Where are all the revolvers?

[CRSIII]

The classifieds are barren.
A buddy is looking for one. Smith/Ruger .357.
I figured better here than a shop.
Ill keep checking.

 

[dhuze]

Nobody sells their revolvers.

 

[ToddDubya]

There are some bigger calibers for sale. Tell your boy to man up.

Its his first time, try to be gentle.

You can't even shoot through a tree with a .357Mag.

Seriously though does he know what he wants? Something you carry is not all that fun to shoot.

Hes looking to me for advice. (I know, I know)
He's a PAC agent, so its for work for the most part.
I recommend .357 because you have cal. options.
I figured N frame/SP w/3-4" tube.

Stop looking for revolvers in the classifieds ... because im looking for one!

I have a nice condition Ruger SP101 .357 with 3" barrel that I would sell

 

[NorthShore]

I have been lurking patiently for something as well. Although I just recently saw an add for the new Ruger LCR 3' barrell in .38 SPL I thought seemed cool. But who knows how long until it's available in MA.

Once they release the .357 version of that LCR 3" barrel, I will be interested as a lightweight trail gun....but i am failing to see the purpose of a longer barrel w the .38 chambering

The longer barrel helps control recoil, but its biggest benefit is longer sight radius

Have you tried looking in the 1950s?

 

[grey]

the S&W model 60 has always got my attention. Talk to a dealer. Ordering one shouldn't be to difficult

 

[CRSIII]

What do you mean moto?

 

[HuntMaine]

LOL

 

[RHJJ]

My biggest regret was selling my S&W model 66.

 

[Archilochus]

I have them all

This. they're pieces of art.

 

[Lip]

I have a .44 mag I'll let go cheap.

Valid is point about waiting for a .357 version but I can find a reason to buy almost any firearm. It's just cash flow that stops me....

 

[Asaltweapon]

I have a friends Security 6 in my safe I think he'll let go reasonably. I can ask him if you want.

My wheel guns however are NOT FOR SALE. I'm still ISO the big Colt snake while keeping my butt intact.

 

[Tomfromhull]

Finally a thread with guys who love revolvers. I love mine. Dan Wesson model 14-2 357, S&W 642, Ruger LCR 357.

 

[boscru]

as a few have said, .357 because it gives you the option of using .38's. i know because i made the mistake of buying the lcr .38 as my first carry and within a month wished i had bought the .357.

that said, i'll never give up my .38 because it was my first and you always love your first-born the most.

 

[Lip]

Other than the Nagant, the Lamat is the only other wheel gun I want.

Wow, someone who doesn't suffer from "Python Lust".

 

[FLHTC]

The older revolvers are out there but most of them are not cheap. On the other hand I was looking for an affordable 586 for years, patience paid off twice. I found a 6" for $400 with custom wood combat grips and a 4" also with custom wood combat grips for $425. I just picked up a Model 29 classic for essentially $900, I paid too much but I wanted it.

 

[Wadcutter]

I figured N frame/SP w/3-4" tube.

That sentence is a little confusing to me. What size revolver does he want (S, M or L?) The N frame is the largest frame size for a S&W and the SP is the smaller of the two Ruger metal frame revolvers. I'd look at a K or L frame from S&W (model 66, 686 etc) or a GP100 from Ruger.

 

[CRSIII]

K frame, I meant k.
Looks like he's going with the sp though.
A wise choice IMHO.

 

[late08]

I hear you, its hard to find decent stuff.

I have a no lock 686-1 and a S&W 38 airweight, they will probably outlast me!
