Are single action revolvers a bad choice for a first handgun (not a first gun in general though)?

yes bad
Not at all, they're a 'bit' more stout than your average pistol, but it'll teach you the fundamentals you just want to make sure you don't develop a bad habit like a flinch. You'll get spoiled on a single action trigger though.
>For an adult
It's a fine choice.
>For a kid
They should have something that shoots every trigger pull. No bullshit safeties or S/A shit, trigger = shoot, don't touch it unless you want to shoot.
Not... clear... on why they would be, OP. I mean shit what's the worst thats gonna happen you learn how to shoot a single action revolver and later buy a semi auto of some kind? Do you think people at the range that dont talk to you anyways will call you a fag? What the fuck could possibly go wrong?
Depends on what you want out of it. I own one and think of it as a toy, its a lot of fun but if you need to use it to shoot someone you better hope they don't have a gun.
Are stagecoaches better then cars
Gee i wonder user
Yes.
Get a glawk brand glawk.
Then branch out from there, build your foundation, then add acutromounts.
No. The best choice for your first handgun is a gun that you like. If you're into single action revolvers, then yes you should get one for your first handgun. Just make sure it's not chambered in a caliber that you can't afford to go out and shoot regularly.
Even if you are looking at it from a self defense perspective, you're going to be significantly more effective with a gun that you like than you would be with a more "effective" gun that you don't necessarily like and only bought because of its "effectiveness" because you are going to go out and shoot the gun that you like more simply because you like it. Does anyone have a link to the article about the guy with a reproduction Schofield revovler dropping someone who was trying to shoot up a grocery store?
>Just make sure it's not chambered in a caliber that you can't afford to go out and shoot regularly.
OP this is the only thing you need to listen too. Any cartridge that'll be bad/dangerous for a new shooter is one you most likely can't afford to practice with enough to justify buying
I find revolvers better for self defence since they don't spray shells all over the ground
Dude, CSI gets paid to pick them up, who cares?
shooting in city is illegal, and dealing with cops just for shooting into air or ground to spook a pack of niggers challenging you in their neighborhood not not pleasant. Yes you can look for the shell while they are running but with revolver you wouldn't have those problems to begin with. Only when you put one down is when you should wait for police so you can file your side of the story.
>warning shot
That's big retarded. Don't do that.
haven't had to do that but I think that would be step 2 of 3 in dealing in situation that comes at you vs being sudden.
Step 1: Brandish
Step 2: Warning shot
Step 3: Shoot to kill
No warning shot, literally every agency down to the IRS says it's a bad idea in a defensive situation. Bad.
Question; If Zimmerman shot a warning shot would this opponent stop attacking and run off which would prevent Zimmerman going thru years of legal fiasco and perhaps his opponent would be still alive and the one dealing with Law for battery?
I don't want to kill unless I absolutely have to. I've seen many cases where simple brandishing de-escalating situation. I've also seen videos from Europe where firing a warning shot by civilians and police de-escalated situations without anyone dying.
Please stop.
your answers are retarded because you don't provide any valid counter-argument.
Isn't .38 special borderline 9mm priced?
Neither do you, so looks like I'll just have to settle with you being retarded.
Yeah, this plan will work, right until a nigger shoots you first because you’re too much of a pussy to fire first.
I am talking about situations where pack of niggers don't display firearms. If I see a firearm in my directions then I am fully justified in my mind and before law to start firing. I don't think law will be easy on you for shooting 3 niggers that were going to beat you up and you don't have severe bodily injuries to show for.
Provide a link to at least one (1) person advocating firing a warning shot into the air in a dense city.
Check and see where brandishing falls in your city as well. Hint: It ain't appropriate everywhere.
that's the point I am making. Branish -> get in trouble. Fire and miss -> get in trouble because you left a shell behind. Fire and hit -> get in trouble because nigger was only going to bash your brains in with his fists and wasn't armed or had his "not legal" gun out.
You act as if cameras don't exist. In a perfect world if they find a shell casing they're not going to let the bloodhounds loose and come right to your door. Goddamn, turn your guns in. We'd feel safer.
Shoot the cops then too pussy, or do us all a favor and neck yourself
okay, just fedex'ed my gun to police with a note that I am a faggot and don't deserve a gun and about to step off a stool necking myself.
bye bye
Have fun
