It might include the clips/loaders but not the cylinder. Not really sure.
Will revolvers rise in popularity?

Yeah, well lucky for you your revolver isn't "semi-automatic". 
People keep saying that and I keep thinking of the Webley-Fosbery automatic revolver. I'll probably never see a real one or own one but I have wanted one since I was still in my 20's about a hundred years ago.

The Webley Fosbery in .38 caliber held 8 rounds in the cylinder.
Early versions of the speed loader were developed for British top break revolvers, some were made of molded leather.
I don't think a cylinder counts as a detachable magazine. Speed loaders are a loading device rather than a magazine.

seem like NY is following the flawed logic of Cook county.
brazosdave, you seem to have issues with the idea of hollowpoints for training.
Bear in mind the economics of bulk orders. I would bet that when ordering millions of rounds, the difference in price between FMJ and hollowpoints becomes negligible.
A few years back, a friend of mine took up loading .45ACP, and the best deal he got for bullets was a several thousand round order of Speer GD230.
Meanwhile, a class action suit is already in the works in NY. I just upgraded my Life Membership to Patron status at NRA, and bought a Life Membership in SAF last week. I would suggest others consider doing the same, or supporting whatever effective RKBA organization you like.
For me, if stuck with a 7 round limit, I would normally go with a 1911 and GI type mags. Revolvers for me are more for the woods, or for the wife (who prefers them).
But I would rather spend the money supporting legal actions against this monstrosity of a law, than retooling my magazine inventory.

Agree, wholeheartedly. Along with a few other political titles that are frowned upon because of political correctness.
This is a travesty to the people of New York. I say this with the utmost sincerity. Some of us outside are pulling for you, and have already contacted several on the local and federal level concerning these infringements. I pray that others will do the same. Now is not the time to bury your coconuts in the sand.
The Ruger homepage makes it easy with an app that does most of the work for you. Here is a link.

That's an easy workaround until we can get the law repealed - carry your 5-shot revolver... In .500 S&W...

They come in and out of fashion. I have been on a revolver kick for the last couple years. I have always had an appreciation for them but I have been buying a lot more lately. Right now its as hard to find revolvers as it is autos.

It has to pass first. Then be upheld by courts. Don't give up because someone introduced a bill.
I have revolvers, semi's, M1a... and I would actually recommend a revolver for a first time gun buyer (.38 special in a .357) and revolvers are on my wish list.
I don't think one would be under gunned, defensively with a revolver. Frankly if I was in combat, I would probably prefer a revolver as my side arm.
Dear Santa, I would like a .45 single action, a .44 mag long barrel with a scope mount, a Judge or Governor would be fun.....
I will be glad when the hysteria is over...
Yea, revolvers are cool.
