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.

Hateful thread.

There are few things worse than wanting a gun that you can't afford.

One is wanting a gun that you can't afford that is probably not even sold in Europe!!

I now want that TRR8!
Seriously, just to reiterate after watching the Nutnfancy review, if they sold it here, I would sell my CZ, go auto-free, and buy one in a flash

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

I just about lost my morning coffee with this. I see he's got a bunch of these videos, like this one on Bullpups.

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.

Absolutely.

So many guns, so many beards. Parody genius!

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!

It's only missing a shorty silencer. Then it would be complete.
Unfortunately suppressors are pretty much useless on a revolver unless you can seal up the cylinder gap.

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.

why no-one talking about the auto eject rex? the most tacticool revolver ever. I guess it needs a pic.
break-top, auto-eject shells. looks rip for adding a rail

I always thought the NAA should unfold from a larger Swiss Army Knife-like tool.

I had to look this one up. It looks like none of us will ever have the opportunity. The MP412 REX apparently died in the preliminaries.

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.
