Young wheelgunners sound off.

[inccwchris]

I got a surprising reaction today when I was talking to a guy from work on the phone today when I expressed excitement over my new S&W M&P 38 special, postwar model. Its a solid shooter, good reliable round, and one of my favorite guns that has joined my collection. He was absolutely flabbergasted that a youngin like me had a love for wheelguns. So that being said, where are the other young 20 somethings at that carry and love our wheelguns?

I do likes me some wheel guns, but sonny, I ain't been "20 something" for better than 30 years now.

Then again, who cares? I've always said,

Age is mostly a matter of mind. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

I left my 20 somethings a few months ago but I think I'm close enough to count. Love my Colt .357 for woods walking and my LCR for EDC.

i dont got a revolver yet but im after a 4inch stainless security six since Ive been 21 for 4 days glad to see im not alone

 

[lucky4034]

I don't own one, but I'm seriously considering a lightweight .38 for conceal carry. The only thing stopping me is my ever lasting quest for the ever elusive CZ Rami DB 9mm

 

[inccwchris]

Go for that security six, I have a 4 and 6 inch blued model and I love them both. I inherited the 4 inch from my grandfather and the 6 inch was a present from my mother.

I'm 24 years old, and my EDC is a Ruger Gp100 and a S&W 642. An interesting note, according to my GP100's serial number, it was made in 1988, the same year I was born.

I carry most autos, but I do love a good revolver. Unfortunately ended up parting with a few, but still got my goodies:

S&W Model 19-3
S&W Regulation Police
Webley-Scott Mk IV

My first revolver was ,is a ruger security six 4"ss I received it when I was 16 and still have it and shoot it and I an now 51 very tuff gun mine has over 30,000 round through it and still shoot very well 75% of them were lead.

I have more revolvers than autoloaders.

Smith & Wesson 19-3
Smith & Wesson 19-6
Smith & Wesson 642-2

There's just something about a wheelgun.

Me too! And most of mine are single actions!

Recently rediscovered the comforting feel of a 4" S&W 65-2 tucked into my belt when I grabbed it to go to breakfast with Wednesday morning. Had gotten away from it to carry a SR40c but...just plain felt better with the .357 with me.

 

[OiRadio47]

Just turned 30, but still carry my S&W M&P360. Would like to get a larger .357 in the future for range fun.

 

[Glockowner]

I still have a couple years left as a "20 something". I started out as a semi-auto only guy, but I fell in love with the GP100 I purchased two years ago. It will not be my last wheel gun, I would really like to have a j-frame.

 

[kawtech87]

I'm 25, and a Ruger LCR .357 is in my pocket or on my person more often than almost any other gun I own.

Ive also got a S&W 4" Highway Patrolman that used to be my uncles

And a S&W 686+ that is my woods gun.

I've always wanted a Ruger .357 Blackhawk.

Plenty of wheelgun love from me.

My daughter dearly loves shooting my S&W 66. So much so, that her boyfriend bought her one of her own. She is 22, and an ER trauma nurse.

686 with 3" barrel. Or, if you want a classic carry, Model 66, which is possibly the finest revolver ever built.

I have to say I got a little choked up reading this post...Keep the spirit of the revolver alive young people...There is beauty in the combination of simplicity and lethality...Kudo's to you all for seeing it....

Welcome to the dark side....We have cookies and stag grips....

My first revolver...Got it when I was 17 years and won that itty, bitty trophy with it in my first bowling pin match...Ah the 80's

 

[chibicascade]

I love my revolver, but it isn't something I want to carry. I have a 6 inch model 19-3.

If I could get a model 13 with a 3 inch barrel, I'd have it on me every day.
(If anyone wants to let go of theirs, let me know)

This picture reminds me, for some reason, of my Grandfather.

And I have to ask, Does a man really need anything more than this for EDC?

Thanks for that nice little memory. My grandfather died when I was very young and the content of his pockets would've been very similar on any given day.
