You know there is a good market out there for your revolvers...

On the other hand...just because you don't shoot them / doesn't mean you can't keep them to appreciate them as pieces of craftmanship...( they don't cost you anything to keep...or feed...sitting in the safe ) !

I go thru the same thing once in a while on guns I don't shoot often....and there will come a day ...( I'm only 67 now ) ...when I'll get rid of most of them...but its no rush.
----------
A lot of guys at my local range...were kicking this around one day ..so they came up with "Wheel Gun Wed's"...and while we all chuckled, its almost against the rules not to bring a wheel gun along on Wed's...

The revolver is still a good tool, with the longer trigger pull, to teach new shooters the technique of executing that long trigger pull smoothly...( plus I just like them ...especially S&W model 18's, 19's, 27's, 29's ...)
