Why doesn't anyone make a revolver that LOOKS like the SAA but has more modern features like DA/SA trigger and swing-out cylinder?
This thing was style personified
Wouldn't complain if there was a single action with a swing out cylinder, but I imagine itd be a super niche market. But yeah, I have a single action 22, super sleek and sexy looking.
>>30372912
>A Single Action Army with a Swing out and is DA/SA
Fucking get good Hombre
>>30372912
You're not pretty good
>>30372978
>>30372912
I agree OP atleast a DA/SA trigger
>>30372989
>>30372912
But how can you improve the greatest handgun ever made?
>single action army
>double action trigger
>>30373088
Hes asking for a double action army, does it exist fugger?!
>>30373054
I realize you're borderline shitposting and I have no idea why you picked my goddamn thread (I guess because it wouldn't be 9mm lol fuk off with ur 45?), but the idea is to have a modern revolver that has the same style as a legendary piece of Americana
>>30373088
That's why I didn't say 'why don't they make a SAA that etc etc' but "why don't they make a gun that looks like a SAA etc etc'
I think I want to fucking strangle most of you.
>>30373116
>I realize you're borderline shitposting
I'm not sure what makes you think it was borderline.
I'm straight up shitposting.
>>30373100
OP here, there's a Colt M1877 which is a double action trigger but they're supposedly finicky as all hell and the trigger springs break frequently I've heard
also still an ejector rod and loading gate
>>30373163
why tho, /v/ isn't broken you can go there
>>30372912
Well it's not going to look like one anymore without the need for a loading gate, and the ejector rod being mounted through the center of the cylinder.
>>30372978
This is honestly the real answer.
If you made the changes you want, it wouldn't be or look the same. Also, saying da/sa for revolvers reveals clearly that you are retarded. They are either double action or single action.
The closest thing to what you want would be a ruger redhawk.
>>30373219
>They are either double action or single action.
are you on crack?
>>30373278
No, I just understand how the terminology works with revolvers.
>>30373219
>They are either double action or single action.
Some are double action only. Some are double action that can be fired with just a trigger pull or can be cocked manually, thus DA/SA. And some are single action only, which must be cocked manually.
>>30372912
You're asking for a ruger redhawk.
Personally I think they look like shit, and that a redhawk looks better, but I'm a huge fan of the single action pull on them, it feels like a 3lb spring when cocking the hammer on my Blackhawk, its just silly how fast you can shoot. A swing out cylinder would compromise the structural integrity of the firearm.
If they made a redhawk top half with a swing out cylinder and single action hammer, with a Blackhawk bottom with a way far back grip with the Blackhawk Hogue rubber grips, it'd be perfect.
Even then, it doesn't take that long to load a SAA if you use strips for your double action revolvers.
I've gotten quite fast at unloading and reloading with speed strips on my Blackhawk.
Best I can tell ya OP, is to get dedicated and get good. Buy some snapcaps and practice unloading/reloading.
>>30373300
most revolvers are da/sa
the dao guns tend to be snubnoses with bobbed or shrouded hammer
>>30373310
>>30373347
Congrats on knowing how revolvers work, but not the words used to describe them.
You are still using the terminology wrong. Since the vast majority of revolvers have hammers, they are referred to as being single or double action, because one can generally assume the double action ones will also be operable in single action. You are conflating automatics with revolvers.
>>30373310
What the fuck kind of rock did you crawl out from under? No one says DA/SA for double action revolvers.
>>30373310
>>30373347
>no hammer to pull back
just buy a semi auto
>>30373300
>>30373219
I meant to differentiate from DAO of which there are revolvers with unworkable hammers. But excuse me.
But if the Redhawk is the closest thing out there i guess i got an answer.
>>30373347
Those are just called hammerless or concealed/shrouded hammer, sometimes DAO. It's implicit that a revolver without an exposed hammer won't be single action.
>>30373409
The answer being if you are too stupid for words, you are too stupid for guns.
>>30373409
if you're going to get a redhawk anyways, just get the 454 one. You can shoot a real caliber like 45 colt out of it, and avoid 44 meme.
>>30373380
>>30373377
Jokes on you I was only pretending to be retarded.
But yeah, I misread the argument. Revolvers are referred to as DA or SA not both.
Why wasn't the revolver adopted as a mechanism for rifles?
>>30373442
I have owned both a 454 blackhawk and a 44 model 29 S&W.
I enjoyed both. Don't fail for the real meme of being a cartridge fanboy. Shoot many things.
>>30373400
>no hammer to pull back
Well shit now I'm all confused anon.
>>30373498
Because burning your forearms on the cylinder gap sucks, and it is always going to be bulkier than a box or tube mag.
>>30373116
You missed the reference he made. You're retarded and probably underaged. Leave.
>>30372912
High Standard made such a gun at one time, it was a nine shot number available in 22LR or 22 WMR, you can find them on gunbroker for reasonable money. http://www.gunbroker.com/item/565707975
>>30373498
cylinder gap
>>30372912
the things that make a good singleaction revolver and a good double action are mutually exclusive
with a singleaction you want the gun to roll back in your hand at which point its easier to cock. meanwhile most double actions have a hump in the grip to prevent the gun from rolling back.
a swing out cylinder on a single action would be great.
>>30373522
>>30373498
Why did it take 100 years and some Brazilians to figure out the incredibly obvious solution to that issue, is the real question
>>30373564
Because everyone else realized that even if you solved it, you still ended up with a rifle inferior to any lever, bolt, or semi auto gun? Therefore it was left to people who would produce it banking on restrictive legislation and novelty to sell it?
>>30373564
Why not just make a revolver sphere, that moves in an X and then cross orbit to fire all rounds. If you make a decent sized sphere, you could fit 18 rounds in it. I'm having a hard time imagining the cylinder or rather sphere indexes for the central shot though, so I would stick to just 16 rounds for now.
>>30374046
That sounds goddamn retarded.
>>30373400
however,
pic related can do one thing that a semi-auto or an exposed hammer revolver can't totally be trusted to do, fire from inside a coat pocket or bag.
>>30374298
>firing a rifle that's inside of your pocket
wut
only a revolver can reliably shoot from a pocket, because there is no slide to jam it.
>>30373195
i think if they totally fixed the internals of the Lightning and could figure out how to give it a swing-out cylinder without changing the looks very much that that would pretty much be what the OP is wanting. personally, i think the loading gate and ejector rod are necessary for the historic feel of those old Colts. if they could just re-release it with proper insides and a really good DA trigger i'd be a happy camper.
>>30374351
>picture of revolver
>text referencing photo of revolver
>lol you can't do that with a rifle
>>30373564
Because chain firing was a legitimate issue when revolvers were a viable military weapon.
>>30373442
>not getting 460XVR
Buying a .454 is like buying a .38 instead of .357 :^)
>>30374351
Are you retarded? What are you even responding to?
>>30372912
I remember hearing about a colt double action(I think) mocked up with a fake ejector rod housing to look like a SAA. It was to be able to shoot faster or something and was in an old western movie or tv series.
>>30373976
LOL and what about the lever action version? It only exists because places like commiefornia thought double action was too much like semiauto
>>30372912
A Spanish firearm manufacturer did just that once, but it was decades ago.
They seem to be pretty rare though... but I want one badly.
>>30372912
So you want a Non-colt double-action Civi?
I'd rather have that same idea in the even more stylish Colt 1851 navy.
>>30372912
>SAA
>swing-out cylinder
disgusting, why not use a good contemporary revolver if you're not into reloading during the battle one bullet at a time
>>30377557
Its almost like he doesn't like the feeling of slamming a long, silver bullet into a well greased chamber.
>>30377615
So how many times do you think Ocelot and BB fucked?
>>30373564
There were functional cartridge firing revolving rifles made in the 19th century. We don't remember them because they couldn't compete with lever action rifles.
>>30372912
The real question is why doesn't anyone make a SA revolver with select fire?
I'd buy that.
>>30378257
are you talking some old timey windup clockwork?
>>30373442
44 is a meme now?
Why didn't anyone tell me, I've been shooting my SBH for decades.
>>30378264
No dude.
>SA
>Select fire
..?
