Times sure have changed.
Now pistols are the most popular, by far.
Revolvers are still hanging in there, but far, far behind.
When I was younger, revolvers ruled.
Today, like not knowing how to drive a stick shift car, there's whole generations of people who have a very limited knowledge of the operation of the revolver.
Weird.
I like revolvers
In my experience working gun shows, many first timers, especially women, buy revolvers, because they don’t have the strength to rack the slide on a semi. They buy either the Ruger LCR, or Taurus 85. A few buy the S&W. GARY.
I have always thought of all guns a revolver was the most intuitive of all types to manipulate with little to no training (at least as far as basic function).jaytwillerham wrote: ↑Thu Dec 06, 2018 11:59 am Times sure have changed.

For bad breath distance they still can't be beat IMO due to no worries about the slide not being able to go into battery.
Hammer-less models can be shot right through a pocket if need be.
My 64-2 with black/silverwood grips.
The pic doesn't capture the beauty of these grips!
The gun is smoooth and tight! Just the way I like my women. K frame snubs are sexy!

My S&W Model 544 Texas Train Wagon Commemorative in .44-40. Less than 5,000 were made. All in the year 1986.
The grips have a birthday of May 27, 1986.
5"six shot N Frame in .44-40. Like Dirty Harry, but classy.

Ruger Wrangler
Not a revolver guy, but that Wrangler is a good looking gun.
