Young People Like REVOLVERS?! - S&W Combat Magnum Review

[@rmax2]

I've always loved revolvers, my 62 year collection of revolvers is..well..substantial! However, the playing field has certainly changed, we are now faced with opponents armed with hi-cap semi-autos and substantial amounts of ammunition, when you combine that with potentially multiple opponents...I now feel very underarmed carrying my snubs. In the one-on-one robberies, parking lot encounters, etc, the revolver will stop the threat, but now I can't bring myself not to be armed with my usual Glock 19 or 23. The rule of well placed shots hasn't changed, and never will, but I must be as well armed as any opponent(s) I may encounter..

[@williamwatson4625]

If only high-capacity semi-autos are as reliable as revolvers, then revolvers would've been completely forgotten. Fact of the matter is semi-autos are still prone to jamming, feeding issues,.......... Many of them are "picky" about the brand of ammo that can be fed into them not to mention that recoil and buffer springs wear out overtime. None of these issues are present in a revolver. The only disadvantage to a revolver is less ammo capacity. With lots of practice though, one can be as quick in reloading a wheelgun as in replacing an empty magazine with a loaded one in a semi-auto.

When you know that you only have 5 or 6 rounds with a very slow reload you practice accuracy over mag dump . An old book " No second place winner " by Bill Jordan is an excellent read on gun fighting and practical use of a revolver .

[@NightwoodGuns]

But what if you practice accuracy AND mag dump with a high-cap wonder-pistol? 🤔 I love that book, by they way. The whole reason we were blessed with K-frame magnums was because of Bill Jordan 👍

[@joejohnson4183]

@@NightwoodGuns So start watching officer involved shootings videos and tell me that people that mag dump are accurate . Officer mag dumps suspect, suspect hit once or suspect shot numerous times and is only wounded . Sadly the semi auto with high cap mags have led to mag dumps rather than accurate fire in real life shootings . I was fortunate to have met Bill Jordan and saw one of his exhibition shooting events when I was a kid . One of the things I have always kept with me was he used to say the quickest reload is a 2nd gun and he carried a bobbed hammer S&W 5 shot revolver in his back pocket that he had leather lined . And I carried a S&W model 36 and then a model 60 to a model 640 or 642 in an ankle rig both on & off duty and still do to this day .

[@NightwoodGuns]

@@joejohnson4183 I hear what you are saying. But I’m not talking about officers with an 80% miss-rate who have to qualify once a year with their pistol. If someone applies the same fundamentals with a semi-auto as with a revolver, you could perform an accurate Bill-drill on a threat and have 12 rounds left in the mag for his buddies. No reload or gun-change required. Regardless, it is my belief that a wheelgun will get you out of most situations with ease. That’s so cool that you were able to meet Bill Jordan! He was an absolute legend. Thank you for sharing that story and for passing along his wisdom 👍

[@rbm6184]

@@NightwoodGuns If a person is mag dumping then they are not concerned about being responsible for every round that leaves their gun or the lawyer attached to every bullet. But the defensive gun owner is concerned about it. Criminals could care less about the law. We had better be accurate regardless of capacity. Capacity should never be used as an excuse for poor marksmanship.

[@Taegashi]

⁠you’re missing the point my guy. It only makes sense that if you can maintain both accuracy and the ability to pull the trigger as fast as possible, that’s a dual threat. Why wouldn’t you want to train to the point where you can be fast and accurate? You are stating all or nothing statements. Saying that “a person mag dumping is not concerned with being responsible” is not a true statement. Brett alone is evidence enough of that (many others too like Garand Thumb, Lucas Botkin, any professional competition shooter). Also a “defensive gun owner is concerned about [being responsible for every round]” is an all or nothing statement. There are plenty of police reports and videos online that show that there are plenty of gun owners who had every intention of using their firearms defensively and ended up hurting unintended targets, police included. Just take a look through Active Self Protections channel. Ultimately I feel like we care about the same thing which is training and that’s great. But also with training you can be both accurate and fast. That’s the goal. To be only good at one thing whether it be all accuracy with no speed, and all speed with no accuracy, will result in a bad day for you. You’ll either be dead or someone your protecting end up dead because you weren’t fast enough, or you’ll end up hurting unintended targets or dead yourself cause you missed your intended target.

I’m in my early 60’s. All my LEO friends are retiring but - like you - 90% of them started out with a 4” S&W model 19. A few started later on with an L frame, but thousands of police men and woman used that revolver with total confidence. As an FYI, I carried (and still occasionally carry) a 3” model 65. Best “fighting revolver” ever!

[@sisleymichael]

I am 65. I love revolvers. I love single and double action. I have one particular Ruger Super Blackhawk 44 mag with 7.5" inch that is a tack driver. I run specials almost exclusively through it. It tames all recoil down to almost none. At 50yds, 3" groups can be had in slow fire. I always walk around the yard and in the house with a Smith 637 j-frame Airweight. (yes, I house carry). My wife keeps a Smith Model 19-5 4" by her side of the bed. My most favorite revolver is a Ruger Security Six 4". I used to carry that gun for a few decades. I now carry a G19. We live in south Texas on a ranch. With the border invasion in full swing, revolvers have taken a backseat to high-capacity semiautos, both ARs and handguns. The illegals coming onto the ranch are not like of days of old. They are dangerous. They try to hot wire vehicles, steal things, and have committed a ton of other crimes against residents down here. In another time, revolvers were fine for protection. They still are, as long as you have enough rounds. I still carry that j-frame in a pocket holster as a backup.

Sir, I have found that a S&W Airweight model 38 J frame is handy as the hammer is shrouded on each side, but you can still thumb-cock the hammer for longer range shooting. Mine is pretty accurate.

[@frankbutta9344]

I carry a few revolvers: S&W 642, 2.5” S&W 686+, 4” S&W 686+, and a 4.25” Colt Python. The sticky cartridge issue is only a problem with brass cased ammo, and after getting the chambers dirty. That’s not likely to be a problem in an actual self defense situation. I carry the 642 in my pants/jacket pocket, and my hand can be on it without anyone noticing. If 5 armed guys jump out of a van, it’s just not going to be a good day for you. Avoid the shady Stop n Rob places at night, and your chances of not getting into a jam drop significantly. Most importantly in those situations, seek cover immediately. Good Video! 👍👍👍

[@sombra6153]

I picked up a 66-1 four inch years ago. It was allegedly a left coast cop’s gun until someone got the wonder 9 fever. Someone had done some really nice work on the action and purportedly aligned the forcing cone. It is recessed but not pinned. I have toyed with the idea of cutting the barrel to 3 inches or swapping for a 2 1/2 and having the back strap reshaped to round butt, but then again, it’s nice as it is. As it is, short barrel 19/66s can still be had, although at a fair more amount of money. Winchester Silvertip 145 grain might be a good carry round to consider. Not as brutal as the old 125s. The Safariland speed loaders are fast, but my experience packing a wheel gun in dusty environments had them getting packed full of dust and not releasing the rounds no matter how hard you press.

[@NightwoodGuns]

That’s cool! If you have a 66-1 with recessed chambers but no pinned barrel, it could be a transition gun. Those are always neat 😎👍 Sounds like a sweet wheelgun! Thanks for the tip about the Safariland speedloaders, btw

Great revolver content! I love revolvers, and I typically carry an Airweight J-Frame of some iteration because it's just so easy. As far as reloads, I wish I could remember who, but someone once said, "The definition of optimism is thinking you will reload a revolver in a gunfight." That said, I use a left-handed reload. While not necessarily faster, I find that, for myself, it's much less fumble prone. I know this sounds counterintuitive, but I'm no Jerry Miculek, and I find that juggling a revolver back and forth takes up a lot of my available bandwidth. The method I use is probably the best I've found from a neuromotor perspective, and that's the de Bethencourt non hand transfer method. A quick search should lead to a video demonstrated by Mr. Michael de Bethethencourt himself, if anyone is interested.

I forgot about it until one day I thought about it a month ago. Called my son and, to my amazement, he said he still had it and would bring it back to me. After all those decades it is almost perfect showing only the slightest bit of wear. I agree with you about how amazing this gun is and I am lucky to have it back!

By the way, I've seen a lot of criticism of the reliability of moonclips (I can't use them anyway, that's for the 586 L-COMP) so keep that in mind.
