Revolvers In The News

My goodness. I do love me a good wheel gun. I do indeed. There’s just a feel of the machinery and a tactile connection with the revolver that I don’t get with the plastic guns, and perhaps even the 1911, which is probably my favorite platform.
Advocating concealed carry of small revolvers for self defense. He’s got a good point about all of the lint.
This is interesting. Rob Leatham wins the USPSA revolver championship. I’ve always thought of him as a pistol guy. Congratulations to Rob. I wish I was as good as he is. But I do have a question. Look at this grip he’s using.
It looks like he’s using a grip customary for pistols rather than revolvers, where he is putting the thumb of his left hand near the forcing cone where it could get injured. I don’t suspect for a minute that Rob Leatham visits the pages of this blog, but could someone explain what he’s doing and why it’s okay?
Well, I guess I didn’t see this one coming. Kydex holsters for a number of different revolver designs.
When revolvers had safeties. Hmm … don’t think I like the idea. No, not at all.
Ruger SP101 review. Ruger is making very nice revolvers these days, and I would carry this gun for personal defense in a heartbeat. It doesn’t look nearly as pretty as the Ruger GP100 Match Champion, but then again, you can’t conceal a GP100 Match Champion. I do think they should have made the entire grip that nice looking wood rather than embedding it in the rubber grips.
I still want someone – anyone – with personal knowledge to give me a story of someone in OIF or OEF (Iraq or Afghanistan theaters) carrying a revolver rather than a pistol.
