Yeah, I hear you!
We can't even buy the Chappia Rhino here in wonderful California. Too tacticool!

Ve haff vays. Lots of off-roster revolvers can be brought to CA via the single action exemption, if you find a FFL willing to work with you. There are a couple restrictions, I think there's a minimum barrel length for example. I was lucky, came across an A-stamped (legal in CA) R8 at a shop not 2 miles from my house, otherwise I would have had to use the single action exemption and buy a non-A-stamped version online and have it converted to SAO (and back again). Krazy Kalifornia.

I suppose this is as good a time as any to link to the Operator Hotline.

ill admit, not quite as cool as the R8, but it's pretty sick
627 but IMO, nothing beats the Russian MP412 REX http://world.guns.ru/handguns/double...-mp-412-e.html if it ever made it to America, it would have surely had a market

Mall ninjas aside, it can certainly be fun, whether "tacticool", decked out, or just plain overkill. (Did any of us really need an XVR?) I think a nicely equipped R8 has you covered in .357. I have to admit eyeballing a Stealth Hunter in .44 Magnum. I throw a little in the jar every week. Who knows? Maybe in a few years I'll buy one. |

Here is a real tactical cool revolver. It and its Blued Brother have been used in tactical situations for over 100 years. No bells, whistles or cup holders needed.
No BS crap to get hung up. Its fast and accurate.

Kraig, technically, you could duct tape a laser to it.

IMHO the S&W 8 shot N frame R8 is the ultimate "tacticool" revolver. The 8 shot Smith has been on my radar for quite awhile now, just can't seem to locate one locally...at least when I've had the money for it!

There are a lot of other "tactical" accessories that are just about as useless too.

Don't forget the Laserlyte Pistol Bayonet, now available in zombie green! I have yet to see one of these on a "tactical revolver"...

My Krebs Custom "CROWBAR" .45ACP S&W M28 is pretty Tacticool for a revolver. Marc Krebs built it for a cop back in the late '80s.

I am just amazed by how cool they can make these revolvers. Most of the time I think 'revolver' I think old school 6 cylinder 357 mag. These just are awesome examples.
Just spectacular.

Seeing all of these tacticool revolvers makes me sad, because I am incapable of growing a beard, and therefore forever excluded from the ranks of true operators.
