We are running out of sources of good quality info on this stuff. In ten years when another generation begins looking at revolvers, what will they have as reference material? Highlight reels of gel tests...
@@PrimaryAndSecondary also I would love to hear similar episode as 357 ModCast going over 44 Special / Mag and 45 Colt big bore guns and ammo, use etc. both in snub but 4" and up also :)
Excellent video Thank you for part 1 & 2 As a revolver obsessed EDC- this series was educational- enjoyable The speakers credibility and diversity of revolver experiences was perfect for PLEASE CONSIDER CONTINUING THIS SERIES
I'm old enough to have originally been issued a model 15 as my duty weapon. Carried a 49 off duty. Maybe I'm just nostalgic, but I'm falling back in love with revolvers. Kids today just don't appreciate their utility and beauty.
Thry can very accurate...I mean revolvers have that fixed barrel... even the single action ones typically. In a magnum caliber revolvers are a great economic option for protection from dangerous game
In case nobody mentions it, DB's recommendation of Duluth 5-pocket Fire Hose pants has been great. Vertically accessed pockets like 10" deep, along with a gussetted crotch and some spandex in the weave. Black, grey, tan, and navy and fits with any tucked in button shirt in a business-y setting
Just an anecdote; I used to pocket carry an M&P Shield. At one point, life got hectic and it was several months between cleanings. When I finally got around to it, I found TWO dust bunnies in the magazine, and one between the slide and frame. How did they get there? No clue. That pocket carries nothing but my gun. Lesson learned. Now, I regularly pocket carry a 642. In between maintenance days, it gets dusty. On my last range day, which coincided with changing out my ammo, I fired five shots. The first shot produced a cloud of dust. Unsettling but, it fired all five rounds without a hitch. More frequent maintenance is on the schedule.
I just wish .38 wasn't so expensive, even in bulk. That's why (with advice from Rhett, DB, and Haggard) I'm so into rimfire revolvers, so I can actually afford to practice with them. Speaking of which, I am again putting it out there that as soon as a 942 TORO comes out I will buy it on the spot, along with the Phlster City Special to hold it.
Despite the increasing availability of modular grip frames and replaceable backstraps with even the addition of swappable side grip panels having mix & match palm swells, the grip frame of an autoloader will always remain essentially box shaped out of necessity because it has to accommodate a box magazine. Revolvers don't have that restriction.
The Taurus 856 series is absolutely wonderful, I own a 856UL 2inch barrel ..put a set of wooden grips on it from Taurus… just a great shooting pistol .. loaded with GA 148gr LWC .. a definite game changer.. planning on picking up a 3inch steel frame model in the future BTW .. Rossi 6 shot 9mm would be fantastic… !!!
The old Uncle Mike's hard synthetic boot grips were the best grip ever for a J-frame LIke all good things they are no longer made Second were the old Barami Hip Grip with the addition of a Tyler T-grip and eliminated the need for a holster in most cases.
I am surprised that no one mentioned keeping a Philster City Special, using a DCC clip mounted on a pair of pants, with all the other stuff in the pockets hanging on a hook, works great with my aluminum framed J frame. Also i am now wondering what I don't know is wrong with the DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster I use, it is between the Uncle Mikes and several of the others mentioned in cost and performance.
