If you were to own just one revolver, what would it be?

[miketx]

This is what I have now. I like it.

I've got the hammerless version with different grips. Imo the Ruger grips suck.

.45 is not really a revolver round. .44 Magnum is.

The gall!!!! Blasphemer!!!!!

.45 is not really a revolver round. .44 Magnum is.

There are .45 ACP revolvers though and I wouldn't buy a revolver that used a caliber I can't use in another firearm I already own.

 

[hjmick]

Wow! That looks sturdy!

It is. Having the Ruger Six series lineage is a bonus as well.

I have the 3", and like it a lot as my CCW. Compact, lightweight, with a whole lotta fuck you.

My 6 shot Smith & Wesson .38 Special with a 2" barrel loaded with hollow points to avoid overpenetration.

It's within an arms length away right now.

I am looking to buy this one for 3 years now, no luck.

Is that the Wrangler?

Nice single action from what I hear. Me. I'm too much of a traditionalist so I'd go with a Pietta or Uberti.

I think it's the old model Wrangler but don't quote me on it.

I ask, because I heard the new one are pot metal...

Don't know, don't think so but I'm not a big Ruger fan. I know the newer ones are all cerakoted which to me makes them ugly looking, I'm too much of a traditionalist when it comes to single actions.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

It depends on the situation. Does this include a shit hits the fan scenario?
If had to have only one I would want a 6 inch barrel. Way more versatile.
While I'd like to say I'd want me S&W 610-3 10mm Mag it wouldnt be great in a SHTF due to ammo. But then the .357 is still damn near impossible to find ammo these days.
My S&W will shoot the .40 caliber round but it's not exactly a heavy hitting round but at least you can find em.

Ruger has always used cast rather than forged steel like the S&W.
Of course forged is way stronger so there's no need to make them big and bulky like the Ruger.

 

[DudleySmith]

Only two I've ever owned are a ,38 Colt Police Special/w 5" brl that I've gotten very good with over the years, and a now worn out .22 Ruger target pistol/w5" bull brl. Don't see a need to add to my expensive paperweight collection just yet. Don't like auto's, the grips all suck and cock off to the left slightly; the revolvers are a much more natural grip I don't have to compensate for with a slight hesitation that's annoying. They follow my finger automatically, so if I ever get a new pistol it will be a revolver. My home defense weapon is a cut down 12 g.

 

[1srelluc]

Is that the Wrangler?

No.....Maybe a Vaquaro in .32 H&R. Not sure.

The Wrangler is a .22 S, L, LR only, no .22 mag option.

 

[petro]

I own the Ruger 41 mag Liberty Edition...1976...

Not exactly a conceal weapon.

 

[ReinyDays]

MIM-104 Patriot missile batteries revolve ... 36" bore 10 caliber ... where's the 2nd Amendment folks when you need them ...

 

[Flash]

I have over 50 firearms including a dozen pistols but never owned a revolver of any kind.

I have nothing against them but never came across one that I really wanted to buy or own.
