There are no best revolvers, just buy a Glock and be done with it.
Ya know I'm ever more thinking of the saying "A handgun is for fighting you way to a rifle"For up close and personal, and in a serious bubblegum storm fight, I'd have to agree.
But in a long term "worst case, last handgun I'll ever have, can't find anything else" scenario I'd take the revolver, preferably in a 45 ACP or 9mm (for ammo scrounging reasons) and as many moons as I could tuck away.
Possibly even a black hawk convertible in 357 and 9mm. Adequate for taking medium game and again, for the scrounge availability of the 9mm.
It's just too bad that it would be impossible to do with a 357 revolver what Ruger has done with their newest Redhawk 45/45.
On the street though, in real life, I'm quite content with a six gun. But, as much as I love "wheelies", if knowingly going into a real fight, I'd take the Glock too.
I think a six shooter,or and 8 shooter is fine till you get to your rig for the rifle.
Most gun fights used to be 2.5 rounds. Not including the gand land fights,I would guess they are about the same these days.
So what ever gun you can place the shots the best is the gun to carry.
2 or 3 well placed shots from a wheel gun would probably stop a few guys from advancing,whether from being hit or seeing their crew hit the ground
