25 y/o here
As I spend more time in the gun world, I like revolvers more and more. Out of my 9 guns, 4 of them are revolvers. I just picked up a Python, and my next gun will be a big bore wheel gun. The thing I like about'em are they dead reliable. No jams, just point and click. Not too mention they come in everything from a .22 up to the .500
I am heading on to 41 tomorrow the 9th.
Two fisting both! 101 for a backup and a M&P45 for carry.:mrgreen:
Turned 60 on the 4 of september :smt023
I love my Government 45. If 6 or 7 shots don't stop them, so be it. I also carry a Smith Can't remember the model but its all titanium 38, 5 shot and shoots + P's in it. Only weighs 16 oz loaded and slips in and out of the front pocket reallll EZ.
Oh by the way I'm in my mid 70's

I currently own a 9mm and a 380. Havent had much experience with revolvers in my hand to make a choice as to which one i prefer.
Hipoint 380 and a Beretta Px4 .40 here
41.
Older than spit, but younger than dirt.
I'm 46 now, but I've owned a few revolvers over the years. I've had a Ruger, a couple of S&W's, and currently a Taurus Model 85CH Ultra-Lite. So far the 85CH has been my favorite, but I've got my eye on an S&W Bodyguard. I'm partial to .38spcl, but I've also owned .357 or two in the past.
I'm 29 and I carry both semi-auto .380 and a snub nose .357 I love them both but next to my bed I keep my s&w 4" barrel .357 because I have never had a revolver jam on me not that my semi-auto jams alot but it has happened. My first gun was a revolver and loved them ever since. If I had to only own 1 gun the rest of my life it would be a revolver. :smt033
Can i re-vote? i seem to have switched age groups.
and for the running tally
Revolvers (from cap and ball sa, to through cylinder sa, to da/sa) - 10
Autos (1911- plastic fantastics) - 10
So i guess i am just a fair minded guy (then again the guns dont piss me off, and when the do, they get replaced, so maybe i am NOT a fair minded guy)
A very hardened yet young 33...
24. had shot alot since 10. but never fell in love withy shooting teill i was 23

What in the world does that comment mean?
:watching:
26 here. I just love the ease and simplicity of my colt cobra .38. It brings a smile to my face every time!
I’ll be 66 in May.
Seems as though the more mature (older) you become through the years,
you tend to take less crap from others ... :horsepoo:

Looks like there's a few my age here :)
I'm 20. I will be turning 21 later on this year. :)
76 in November.
Taurus .357, Springfield v10 45, Berretta Cheeta 84FS.
I am 63, and new to the forum. I have 18 guns on my carry permit, and carry both revolver (usually S&W) and semi's (several makes). If it goes boom, I like it.
The only revolvers I own are a pair of twin smith and wesson .22's, my grandfather gave them to me when I was young because he knew I liked pistols (although he would have rather had me be a shotgunner) they are beautiful for this reason. However, the reliability on them in not well, if you don't take care of your revolver, it will go to hell. Thats why i like polymer pistols (i take very good care of them) but I don't have to...
I think my grandfather also left me before his passing, a .44 Colt Python and a .380 PPk, my uncle took them though (his right because it was his father) but still I do wish I would have gotten these, how fun would a .44 wheel gun be? Screw the ppk...lol (ok Id like it too)
Were these .22's ever dry fired? If so, the firing pin or cylinder may be damaged. How much have they been used? Do they have any non-original parts or gunsmithing by someone who is not a gunsmith? I will take any Ruger revolver and do a shot for shot test against your polymer semi-auto in a real world test and see which has the first malfunction.Quote:
