Is 6 enough for self defence?
I'm interested about getting a carry on and I have a fetish for revolvers
Thoughts about ammo type and it doing the job ?
>>28329262
158gr gold dot is my preference
6 is fine
carry a speed loader and practice your reload often if you have doubts
the one in your pic holds 8 though
I could be wrong, but im pretty sure the "largest" round you can legal carrry in a pistol is .45acp.
If i had a wheel gun id go .357 magnum, or .460 s&w
That being said-pending someone knowing if im wrong or not- it doesnt make sense to only cary 6 rounds with modern double stack mags. But ya, 6 should do it with 1-2 aggressors.
Smexy
If you manage to shoot like a guy from the gign yes.
I carry my Webley, and I have no problems
betta judged by 11+1 than carry by 6 to be honest desu
>>28329301
You are full of shit.
>>28329301
Where the fuck do you live? There is no caliber limit in the US.

Barrel no larger than .45
Does that include .45colt and .460 rowland?
>>28329338
Yesssss
I wanted to post that but I didn't want to be called a fag
Was wanting to get one in .357 and have it as a carry on
>>28329393
that's for oklahoma only. why the fuck would you assume OP is in oklahoma?
>>28329262
>>28329660
>carry on
that gun is in battlefield hardline
and to answer your question OP, it depends on your aim and your attackers
theoretically 6 shots can take down 6 attackers if you hit each one square in the chest, and you're unlikely to be attacked by a group of more than 6 attackers unless you're some kind of kingpin
however, i'd still be happier with 19 rounds of 9mm if i'm going to be carrying a heavy piece of hardware (pic related)
i guess the appeal of revolvers is that youre not spraying brass everywhere, otherwise i don't see the point.

forgot pic
steyr gb, the best 9mm pistol ever made
>>28329301
lol, wut?
>>28329338
But to be related to the topic, I was thinking about getting a little snubby Chiappa Rhino with a 2" barrel for EDC. What do you guys think?
>>28329992
Have fun with your expensive laser pistol.
>>28329660
If you don't care about the semi auto, the chiappa rhino is still in production and looks better IMO
>>28329992
I've heard bad things about the Chiappa Rhino's trigger pull and that theoretically that the extra string of mechanics that let the trigger work with the six-o-clock barrel could be prone to unreliability, but I've never had my hands on one or really looked inside one before. If someone with more experience/knowledge with them wants to address that that'd be nice.
>>28329393
I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Oklahoma was founded by anti gun feminists.
>>28330045
The mechanism is to allow you to pull the fake hammer like you would a real one. having a hidden hammer strike the 6 o'clock barrel isn't difficult
>>28330011
I don't know what this means.
>>28330045
Are you talking about pic related? I used to hate on the Rhino for its false hammer and gorillion actions to actually fire, but been called a retard in the past because "lol it's no more complicated that a regular revolver, dummy!"
Real man here. Revolvers are tactically obsolete. They have low capacity, high reload times and are harder to use because double action triggers have a hefty trigger pull.
>>28329262
Yes, I think revolvers are fine. But I don't own one because revolvers with a barrel of decent length are expensive.
>>28330168
A handgun is a handgun, not a rifle. Any extra range that you get from the longer barrel would probably be wasted because of the inherent inaccuracies of handgun shooting stances.
>not using a black powder revolver for home defense.
>>28329301
No gunz, please at least lurk moar before spouting nonsense
>>28330295
The sad thing is that I have never touched anything stronger than an air rifle and I often come into advice threads to give my opinion. I can't help myself.
>>28330354
>he's never fired a gun before
>>28330431
Air rifles are still guns, you know.
>>28329262
6 is fine, there are plenty of modern carry guns that sell themselves as the perfect tacticool ccw and only hold that. Its usually more of an issue of comfort and size though
with revolver you struggle with weight, unless you carry something like pic related and potentially a slow reload. Get a good holster for it if you do
>>28330354
So people can laugh at you? Why?
>>28330295
Nonsense my ass. I dont know every single states fucking gun laws. I live in oklahoma, i know oklahoma, i was right in saying what i said.
>>28330508
If it's not federal law don't mention it dumbass
Nobody cares about your backwards ass shitstain of a county
>>28330508
As a fellow Okie, you're wrong. You can carry up to a .45 caliber. Nothing about the actual cartridge.
>>28330461
Not according to law ;^)
>>28330526
>county
Aussie Aussie Aussie
>>28330526
County?
Im the dumb ass. Im done. Spitting out the bait, walking away.
>>28330536
So
Anything with a .45 caliber bullet?
>>28330102
No,there not fag. Learn to shoot.
>>28330565
Yessir. Though they have other laws about "rifle cartridge pistols" if you're thinking of any rifle rounds.
>>28329262
No. Carry a double stack 9mm instead.
>>28330087
Woah I never thought about the hammer relation to which cylinder that fires from before is the hammer just for show?
>>28330102
>hefty trigger pull.
I sort of like a longer trigger pull on semi-auto rifles.
>>28330638
>is the hammer just for show?
Yes. The hammer is a false hammer.
>>28330673
Its not just for show
Its there so you can use the gun in single action
but the hammer you see isnt the real hammer, it just actuates the hammer. see the pic above
>>28330706
Right. It's a false hammer.
>>28330751
false hammer to me sounds like you're saying that its just for show and doesnt serve a purpose
>>28329262
Six is fine. What you posted has eight.
>S&W 327 Thunder Ranch .357 Magnum.
>Like being bitch slapped by God.
>Eight times.
>>28330795
desu (To be honest), I actually did mean it to serve no purpose. Your post about letting me use the gun in single action is pleasant news to me that I never considered.
I kind of took the tangent argument about a false hammer meaning it's just a piece of plastic that, in and of itself, means diddly fuckall in actually firing the weapon.
>>28329446
.44 Magnum, 45 Colt+P, .454 Casull, .460 Rowland, as well as .460 Magnum.
Don't you just love arbitrary bullshit made up by people who have no practical understanding of firearms..
>>28330852
Arbitrary bullshit. Hmmm.
>>28330846
>desu (To be honest)
You just got fucked by the filter.
>>>28330431
>Air rifles are still guns, you know.
Right, and masturbating is still sex
>>28330879
Well, it is. .460 S&W Magnum pretty much outperforms every other handgun cartridge except .500 Magnum. And that includes several .50 caliber cartridges such as .50AE and .500 JRH.
never enough
>>28331023
>implying that wasn't planned, hence the (To be honest) parentheses
>>28329262
>>28330586
I have both a .357 six-shooter and a double-stack 9mm, and would trust either for self defense - that said, I'd prefer the 9mm for defense against humans and the .357 against wild animals.
>>28329262
>asking if revolvers, having 6 rounds, are good enough
>posts the image of the one eight round revolver
>>28331774
How about we split the difference and go with 7?
Long barrels= Small dicks
>>28329262
OP's pic holds 8.
>>28330102
