Capacity questions

[pdmoderator]

Hi, all,

Two silly questions:

1. What's the highest capacity .357 or larger revolver in production today?

2. Same as question 1, but excluding any that aren't reliable enough for a self-defense weapon?

Thanks,

Taurus M608 has an eight round, .357 magnum capacity; please see http://www.taurususa.com/m608.html.

Your caveat about eliminating guns not reliable enough to bet your life on would cause many to pass over the Taurus suggested above which would lead you to the 7-shot S+W686 Plus.

didn't someone (rpm?) make an eight shot smith m-27 in .38 super?

Smith has produced several variations of their N-frame revolvers with 8rd. cylinders.

You liked the .357 Colt Trooper Mark V didn't you? Did it turn you into a wheel gun fan? Inquiring minds want to know.......

Just checking ALL the options, Ray...

If you can't get it done in 6, it's time to introduce Mr. Handgrenade into the situation...

No thanks. A hand grenade is a two edged sword, and is likely to bite the hand that feeds it.

As long as we all remember Murphy's Law of Combat #331:

"When the pin is pulled, Mr. Grenade is no longer our friend."

"When the pin is pulled, Mr. Hand Grenade is no longer our friend."

Knowing someone who was wounded by fragments from his own hand grenade, I'd have to agree with that...
