I Have A Weakness For Revolvers

I did most of this in one year of revolveritis. I only owned two revolvers in the picture (S&W 642 and NAA mini on second row from bottom) in 2011. :D

Now, I have my local gun store calling me when interesting revolvers come in on trade. I can quit anytime I want. I SWEAR. :rolleyes:

lowercase,

Congrats on that very nice collection. Wow, all but two had over the course of ONE year :eek:. I think the most guns I ever bought in one year was 4-5 and I thought I was doing well...

Oh my God! (Tisk tisk) Those don't look very practical to me. (Wow is me) Can some please explain to me why you need so much firepower. (snivel) I don't see any sporting purpose with all those, those gawns. I believe in the 2nd Admendment, but, but, but....Well, in Europe and in Switzerland everything is so wonderful without those...those things. :D
 
Jeff #111,

that seems to be a Manurhin MR73 with Trausch grips in the lower right corner. That is one of the finest D/A revolvers ever made!

Oh, puh-leeze. :rolleyes: No need for such drama & match delay. Those SOs need to grow some: After he re-holsters, simply give Jerry his DNF for the stage, then call the next shooter to the line. That's what would happen to anyone else, as the rules are generally very clear on this type of thing.

Back on topic: Yeah I have a weakness, too, but my collection's relatively meager. :o Thanks for posting some good lookin' irons, folks.
 
Me too. I don't have as fine a collection as some of you but some of ya probably have a couple years on me:) Through out my military career and my couple years in civilian law enforcement I always used autos. I have an appreciation of autos but in general I don't love them.

I love revolvers even though I don't shoot them as accurately. Which is because I have tens of thousands of rounds more through autos then revolvers. I'm researching getting into reloading so I hope to do a lot more revolver shooting.

I don't own any single action revolvers currently. That is something I would like to explore more later on. I think getting into cowboy shooting would be a very rewarding hobby. I like the action shooting a lot more then bulls eye shooting.

Currently I have
Smith 617 22lr
Smith 686 357mag
Smith 29 44mag
Smith 629 44mag
Taurus 94 22 lr
Taurus Public defender 45lc/410

I would like to get a 460 or 500 I'm leaning towards the 500. Don't need one I just think they are an impressive round and have a lot of versatility in loads/ bullet weights. The 460 does as well but I prefer not to use short brass and If I get into reloading its not really needed since I can use different recipes to safely get the desired effect.
 
Down to just two.

All the targets were dbl action.

The flyer not seen in the M66 50 yrd target was 10 o'clock, off the edge of that target. These darn old eyes. At least they force you to focus on ONLY the front sight. To focus on anything else, I'd need three different sets of glasses..;)
