Young wheelgunners sound off.

[Gman75]

I got my first one for Christmas this year from my wife. Ruger GP100 Wiley Clapp. I must have been a real good boy last year!

 

[seldon14]

Don't carry one, but have thought about adding a carry revolver, or getting a holster for my 64.

I've had a Ruger Blackhawk that I got for my birthday when I was in my early 20s. Still in my 20s and fell in love with Smith Revolvers 2 years ago when I snagged a model 19 simply because it was cheap. Grabbed a trade in 64 for cheap too. Love Smith now. Pretty fond of the wife's SP101 as well.

well...I bought my first wheel gun when I was in my 20s, but I left that age bracket almost a decade ago. It was a Taurus 617, and it often still sees the light of day.

 

[roadrunner681]

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.

ya my grandfather has a blued 4 inch as well that thing is as slick as greased lightning, since ive never shot a auto pistol that wasn't a 22 a revolver makes more since for me since that what im experienced with, besides i can use 38s as well i like options like that.

 

[zoglog]

The first pistol I bought at 21 was a S&W 357. Since then, I have only purchased one more revolver, but I still have 6 years left until I am out of my 20's!!

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....

That Webley is AMAZING! I'd love to be able to be able to find a short barreled Webley mk. V or VI in .455.

 

[RustyHornet]

Only 20 here and don't have one yet, but another 6 months and ill be 21 and buying myself a gp100! Always loved the wheel guns lots more than semi autos, maybe I'm just old fashioned, but why fix what's not broken?

 

[Archbishop]

In my mid 30s but I own several wheel guns and semis. If they go bang I want to shoot them it's that simple. Love my Taurus 617 357 mag 7 shots.

20 and I carry a revolver, 3" Nickel Rossi 69. My first handgun as well. I did not plan on getting one, but I do really like it. They are very interesting I think.

I am waiting for my refund, then I will be getting a G#21.

I don't see how being under 21 is stopping any of you from buying and carrying. You can still buy from individuals, and you can still ask someone to gift one to you from an FFL

$$$$.... Come refund time I will be doing just that, a smaller .38 or .357 for carry. Just saving the gp100 for a special gift to myself to never forget my 21st. I don't plan on getting drunk on my 21st (I have a terrible memory as it is), I'll be hitting the range to put as many rounds through that gp100 as I can afford!

Ruger red hawk Alaskan 454 casul gets carried when I feel like I need a pick me up. Only in the winter thou kinda to large to carry daily though

 

[chilly2477]

35 now but I've been carrying a 38. 5 shot compact revolver since I was 28. Its my favorite to carry and I own a semi-auto pistol.

 

[SSGSAD]

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.

YES, this, S/A, and D/A .....

 

[Justin727]

21 here and carry a Smith & Wesson model 642-2!! Love it

+1
7 shots, snub nose, concealed hammer, and ported. I thought about selling mine once, but I'm glad I didn't

 

[Jeremiah]

26, and I've sold my m37, m19, m65, and m66.

Currently have an m57, m610, and a Dan Wesson .22lr.
Would like a Dan Wesson .41 blued with 4"
Hv , and a m65 "

Left my 20's a couple of years ago but... I have a Taurus 441, .44spl as a woods companion. It rides nicely on a medium brown leather belt, matching leather Bianchi holster, and two matched leather speed loader holders. One of these days I hope to find a Marlin 1894p so I have ammo commonality while camping, hunting, etc.

 

[ryan3030]

I enjoy shooting wheelguns too, but limiting yourself to 6 rounds of carry ammo when you can carry 13 in a smaller package is just silly.

Great guns for recreation, there are better options for carry these days.

He was absolutely flabbergasted that a youngin like me had a love for wheelguns.
