Do you have ONLY revolvers? - Page 2

About 65/35 revolvers

Backwoodsboy · August 16, 2013, 06:37 PM

1 semi-auto and 2 wheel guns here. Found out quick that I am preferential to revolvers and as such they will probably always outnumber semi s as my collection grows.

vytoland · August 16, 2013, 08:43 PM

I like to watch the wheels go around...

WALKERsD210 · August 17, 2013, 12:30 PM

I prefer to carry a 1911 45ACP any day of the week, but due to health issues and loss of physical strength (ability to rack a slide), I now carry revolvers. I do still have semi-auto's and love them, but have found the Judge Public Defender has it's own place in the world. Same goes for my wife, at first she carried a Taurus PT-25 because the first round is loaded by tipping the barrel and then inserting the magazine into the firearm. But after I gave her a 38spl with 2" barrel the PT-25 is sitting in a drawer.

Revolvers out number my semi autos by about 2 to 1.

Wow, Spacecoast, 65 revolvers and 35 semis! Thats almost as much as I got

larryf1952 · August 17, 2013, 05:47 PM

I have a lot of revolvers, and a lot of semiautos. The first handgun that I bought in 1973 was a revolver...and, the last gun that I bought a few months ago was a revolver. Not that that means anything...

I'm always happy when I don't have to chase brass, though.

zxcvbob · August 17, 2013, 06:23 PM

I have mostly revolvers, and a few semiautos. All the semis except the Ruger Mk2 are hammer-fired, and over half the revolvers are single-action; not sure if that means anything.

orionengnr · August 17, 2013, 07:35 PM

No.

Pezo · August 17, 2013, 07:57 PM

Only wheelies. And all but one, Ruger da's

MGMorden · August 17, 2013, 07:58 PM

Nope. 13 autos to 4 revolvers. Life's too short; i like variety

Crankylove · August 17, 2013, 09:34 PM

I have both.

6 revolvers. (3 double action, 3 single action)

4 semi-autos. (All single action)

black mamba · August 18, 2013, 01:53 AM

Over 37 years of handgun ownership I have been primarily a wheelgunner. I've always had a 22 LR semi-auto of some kind, but for the big stuff I like revolvers. I guess it's the reloader in me-- lots more versatility.

I bought a hi-cap 9 mm about 6 months ago, but I don't load for it, I just stocked up on factory ammo in both FMJ and HP. It's fun to shoot, but I prefer my load development and the satisfaction of tuning my revolvers.

CajunBass · August 18, 2013, 06:37 AM

Revolvers only for me. My wife has a Ruger MK II but that's our only semi.

sgms · August 19, 2013, 07:42 PM

Strangely enough when I looked I found that I have the same number of semis and revolvers and 2/3s as many single shot pistols. Must be that I don't really have a preference.

shortwave · August 19, 2013, 11:40 PM

Both here.

Blacktimberwolf · August 20, 2013, 06:52 AM

5 Revolvers, 6 Semiauto's

KyJim · August 20, 2013, 08:21 PM

I have exactly 50% revolvers and 50% semi-autos. Revolvers are all Colts and Smiths. Semi-autos from different manufacturers and heavy on the 1911s.

BIG P · August 21, 2013, 12:15 AM

Staying open minded like them all.

Shadi Khalil · August 21, 2013, 07:22 AM

I own both and can't say I've ever known anyone who didn't have at least one semi auto. I much prefer revolvers to semi autos but could not live without my MKIII 22/45.

Revoltella · August 21, 2013, 07:58 AM

2:1 revolvers vs semis. I'm trending towards revolvers and bolt rifles. Slower pace, make every shot count and tired of chasing brass all over the range.

JNad · August 21, 2013, 09:20 AM

12 autos / 7 revolvers

This means I need to go buy more guns to even things out. Thanks.

Ruger Blackhawk in .45 convertible
Uberti Schofield replica and a Wells Fargo replica
Smith 617
Ruger LCR in .357

I sure hope my wife understands.

Budda · August 21, 2013, 10:02 PM

Two Autos

5 revolvers.

I only lust after the wheel....

Autos have no soul but serve a purpose.

L_Killkenny · August 24, 2013, 01:45 PM

Centerfires I have only revolvers. Rimfires I have mostly semi's with only one exception, a family heirloom H&R .22.

Jbar4Ranch · August 24, 2013, 02:17 PM

Revolvers outnumber semi's by just over three to one, with "other" making up just under 9% of the combined total. (Single shots, derringers, etc.)

mikejonestkd · August 24, 2013, 02:22 PM

I seem to go through phases - for years I mostly bought .22 target autoloaders, then I went into my run and gun phase and bought semi auto centerfire pistols. The past few years I have pretty much only bought older Smith and wesson revolvers. At this point revolvers out number semis in my safes by 2:1, 10 years ago it was 3:1 in favor of autoloaders.
