Wheel gun picture thread !!!

[TexMex247]

I just thought it wasn't fair that six guns didn't have their own picture category. Afterall, they are the most reliable of all pistols ever created.Anyhow, I'll start things off with a pair of mine. My purdy lil' Cimarron and the Ruger SBH Hunter both chambered in 45LC. Of all the handgun calibers, the colt 45 is truly a pleasure to shoot. Hopefully my pics turn out ok, but lets see what ya'll got...

Wheelguns are not pistols. A pistol is a handgun in which the chamber is integral with the barrel.

While I was having fun with the OP; there is always someone who will spend countless time trying to prove you wrong.

The fact is, it is common useage in the gun world that a pistol and revolver are different.

That someone found a definition that is not as specific; I don't really care.

Who gives a shit. The meaning is implied.

No more about semantics.

 

[TexMex247]

I sure as hell know I'm not the only person in Texas with a six gun and a camera! C'mon y'all, lets see some photos. Oh and BTW TX inv., you should note the smiley+popcorn following that statement clearly implies that I wanted to open that can of worms and spark such important debates.

My little one. Need to get pics of my Rossi up:

 

[codygjohnson]

Tracker in .357 Magnum, complete with drag marks from spinning the cylinder too many times...you know, because it looks cool...

 

[M. Sage]

You'll get those marks just by firing it, so don't stress about 'em.

Remington model 60. .38 special
