Yep, I'm a geezer, too. Hopalong Cassidy, Roy Rogers, The Lone Ranger...they were all my buddies when I was a kid, and they all shot 6 shot Peacemakers. That's how many chambers that revolvers had then, and I still think that that's what they should have now. I'll deviate for a 5 shot J frame snub, but that's about it.
When I think of a revolver with more than 6 shots, it's like throwing a wrench into the gears of the machine that runs the universe. There's a big jolt, and the time space continuum is distorted in a horrible way.
Besides, the cylinders of 7 and 8 shot revolvers just look funny.
