I'm thinking about picking up a revolver but haven't really done any research on them. What brand/model do you guys recommend? Obviously, the cheaper the better, but I definitely dont want a piece of shit that will fail on me when needed [Wink]

I currently have a Sig P226 .40 cal that I love, but I want a revolver to pair it with for those "just in case" moments [patriot]

From what I hear Taurus come with a lifetime guarantee?
Like they'll replace it if anything ever breaks on it, no questions asked type of deal.
Sounds pretty good to me

Posted by SydeWaySix (Member # 3596) on :

What are the most "cost efficient" ones? Also, what caliber do you guys recommend for a revolver?

Posted by hilltim54 (Member # 10655) on :

All the "just in case" you will ever need.. [patriot]

I never recommend trying to save too much when it comes to guns but as far as revolvers go you will definitely find a deal if you are patient and look around. As far as caliber I love my .357 I can take it to the range and shoot cheaper .38 loads but when I need it I have the stopping power of .357 Magnum.

S&W 500 with 4" barrel, g'night!

Posted by wilit (Member # 3367) on :

I've got a Taurus 605 (.357 w/2" barrel). I love it. Great gun, pretty accurate for only a 2" barrel. I think I paid something like $460 with tax and everything.

I did do a couple of mods right when I got it home though. I replaced the hammer spring with a lighter one and replaced the grip with a Hogue. When I had the side plate off I also cleaned it really well inside. The cleaning with the hammer spring got rid of the grittyness you read about with Taurus triggers.

Who you tryin to kill? [Razz]

Posted by 89bluenotch (Member # 7454) on :

Like above can't go wrong with ruger or s&w! Or if you want a real sick one dan wesson makes some Badass revolvers. 357 is a great caliber and like stated you can shoot the cheaper .38 out of them! Wouldn't turn down a 44 if you found a good deal though awesome caliber!

Posted by DIRTY SALLY (Member # 7845) on :

I got a 45 long ruger that's fuckin badass I also have a 44mag ruger that's badass to but if lookin for something just in case semiautomatics is the way to go imo. But if you want one and never shot one I would go with a 357 or a 38 special [patriot]

Love my 38 snub nose colt

Keep my blackbird in my toolbox in my garage in case my fistolas can handle the fool that dares to follow this bear into its cave.

Hey there's my gun ... Except mines a .357 with a 2 inch barrel.

Posted by SydeWaySix (Member # 3596) on :

what could I expect to pay for one of these guns? Are they typically more than semi-auto pistols? If I get one, I'd want a 3" barrel at most...the smaller the better. I plan to keep this one downstairs for easy access [Wink]

Fuck the bullshit Sydeways , build yourself an AR [patriot]

to me , its the best gun ever made . You can change your upper reciever to a variety of different calibers and mags are readily avaialable. 30 round rebuild kits , which is basically just a dissambled mag . Perfectly legal to own in Ca as long as theyre disassembled, an when and if there is ever a world catastrophe lock and load with your high caps and boom there ya go homie .

If you ever need any further info feel free to pm me . [patriot]

SMITH AND WESSON MODEL 60

Posted by MustangNate (Member # 4559) on :

Russian Nagant revolver.
Uses a 7.62 round, has a sealed chamber (need to run a can for any reason?), and can be had for about $110.

Posted by v-town coupe (Member # 2771) on :

if your on a budget go charter arms, if you can spend a little more something in taurus or ruger would be a big step above, and if your ball'n a smith would be the top notch. just an FYI if you already have an auto loading pistol charter arms is offering some revolvers in "auto" rounds now so you can buy the same ammo for both pistols.

If you cant afford any of the above a wrist rocket with night sights might be up your alley.

Yeah, and only a double action trigger pull of 50lbs. [Big Grin]

That is hands down one of the best guns to put a can on though. Can't wait to move to another state.
