Revolvers are really cool. Also, revolvers stee generally availablein more powerful chamberings. .357 is about equal to the best 10mm rounds, then it gets better from there. You can also switch between full power magnum rounds and low pressure target rounds without changing anything about the gun.

Revolvers are pistols
But not all pistols are revolvers
Thomas Thomas
How could you miss perhaps the biggest pro that revolvers have? They're usually chambered for more powerful rounds than semi-autos are. Also, many are multi-caliber. Also, the ergonomics are better since they don't have to design the grip around to fit a magazine.
Overall, I prefer semi-autos most of the time, including for self defense. But in general revolvers are more fun to shoot in my opinion.

My revolver carries one more round than my mate's 1911.
Wyatt Kelly
no one has ever pretended the 1911 has good capacity.
also you probably have like a .22 then.
Lincoln Rivera
My 686 has the capacity of a 1911
Luke Gomez
Revolvers revolve.
Pistols...
Christian Myers
Anything less than 10 rounds is shit capacity in my book, 1911's included. If you have a revolver with that many rounds and isn't .22lr, then cool. That doesn't take away the fact that generally speaking revolvers have shit capacity.
Robert Edwards
7 rounds isn't the same as a 7+1 or 8+1 with not shit mags.
James Cox
Well I can't argue there.
Hudson Brooks
Negro odds are you won't need more than 3 rounds. Stop LARPing so hard
Jason Miller
Its not the bill of NEEDS! Reeeee!
Ryan Rogers

Odds are the mere presence of a gun is enough to scare someone away, what the fuck is your point? I don't understand why you're defending the capacity of revolvers so hard. You're only kidding yourself.
Sebastian Jones
R8 in .357 actually.

aver una pistola automatica dispara mas rapido que un revolver , punto para la automaitca
el revolver tiene mas poder en sus valas eso la ase mejor que la utomatica pero actualmente ya existen automaticas que utilisan balas de rebolver porlo que tiene el punto la automatica
la automatica tiene un mallor cargador que el revolver y es mas rapida su recarga de cargador ( si tomo en cuenta los cargadores rapidos que utilisan los revolvers) asique punto para la automatica
la automatica es mas probable que se encasquille a diferencia del revolver asique punto para el revolver
el revolver no deja casquillos amenos que recargues asique no encontraran guellas piel muerta o pelos atorados en el adiferencia de la automatica asique punto para el revolver
en precio el revolver es mas varato asque punto para el revolver
la automatica si tiene seguro a difencia de los revolvers donde la malloria no posee un seguro asique punto para la utomatica

Slow your roll, hombre. I thought lint can get stuck around the hammer spur?

Jonathan James
Shit nigger, most 1911's are 7+1 or 8+1 what the fuck are you carrying?
Connor Russell
Not him, but trying to compare police shootout statistics to civilian shootout statistics with handguns is bad and retarded. Don't do it. Six is fine if you are a well practiced shooter, but more is never bad.
Anthony Stewart
I like six shooters. They're cool looking. I like to larp as indiana jones.
Matthew Long
I want to get one but they never have it without the rail when I go.
Elijah Parker
This is some amazing shitposting.

this, and if it's tldr:
a functional revolver will always go bang if the ammo is good, regardless of grip.
functional semi-auto pistols will not always go bang if the ammo is good, because your grip might not be.
Ryder Thompson
I have both so here's my thoughts:
For concealed carry I prefer my kahr pm9. It's smaller than most 5 shot revolvers and it holds 6+1. My g 26 is bigger than the smallest revolvers but it also holds 10+1 so the capacity is great for an easy to conceal weapon.
For home defense I've got a G 19 loaded with a 17 round magazine, a pump shotgun, and a cz 75b with an 18 round magazine. Again, these are all better choices in this scenario.
At the range, where so far in my life I've done 100% of my actual shooting, my 686+ is one of my favorite guns. Everyone that goes shooting with me loves it and I love it as well. 38 special is still more expensive than 9 mm but it's not as bad as the 357 loads. For me, my revolver is a range toy or a gun I would take out hiking in the woods where I might encounter an animal that would need good 357 ammo to put down.

I like the Webley in Last Crusade.
