Revolvers, especially percussion ones.
I agree, there's just something about a revolver, one with a 6,8, or 10 inch barrel that makes it feel special compared to auto loaders. Tho, even the small NAA I have I love shooting, when it works.
Then when you get a 100 year old H&R top break .32 and you find out it shoots better than some guns made today, yeah, that just make my day.
There's something about pulling the hammer back or doing a DA shot and watching the cylinder turn and the hammer move, ejecting the empties, and loading them back into the cylinder... it just feels more personal, like me and the gun are working together, where the semi auto pistols feel like a machine I'm just telling what to do.
Revolvers= Data from Star Trek
Semi-Autos= Schwarzenegger in Terminator 2
