I love my revolvers…..yes, plural. They Are simple to shoot, clean, and to carry…..when you pull the trigger, they go BANG! If it doesn’t go bang…simply pull the trigger again. There are no jams, clearance drills, or” stovepipes,” or mag slaps. Easy to maintain, load, and shoot. When I’m shooting .357, flame comes out the barrel and the shock wave is felt. Love it.
This is very inaccurate. The very first revolver I used could not shoot pass 3 bullets. Once the wheel would turn to the 3rd shot, it would jam. Besides that, what if you need more bullets for a self defense situation? There is PLENTY of cases where people was shot more than 10 times before dropping. Revolvers are nice range toys. Personally love the 686 plus and gp100 3"
@@jim6532what you are saying is very inaccurate, sounds like you had a bad gun and since you don’t explain if it was used or anything we can just leave it like that, on shots FBI says it’s 3/3. Most situations is 3 shots, 3 seconds
I've been wanting a 686+ for a long time and I finally got one, last month. They're a very practical weapon I have an SP101 that I've had since about 2008, but I shoot the 686 better And I pack the 686 IWB in leather - all day long
I often take a 686+ with a 3-inch barrel to the farm late at night. I always say, "Six for sure, seven for damned sure." It is pretty accurate at longer ranges, too. --Old Guy
Great choice. I have the 3” model and its damn near perfect. Double action pull was pretty heavy until I popped in a Jerry Miculek spring kit. So nice now. If I could only have 1 gun…pistol or rifle, this would be it.
I love my 686+ with the three-inch barrel. It makes a good farm gun for all predators, two-legged or four-legged. I am usually around the tractor barn at night, so I don't need the range of a rifle. I always say, "Six for sure, seven for damned sure!" --Old Guy
My Taurus tracker has 7 shots and 4 inch compensating barrel. The ergos of the grip give you a low bore axis as well. It's really a phenomenal package for the price. It's the easiest shooting 357 I've ever shot.
Maybe I've been lucky. Maybe the complaints are overblown. I own many Taurus guns. Zero issues. Can say the same for Rossi. Their lever is just as solid as my Henry. My only Taurus complaint is finding wood grips in stock. I honestly feel my Rugers are more "solid". But, I'm never going to put 10k or 20k rounds out of any revolver. Only gun I have that will ever hit that number of rounds is my main 1911.
I'd like to see a 10-shot .327 Fed Mag revolver with the old Dan Wesson interchangeable barrel feature (which gives the ability to reduce the barrel-cylinder gap to almost nothing).
@@steammccracken2500 It does. 327 fed is a little less powerful than 357. Faster speeds but a little lighter bullet. You can get over 600 footpounds out of a good jacketed hollowpoint at better than 1500 feet per second. That speed gives it a very flat trajectory and in a revolver, that makes for a very accurate package. It's a top pick for anything up to medium game.
Got an Rock Island 9mm 6 shot Revolver with a 3" barrel. Love everything about it. The moon clips serve as speed loaders. I finally got into 9mm when I seen this puppy in a Revolver. Ammo reasonable and plentiful to, compared to some of the usual "Revolver Calibers" as of late...
Gun manufacturers are pricing themselves out of business, especially as mature shooters age and begin to suffer from hand problems like arthritis and tendonitis etc. Young shooters are not going to be able to afford a $1500 to $6000 handgun. Polymer guns are not worth passing on to another generation either. Handle one of them on a hot day and observer how they flex and deform like a gummy bear or a jello shot. Not going to be giving anything that untraditional on to my family to own when I am gone. Heirlooms are not made of plastic tupperware.
I didn't like the 7 odd 7 shot cylinder at first but remembering 5 shot revolvers have been out there and carried for over 100 years, 7 is a little better.
I'll add the Taurus 692; 7 shits and factory porting. Comes with interchangeable cylinders for 357 and 9mm. Ive heard the complaints about Taurus quality control and I think its been blown out if proportion. I've owned a total of five Taurus revolvers and they were all high quality in fit and finish. No problems. I've only sold one of them, a 607. Used the money toward a SW627PC, which frankly is in a class by itself. But I digress.
It is also worth noting the tidyness of the Revolver, as we all know semi-automatic sliding chamber action weapons eject the spent rounds, in a situation where you can't leave spent cartridges behind, you need to then search the ground for those spent rounds, not so with revolving chamber loaded weapons as they hold onto the spent rounds until you unload them yourself, giving you the opportunity to simply pocket those spent rounds for safe keeping. Then there is ammunition. Semi automatic weapons use relatively sensitive internal fire reset mechanisms designed to be manipulated by the blow back of the ammunition, this makes the mechanisms vary vulnerable to stronger blow backs, this is why the Semi/Full automatic "Assault rifles" typically use smaller weaker pistol rounds. And why Semi automatic weapons jam so much. Not so with manual repeating action weapons like the thumb hammer single action revolvers. As those manual repeating action mechanisms are designed to be manually manipulated by the user, and therefore don't need to be so responsive to the ammunition and are thus generally more robust then the Semi automatic mechanisms and can handle full size full power rifle rounds. Enabling the possibility for a manual single action revolver to be chambered for full size full power rifle rounds.
A high capacity pistol is a one-shot gun for some people. One shot, then a failure to extract because of weak hands & wrist. Every time. I know older women who learned to trust only revolvers.
I’m in that phase where I’m about to get my very first gun for my collection , I want a shit load but I want my first to be my special baby. So far, so far S&W model 327 8 shot has won my heart
@@sonicmastersword8080 I went to one of the gun stores and guy said it’ll be months of waiting , I ended up leaving with a Beretta centurion , fucking love it , gone get a FN 10mm next
@@User-zl9pj I was in the same boat as you a few years ago. After months of research, I bought the Ruger GP 100 model 1776, 7 shot capacity with 4" barrel. It is a pleasure to shoot and in my opinion a beautiful well built wheel gun.
Odd number cylinder is the way to go - cylinder stops can be cut between the chambers, not where the metal is thinnest as is the case with an even number.
The S&W 686+ , can be had for significantly less than the MSRP quoted in the vid. I bought mine online for $750.00 plus tax and FFL transfer, brand new. It just takes a little patience in the search.
I agree with your taste in revolvers. I have a number of 686s and a 686+. Once you get good with one, you pretty much have all of them mastered. Stay strong! --Old Guy @@bondalero0074
a semi auto handgun with a 7+1 capacity is scoffed at these days. Everyone considers that low capacity. That being said, revolvers are wonderful to collect and shoot.
I know of 6/8shot 357magnum and one 7shot. 357magnum KORTH NXS, S&W; Model327TRR8, Model 627pro, M&PR8Performance, Model 686+(7), Ruger Super GP100(8) , Redhawk (8)
And if you have a used gun rack at your local gun store there was the "iver Johnson sealed 8 " and H&R 900 series revolvers 9 shot .22 or .22 magnum and made of solid steel
I have a Colt Python and a S&W Airweight .38 that are the perfect combo IMO. I can shoot the (plenty powerful enough) .38 out of both while having the .357 magnum for the Colt. I use the Colt for home defense and the S&W for concealed carry.
1. What's with the 7shot stuff. Ruger Super GP 5.5inch/8shot. And Korth was a good review to a point; you forgot to mention the .357magnum has a transferable 9mm cylinder/8shot. I have one $5,240.+change.
Revolvers and shotguns are _antiquated_ Not to be confused with _ineffective_ but they're showing their age and limitations with physics. If I'm considering a revolver, it *will* be 8-shot, and if I'm considering a shotgun, it *will* be semi-auto. If I'm going to get something antiquated, then I'll have to take all the modern features I can get. 🤷
What about the Ruger Super GP100. 8 shot .357 5.5 inch barrel. Looks a lot like that Korth, and probably almost as good, for less than a third of the price.
I've owned a 3HK so far and only sold 2 of them because I absolutely had to I'm so far outside of a Very specificBecause I like hearing you talk to mark USPA Because I miss the hell out of my smith 442,and Honestly after trying the ruger LCR having been somewhat inspired by watching Walter white with it Seriously the trigger on the reality are in is initially superior a smith and Wesson 442 performance center 357, schnapps white rhino is what I need feed baby! Ruger LCR and kimber k6 snub are prob tops because I'm thinking pocket gun wit a sticky holster. My p30LS is fantastic and I want another LEM too esp GrayGuns mods including the srt for my LS which is DA SA but if it makes it feel like a Sig srt or close fuckin A.... As for the Ruger LCR its great stock and i! Sure its got some fun mods. Imo a snub with a LEM trigger would be best daily carry ever!
@@lynnkramer1211 it's absolutely funny how perception works there isn't it. I own both 9mm & 357's. 9mm even in +p rounds will never quite hold a candle to the 357. Another anomaly is some how a meer 1/4 inch more penetration (only with some ammo) the 9mm becomes a more powerful choice to the 38 special 🤣. The t. v. hype sells bull💩
I have a Ruger Redhawk 44 Mag, but other than dangerous animals in the field, I wouldn't consider bringing it to a human self defense gun fight. While it certainly would do the job, it is too heavy, requiring a large holster and takes too long to reload the 6 rounds. While it would be good if you didn't want to leave brass at the scene, it's damn near impossible to silence the revolver. With such a loud report, you're not going to go unnoticed. Lately, I have been carrying a Sig P365 9mm, with threaded barrel. I have an Obsidian 9 suppressor, with subsonic rounds (fairly common ammunition). If you put a skin at the business end of the short version suppress, it's sufficiently quiet enough to walk away unnoticed (except the crumpled mass of bleeding bad guy). In a normal CCW Self Defense situation, it is small, accurate, light, easily concealed, and deadly with a 10 to 18 round magazine. I typically carry the 12 round magazine (longer grip for my big hands, and an 18 round back up magazine. This is way more than the typically fired in a self defense shooting, but more ammunition is better in a gun fight!
@@TheMcpvideo Cheap parts, cheap after labor process, they're very highly produced and not the greatest made, you get what you pay for. If you get a good one it will last you a while. But even then, if you shoot it enough the fireing pin, fireing pin block, cylinder timing, cylinder hitting the forcing cone, front site sticker, etc will end up having issues.
I hear a bit of bias in the beginning of this video. Revolvers are not 'ever dwindling in popularity' at all. If you did real research, vs. just assuming info (a bias), you will see that for at least the past 5 years that revolvers have kept at a steady 15% of handguns manufactured in the US, and this 15% is essentially for each of the past 5 years. This clearly says that the revolver popularity is NOT dwindling, or even changing. I was not able to research the spread between SA vs. DA revolvers, nor the amount of differences between the standard 6 round cylinder vs. 5, 7, or 8 rounds. The term 'big bore' is most often used for calibers .40 and greater, and does not normally apply to the .357 caliber, which is the same bullet diameter as the 9mm, and no one would call that caliber 'big bore'. Perhaps you should have said 'high powered...'. Also, the initial video of the Ruger GP100 was a 5 shot cylinder, and not the 7 shot one, but later on it was the 7 shot version. I liked how you pointed out the guns that could accept moon clips, and showed us the recess portion on the cylinders as well!
You're right actually I thought revolvers were gaining popularity. They hit a lull when semi-autos first came on the scene in the late 80s but just like I predicted that didn't last. People tend to like the bigger bore ammo as well as the reliability and there's just something intimidating about having a big ass revolver pointed at you. Kind of that go ahead make my day vibe. Also your comment on the 357 it's really considered the first rung on the ladder in me hand Cannon family.
There is zero reason to waste your money on the weakest magnum caliber (357) in this day and age, especially in a revolver! Get yourself at high capacity 10mm and you'll be well ahead of any tired 357 revolver. If you want a magnum, get a real magnum!!! 7:00
Should I get a used car or a Korth? I wouldn't hesitate if I had a lottery win, but otherwise, as a regular everyday person, it's just not in the cards!
Look in my opinion, they’re extremely simple firearm, but for some fucking reason they’re extremely expensive and it makes no sense maybe because they are way too reliable
