Revolvers

[Rictex94]

What is a must have revolver? I'm trying to decide which one should be my next one, just got my second one 2 days ago and itching for the next! These are the two I currently own

All depends upon the usage for the revolver. Hunting? Target shooting? Plinking? Carry?

Depends on other factors as well. Cost of ammo. Do you reload or strictly depend upon factory loaded ammo? How much do you plan on shooting?

I have seen lots of people want some of the larger bore caliber revolvers, buy them, then when being dependent upon just factory ammo, find out just how expensive they are to shoot!

A snubnose S&W for concealed carry is always a good investment.

I don't believe there is a must have. More like I want one so bad it hurts, therefore, I have a few.

. 22 MAG best all around revolver for personal defense and plinking, everyone needs one!

I've had one or more for years and love it. Extremely hidden.

I meant a revolver that has always been something you wanted "in general" no real reason behind of what is going to be used for. I'm more into collecting and shooting them here and there, I mostly shoot my AR, 9mm and shotgun

Then IMO, you are only limited by your imagination and your wallet. Hundreds of choices out there.

Here's a suggestion you might explore in greater depth. An older Dan Wesson Model 15 357 revolver. My father owns two of them and has owned and shot them since the late 1970's. They are really some of the finest revolvers you will ever shoot. If you like a S&W revolver, you will fall in love with a Dan Wesson. Plus, they are very accurate revolvers and strong. They are not cheap, but not near getting into some of the older Colt double-action revolver prices yet either.

Just something to check out.

Kind of a personal preference really. Me, I’m looking for pre-hillaray hole and preferably pre-mim s&w .357 mag. Ruger is good for SS.357 or .44 mag, but can’t beat the bluing of the older S&W. They are just so Purdy. Just my humble opinion.

Colt SAA in 45LC.

Some information on the Dan Wesson revolvers to get you started if your are interested.

From what I understand, the newer Dan Wesson parts, will fit the older Dan Wesson guns.

1. Ruger Single Six convertible
2. Any K frame with a 6" and/or 4" bbl in blue or SS
3. N Frame same same
4. Colt Troopers are still available and reasonable
5. Ruger Blackhawk or Redhawk
6. The new Pythons are pretty killer. The older ones are outta sight
7. Colt SAA or clones
8. Dan Wessons
9. Rim fire revolvers, especially magnum.
10. Lots of speed loaders or strips.

It's a start.

I have one Colt .38 revolver. the rest are S&W. Most are older than 50. This .38 was shipped in 1906.

Single-action revolvers are a must-have for a fun range day. Start with a Single-Six or Bearcat.....then move up to one of the Blackhawk Convertible in .357/9mm or .45Colt/.45ACP. When you build up the courage, get one of the BFRs in your favorite rifle caliber.

Single-action revolvers are fun.....

I'll definitely check it out because I'm a big S&W brand loyalists

If it helps, Dan Wesson was the great grandson of one of the founders of Smith & Wesson!
