Sorry, I'm not going to learn a third way to open a cylinder, it took me forever to learn to push "in", instead of forward.

I'm not going to buy a gun I have to push "back" to dump the brass.

Besides, S&W has the best ribs and underlugs.

I've never understood the, "but it's gotta be tiny so you can carry it!" crowd. See no need for a barrel less than 3", and I prefer 4".

Colt revolvers are cool though.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

depends on how you carry

putting a 4 inch barrel in your pocket or down your pants is harder than a 2 inch

I have a colt agent snub I bought new in 1983. Total of maybe 200 rounds through it. Looks brand new. sat in a holster in a drawer for 30 years.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

fuck yes

once you told a story where you bought a new motorcycle and rode across the country with a revolver in your pocket

was it that agent

con77 ago

Single-stack 380s and 9mm's have made these obsolete. Slimmer, more capacity.

Shut your whore mouth

It’s what my heart says, but the Shield in my pants says otherwise

clamhurt_legbeard ago

i disagree altho i own those too lol

revolver has no safety so its immediately ready to go and left hand friendly

revolvers are way more customizable in the grip department

my wifes slim single stack polymer 9mm needed a zippo and a half hour to change the grip

meanwhile ive changed my revolver grip back and forth countless times

That Night Cobra is a sexy bitch

clamhurt_legbeard ago

dude

isnt it tho

like yowza

Battlefat ago

I’m at the point where an $800+ pistol better call me pretty because it’s probably not gonna make me shoot better than one half it’s price — but I look at it and want it almost as badly as an M45A1

clamhurt_legbeard ago

true shit

my bersa was 350 new

500 for a west german sig 226 from a coworker

above like 600 you better do something special

most i spent on a handgun was my snubby amusingly

like 750 i think

Battlefat ago

226 master race

clamhurt_legbeard ago

west german marked slide

clamhurt_legbeard ago

dude

honestly

we can talk about bleeding edge bullet design and polymers

but the biggest reality is pulling a gun wins most fights

and most of the rest are solved by 3 rounds of anything

and revolves are simple and solid

self defense really doesnt change that fast

Funny, I just watched a Gun Jesus (Forgotten Weapons) video on a Fitz Special revolver and he explained how it was the progenitor to all the snubnoses of today. Good writeup as always, now I want one and God knows I don't need another gun...

clamhurt_legbeard ago

haaaaaa

dude id watched that video a while back

but i highly recommend reading the book by fitz i linked to

its free and very interesting historically

CultureOfCritique ago

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Nice one. I really do like snub noses. It was the first gun I ever bought even. It wasn't a colt though, it would have been cool if it was. It was a taurus ultra lite, it's still kicking with 1000's of rounds shot through it. Then I bought another snubby (taurus 605) but one that could shoot 357 because I want to feel the recoil the next day. I will probably buy another in the future (s&w model 638 or 649).

clamhurt_legbeard ago

exactly what i mean

i have a smith and wesson model 60

tho i havent shot 357 yet

thedirtypuma ago

NIce on the 50 yard accuracy with a snubby. I have never even tried going more than 15 yards with mine. The 15 yards already seems like a but of a stretch.

357 probably isn't worth it with such a short barrel. It does make a bit of a fireball when you shoot it though which is fun.

Have you ever thought about writing about the Mateba?

clamhurt_legbeard ago

i was shooting a big ol propane tank

and missed half the time

but that means i hit half the time

and it has a 2 inch barrel

and i suck with pistols

i was very happy

i dont know much about the mateba but i have heard of it

as for 357

i like the option

and really like the extra durability

if it can handle that

my 38 isnt going to wear it out any time soon
