Im a 1911 guy to but I do carry a snubby now sometimes when I dont feel like packing so much steel.In my youthful days I used to despise revolvers and go along with the crowd that called them obsolete,I dunno why thats youth for you but in the last several years they have become very attractive to me.

Revolvers certainly still have a place in the modern world.

Well as a new guy and with my first post all spare us all from my feelings about revolvers. I like the Aimpoint the Surefire and the rubber grips. You can do away with the rest of it though. Plus that thing must be so miss balanced. Just so much wrong there.

the opposite, keep the aimpoint, surefire and rubber grips, I'll take the rest. But I understand how you feel. I had to use auto's professionally for a long time, now I really like my revolvers. Welcome aboard

What caliber is the gun? Looking at the photo, it appears to be a .45ACP (or 10mm) because of the short cylinder. Now, if they got rid of all the gadgets and chambered the gun in .454, I'd buy it to shoot hot .45 Colts out of it.

At the range (the only place where I shoot), I've had autoloaders jam up on me and I've had revolvers seize up on me. I was usually able to clear a jammed semi without any special tools and bring it back into service in under a minute and that was without rushing. Not really sure how quickly I could do it if I was going for speed. Half a minute? 15 seconds? Don't know but do know that at a moderate pace, I can usually clear a jam in under a minute.

When a revolver seized up on me, the range session was done because there was nothing that I could do to bring it back into service. If this happened in real life, the revolver would have been a fancy paperweight while the semi could be brought back into use as a firearm.

Based on that personal experience, I prefer a semi for reliability over a revolver. Doesn't mean that I don't carry revolvers but most of the time it's an autoloader that rides on my hip.

Knight. That is my feeling also about revolvers. Pluss I like the extra capacity of auto's. But if I want to carry somthing small and powerful I would go revoler since small auto's alot of them just arnt right.

The Revolver I posted says it chambered in 357mag but I agree the cylinder looks way too short.

Most the time a revolver has probs like that its a flaw from the factory like cylinder binding,etc.When it comes to Semis many more things can go wrong.I wont argue which is best though as I use both and I do use semis more than my revolvers.Depends on the situation at hand really.A malfunction in any firearm when you really need it is a very bad thing.You might not even have time to clear the jam before you are dead so other methods of self defense need to kick in.

Well most revolvers are heavier. When all other options are gone slap someone in the head with it. Or huck it at them as hard as you can and run.

I had a Ruger SP101 jam so badly the cylinder had to be literally pried open with a tool.

The culprit: a small sliver of brass under the extractor star.

Since then I've been a semi-auto man.
