The old Charter Arms revolver. I have several gun magazines from the late sixties and early seventies. The Charter Arms products certainly got a lot of press back then. Lots of coverage and a fair amount of advertising on the part of the company. Interesting. And that's a good looking little revolver there.

This does not bode well for me at all... I just bought my first revolver this week (pre-27; still waiting to take delivery) and my gun safe is mostly full. Of course, I can always get rid of the Wills, old family photo albums, etc and make room for another revolver or two...
Here's a question, do I have to store all my ammo in my gun safe? It would hold LOTS more guns if the ammo weren't all in there |

I wonder how many of our forum members control ammo access as well... |

Wheel guns are real guns.
I like the feel of steel .

Rationalization? or Reality...
I'm just too old & lazy to bend over and police my brass; so, at times, for moi, wheelguns work just fine... just fine.

lowercase I am going to get one of those NAA 22LR REVOLVERS. Is this something that you use often? Seems like a pocket knife, something you should have with you every day.

Same exact thing happened to me. I started owning three bottom feeders and like others got real tired of chasing my brass all over the range. Besides, the few times I've gone to an indoor range, I found that retrieving my brass to be way too hard.
My first revolver was a Heritage Arms 32 H&R magnum. Those little rounds are really sweet and produce a satisfying amount of recoil and noise. Second revolver was a S&W Governor. Another fun gun to shoot even though the recoil is huge. I'm now eyeballing a Ruger 357/9mm convertible with a 6.5" barrel. Man that should be nice. Every time I tell my wife that this gun will be the last one I'll buy, another one pops up on my radar. So far I've told her that five times.

I have six revolvers and only one semi, I guess that says it all for my preferences.
