Revolvers

[Zastava-Arms]

Man, I have always loved revolvers. I was reading about the taurus raging bull, and I suddenly had the urge to make a topic with some pictures and info on some BADASS revolvers. To my annoyance, I dont really know much about revolvers, so it would be cool and id REALLY appreciate it if somebody gave me some cool facts on revolvers [Like stopping power].

Hope you guys enjoyed, it took me a while to put this together with my painfully slow internet :roll:

Revolvers are limited by capacity, usually 6 rounds & the time it takes to reload. Positives are great strength for size vs auto loaders. .357 Mag vs 357 Sig, beyond that (cartidge power wise)the auto tend to get huge in a hurry, revolvers do too when you get into rediculouse things larger than .44 Magnum. 1911 Colt is a far better package than a Single Action Army .45 Peacemaker revolver, & 40 S&W far better than a 38-40.
