r/Revolvers

Most durable and reliable revolvers

I’m a semi auto guy but looking to pick up both a full size and a small carry revolver in .357. I’ve shot a 686+ a lot and like it. I want the most bombproof and reliable revolver. Something that can go 50,000 rounds without running into timing issues or anything else that takes it out of the fight.

Right now I’m thinking a ruger GP100 7-shot and an LCR or SP101. I assume the SP101 would hold up better than the LCR but realistically I’m gonna leave it at home if it feels like a brick on my belt.

What are your thoughts?

Smith and Wesson model 60

Picked up this nice clean model 60 from the 80’s at my local gun shop for only 400 Dabloons, I’ll certainly be pocket carrying it, I love classic revolvers

I need an opinion or gunsmith expertise

I recently bought a Taurus 605 executive grade and wanted to know if this is normal, was caused by ammunition or defective from factory.

Best company for belt and holster set up for Ruger Blackhawk

Just got a Ruger Blackhawk 6.5” in 357 for graduation in stainless steel that I pick up tomorrow. Looking for something well crafted preferably made in US. Something I can take hunting, riding, etc basically all purpose and with room for a knife and pouch and what not. I found this company Triple k and they seem to have what Im looking for but I wanted to see what other people run first, Im all ears. Nothing fancy just basic and well made. Thank you

#WGW - Tonight's carry around town was...

My "beater" 29-2 I got from Bass Pro for sub $900. Obviously the Bass Pro people are idiots, and she handles like a dream and is my favorite piece.

WGW: “performance center” Zastava m83

I have put enough work into this yugo hunk of junk to make it into practically an entirely different handgun. I got it down to a ten pound DA and 3 pound SA. goes bang every single time and Ive shot it freehand out to 100 yards with surprising accuracy. PPU .38 special SWC, 142 grain iirc, all hit lungs and heart at ten yards. excellent little project revolver if you have 300 bucks and some sanity to burn.

WGW, Grandfather gifted me his .357 Blackhawk

This revolver was my grandpa's old hunting carry.

This hunk of metal was traded to my grandpa when he used to own a TV shop.

Customer traded it in for a used 25" General Electric TV in 78 lol.

After he told me the story, I asked to see it and he ended up giving me the damn thing! First revolver in my collection. Excited to shoot it this weekend!

Space gun time

Picked up a 327 through some trades as my 929 is currently down. This has been on my list for ages.

Raging Bull 454

Got this from a buddy. Having it stripped and cerakoted. Hoping to have it back and assembled in the next month. I’ve always wanted the snubby raging judge, but this will do for now.
