Let's face it revolvers suck....

9mm/.45 for when peoples go bad.

.357/.44magnums when kritters go bad.

simple no brainer.

That was funny!
Confucius says: "If you can't hit the broadside of a barn.....

You need a bigger barn " :)

Revolvers are the only handguns that interest me. That's a great video! :D

They may suck, but they still work...

Lots of valid points there.

I made it through about 4 minutes of that. Jesus...

I made it to 2:37. And I'm a revolver owner!

Geez he sure convinced me..I am going to put up all of my Revolvers for sale, I wonder if anybody will buy them? Do ya think that $300 is too much to ask for a S&W Registered Mag that has never bin fired and still has the original box?

Damn Tabs, how does one even begin to CCW that?

It looks like it may need a butt stock its so damn big!

I've got to wonder what that thing does when fired!

U know that spoon is so old, from the mid 1930's that I don't even know if it should be fired..

tabs thats a beauty. youz gots some good taste in spoons.

i think that quite possibly could be substituted for an elk rifle.

The real problem with Youtube is that so many people who can't speak....do.

I agree it wasn't their best work (yellow submarine, seriously?)
But Elanor rigby, taxman, and good day sunshine weren't bad songs.
Wait, what?

I pull the trigger, it goes bang. I pull the trigger again, it goes bang again.

Semi-auto, I pull the trigger, it goes bang (the first time) and then it will probably go bang the second time.

Me too. I have tried to develop an interest in semi-autos, but I just can't do it. Oh, I do have a couple 1911's just because, but they really don't serve my needs. I even go a step further than just revolvers - single actions are my all-time favorite, most used sidearms.

I have a couple revolvers that belonged to my wife's deceased first husband. One is a Ruger Super Blackhawk in .44 magnum and the other is a Colt Peacemaker .22

I can't hit the broad side of a barn with them compared to my trusty Glock 34 or my Ruger Mark II stainless slab side. I would sell them in a heartbeat if they did not have sentimental value to my wife. My two handed thumbs forward grip is much more stable for accurate shooting for "ME"compared to the goofy revolver curved grip. I have no doubt that the revolvers are accurate, but they are not in my hands compared to autos that allow my IDPA developed/practiced grip. I am fairly confident Higgins would beat me in any type of bullseye contest with his revolvers, but I guarantee I would fair much better using my autos than I would using my "wife's" revolvers in any kind of shooting match.

My Glock is extremely reliable so that argument for revolvers is a non issue for me. I agree however that .22 autos indeed are somewhat more likely to FTF than a .22 revolver, but much of that is due to the dirty nature of .22 rimfire which even in revolvers sometimes fail to fire.

If I participated in outdoor activities in grizzly bear country, I might consider taking the .44 mag Ruger with me (but I don't).

For concealed carry, I carry a tiny .380 auto that fits in a front or rear jean pocket and is thinner/smaller than any of the small CCW revolvers. Anything even slightly bigger makes carrying concealed too much of a pain in the arse for me. Ditto for my wife.

Different strokes and all that I guess.
