    Coincidentally, I just came across these spaghetti guns on reddit, and thought it'd fit here. They're quite different than some of the traditional fair, but I can kind of dig the modern mix.

    Those are interesting. Is anyone importing them?

    I like both revolvers and pistols. I even have an unfired H&R 929 22lr revolver all the way up to a S&W 29-2 and lots in between of different manufacturers. My problem is I love all firearms and just keep looking to feed the addiction. Skiney, I do love Lacricia. Sure is "Purdy". The single action revolvers in 45 Colt are my downfall as well.

    Thanks for the air time.

    Thanks she's as sweet as Pralines:}

    Have loved them all, ever since I was a kid. Single action, double action revolvers , self-loaders , single shots...they are all good. For some reason I do like shooting revolvers, I guess the S&W are my "favorites" but they are like children...you have to love them ALL.

    The only gun I didn't like was a Berretta Tomcat in 32 acp...it was a stinker..nothing like a Walther PPK in 32 acp. Traded that rascal in on a Smith & Wesson Airweight, took a nice loss and was glad to see it go.

    I love S&W. Hell I even love my more recent 29-10 that everyone hates on with the lock. I enjoy the quality level of smith's colts and rugers. I'm not a fan of Taurus revolvers just due to personal bad exp. I'll buy and sell glocks xd's or M&P's all day long but Once I get my hands on a nice revolver they never go anywhere. I hope my children enjoy them someday with their children on range trips. Quality revolvers have a real (pass it down) feel and sometimes look even better a little beat up.

    as u can c from my "handle" I LOVE wheelguns. Best thing about a wheelgun is if you need to grab it in the dark of night it will always go bang without fiddling with a safety or wondering if a round is racked. Keep em loaded and keep em close. I just changed my bedside companion to my Smith 625-4 in .45 acp. With a full load and 2 full moon clips of Hydrashocks I feel all warm and fuzzy (and safe). Nothing against semi-autos (LOVE 1911s) in fact I just love most guns.

    I concur, sir......

    Bought a revolver once just to try to get into them, ended up selling it. They look cool but they have no practical advantage over a semi-auto for me.

    As much as it'll rustle some jimmies here I consider them all but obsolete.

    Different strokes for different folks. I love revolvers, although I only own 1. I'd love to have a ruger super red hawk alaskan one day, if they weren't so expensive.

    Love a revolver for its reliability, pull trigger gun goes bang every time, that is why one sits on my night stand in .357 dressed in Crimson Trace
