I honestly recommend revolvers to any beginner or someone who wants something simple.

@edcox8007 Год назад

The other point about a revolver is you can press the barrel into the target if they are that close and it will fire and not go out of battery. An autoloader will go out of battery if you press it into the target.

@googlechicken Год назад

Also you can fire it from inside a jacket pocket in a pinch

@@Scorch1028 keepe in mind alot of self defense revolvers are becoming polymer frame these days. And as someone who prefers revolvers they are way too snappy. +P rounds out of a Ruger LCR is a bit...much. Even 9mm in polymer revolvers is snappy. You dont think of 9mm as a snappy round..but it was designed for a semi auto , typically blow back where the intense pressures are gonna be suffiecient to rack the slide and keep you going. Throw that into a revolver with all that energy going back into your wrist in a polymer frame that weighs almost under a pound and.. ow. Speaking from experience.

Everyone forgets with a pistol you gotta decide if you want to carry one in the chamber with the safety on or one not in the chamber with the safety off. With a revolver, the heavy double action trigger pull is your safety. If I had to reach in my pocket or coat or holster and pull out a firearm and shoot it in a hasty moment, I would rather get the first shot off first by just worrying about a heavy trigger pull instead of safetys and racking slides.

@GmanGSW Год назад

I agree, as well. I used to carry a revolver, primarily, till a self defense incident occurred. No, I never had to fire, only had to brandish, and caught "the bad guys" (which they really were) with their weapons in their belts. I was better with speed loaders at the time, but was concerned if I couldn't convince them to simply leave. I was able to get across to the "leader" that should this get into a "shoot out," they may hit me, but he'd be dead. They left and the LEOs showed about 3-5 minutes after they left. All caught in film, with witnesses. I began carrying semi autos after that. If you practice reloads "under pressure," timed, you can be fast, but I'm more happy with semi autos, for self defense and reloading.

@Ensign_Cthulhu Год назад

There are very good reasons why the reciprocating magazine-fed self-loader has taken over as the ideal combat pistol (in whatever context of engaging multiple assailants you would like to call combat). That being said, a bullet from a revolver will still shoot you just as dead and the revolver's function is insensitive to light practice loads (assuming there's enough powder to get the bullet out of the barrel).

@bobjohnson1633 Год назад

Autos have taken over because stupid people think they need infinity bullets in case al quaida attacks with full auto AKs and you have to stop 20 guys by yourself with a handgun and 2 reloads. Sorry, a 5 shot 38 is one of the easiest to carry, always effective, and easy to shoot at contact distances. You literally benefit in no way in a real situation.

@RWZiggy Год назад

yet because an autoloader has to recoil off of hand resistance to cycle, if one "limp wrists" semiauto gun, maybe because of injury or fatigue, the gun can jam. Revolvers don't have that problem, no stovepiping. And if a round is defective and doesn't fire, the revolver just spins to the next round while the semiauto is going to need some TLC during which your attacker might kill you. So as rhetorical question, would a perp be better off after hit from a typical defense round or a .357 mag hollow point from my Python?

@@spencerhauck690 yes you do. No pistol reaches the required velocity that is needed for the permanent wound cavity to be greater than just the path left by the projectile. They are hole punches and relatively small at that .

@spencerhauck690 Год назад

@@Dcm193 what about the 500 s and w magnum that can deliver more than 2000 ft pounds of energy out the barrel. Look it up if you don't believe me. If you ask me that'll drop a grizzly dead in its tracks.

@Dcm193 Год назад

@@spencerhauck690 look at 44 magnum and 5.56 nato. Roughly the same energy. Then look at gel test meat test and hunting videos and see how the 5.56 will cut larger permanent wound cavities. Energy is important but not as important and bullet construction and velocity. A 168 grain eldm will produce a larger permanent wound cavity at 2200 FPS than a 180 grain core lokt will at 2600 FPS. Even thought the core lokt has more energy it will preform less than desirable. 500 magnum is really just a rifle in revolver form . It is very powerful but it will also recoil horribly and how expensive it is most won’t train with it.

I think the only self defense scenario where the upgrade in power trumps the downgrades in concealment (via barrel length) and capacity is specifically against large predatory animals

@smallborewhore3074 Год назад

I carry a 6 shot .32 mag snubby quite often when deep concealment is necessary and never feel unarmed. But I often carry a cz p10c when I can get away with it. I think each most any type of gun has its place no matter what make or style

I know an older man who can dot shit out to 75 yards with a smith 686. He’s shaky as hell until he’s squeezing a trigger. Never doubt a man with a wheel gun.

@silasmcgee5593 Год назад

My issue with the revolver vs semi auto debate is that a revolver seldom has any reliability issues, whereas a semi auto will have more reliability issues like failure to feed/eject/etc. HOWEVER in my experience, when a semi auto fails, it is 9/10 times a quick fix, but a revolver, its a 9/10 chance that it needs a trip to the gunsmith. I can clear a malfunction in a glock, but cant clear a slipped pall or broken mainspring in a revolver on the fly. This is a great series! Keep it up! Do one on 1911s!

@bobjohnson1633 Год назад

Your Glock will malfunction 100* more. Your revolver malfunction will be 10x worse. How many shootings do you get in?

@ranchodeluxe1 Год назад

When you watch actual footage of people in deadly force incidents, you see the failure rate of semi auto pistols. I went back to a revolver because I kept finding the magazine release tripped on any of my three compact 9mm. I crawl around on the floor at work a lot No mag button to trip, leaving you with a low powered single shot

@nathanerbaugh9899 10 месяцев назад

Revolvers have better Power, Accuracy, Reliability than a automatic in almost every case. but aside from that no Feed ramp, no Magazine to Fail, they cannot be pushed out of battery when pressed against the body, you cannot fail to disengage the safety, you cannot cause a malfunction by limp wristing it, you cannot get one bad round that forces you to stop and clear the weapon before the remaining rounds can be fired, The ammo selections are reversible within 38,357 and 44 special and Magnum. The Revolver is a Platform that almost completely eliminates User error and mechanical failure but simultaneously promotes Proficiency. I want something that I know will do what I need it to do exactly when I need it to do it without issue. If I fail to defend myself it will not be because my carry failed to do what I needed it to do in a ugly situation. I know IT will work and I know I will work. that is in its essence the key to successful self defense. if either of those two elements are missing, that is how people don't make it home. to assume you won't have to use your carry with someone Pressing against you or that the situation will facilitate a complete prevention of limb wrist or a guarentee that you are going to be in a physical position to Clear a malfunction is precarious as far as I'm concerned. and even that is giving the benefit of the doubt that you are in fact carrying with one in the Chamber (as you should) that you don't have a Manual safety to disengage and that you are carrying ammo that you know feeds reliability. I will always own a Semi automatic but I will always Trust my life to a Revolver.

I am old school. I much rather “hide the evidence” after shooting rounds. I can’t stand those shells flying all over the place after being fired. I like those speed loaders when I need to put in rounds. Different strokes for different folks.

@ryanthorne5432 Год назад

Revovers are as useful now as they ever have been.

@TameImpala521 Год назад

I disagree, they were more useful 100-120 years ago when most semi autos were relatively unreliable and underpowered. Glock 20 alone has basically made 357 and 44 magnums obsolete in my opinion. No hate for revolvers though honestly, they are still useful, just no longer the best tools for the job. That’s just how I feel about it

@Master_Yoda1990 Год назад

If I'm in a shoot out, I don't want only 6 shots or take longer to reload when seconds count. I'll have a revolver as a back up.

@Isaiah-ft5nx Год назад

.357 has been identified by the FBI as being the number one round that is likely to eliminate a threat with a single shot. You don’t need 15+1 9mm if you can get 1 .357 on target.

@VAPrepper757 Год назад

Love revolvers actually looking at a .357 mag as a backup carry - shoulder holster with speed loader pouches. Should be good concealed in cold weather months under coat and/or long sleeve button up shirt. Just my mindset I won't have 2 semi auto malfunctions with the revolver as the 2nd gun! or easy for wife to use if active shooter gun fight breaks out and both of us need to shoot back in defense!

@brianclassen5221 Год назад

Elmer Keith! With mag restrictions being threatened get a couple of revolvers. Faster to change guns than reload. Dress like Clint Eastwood in Unforgiven and carry multiples. LOL.🤙

@moonza2201 Год назад

One thing that wasn't discussed is that revolvers won't jam with the ladies. My daughter was shooting her 45 GAP and she was getting at least one jam per magazine. I'd shoot the gun and no jams at all. Turns out she wasn't holding the gun firm enough so that the recoil could reliably feed the next round. She had much better results with the revolver.
