Whats the best kind of revolver? POLL

[nammac]

Have you ever stretched out one of those 2 and a 1/2 inch barrel guns at a 100 yd? It's actually quite surprising how accurate they are. Especially if you're shooting off a bench once you find the aiming point.

I can honestly say I've not pushed them quite that far, not yet. I do know they've got some serious accuracy with a load they like. Even out at distance.

I've gone 25-30 yards with the 642 and 148 gr hbwc's, and have been impressed and surprised. Always thought of those 2" .38's as close up, give 'em powder burns type of guns. But with careful trigger work and, as you say, bench rested, they're surprising.

With the right load, it can actually be quite shocking. I think the limiting factor is the combat sites and old eyes. . I've got a load with 700 X out of my model 36 3 inch that is indescribably good. Fixed sites, all black what the heck?

Out of all my revolvers I'll nominate the SW 627-5 as best.

8 times 357 Magnum is stamped right on the side

Excellent point. Though the kind that breaky-open can be fun too.

I've always (well, past 10 years) wanted one, I think it'll be my next purchase. Now, what brand to buy?

9mm semis are practical and fun, but after so many you realize they have no soul; Yes, I'm old!
