Revolver or Pistol

Well, if there two types of plane-------one to fall off the sky and another secure and reliable, one would choose the latter. So is the case with pistol and revolver. What do you say?

If one wants to make handgun a status symbol too, there are few brands of revolver to suck few lacs. This way one can exhaust his lacs without compromising with reliability. Why pistol then?

My pistol was purchased for the princely sum of INR 15/- (yep, fifteen rupees) forty odd years back... and I'd rate it higher in terms of reliability and power than any of the .32 cal pea shooters that people pay lacs of rupees for.... HOWEVER, I'm not going around calling those people idiots... notice the difference?

Rs 15/- of 40yrs ago coupled with import restrictions would make it of lacs. Not strong enough an argument perhaps-----of course on this flimsy ground you cant hold others idiot. please dont take it personally.

It was Rs.15 for my fathers .25 also.Just wish it was a .45 though.Or a broom handle mauser

Rifles,I believe, were cheaper.

There's someone out here looking for a .25 cal... get rid of yours and get a decent calibre in stead!

Somehow, I never did like the broomhandles.... too clunky IMHO, but then it's just a personal preference...

Shooting a pistol gives a lousy feeling. This feeling together with elegent look of pistol perhaps motivates one to go for it, even though it means compromising with reliabilty?

TROLL ALERT!

this is leading nowhere. we either seem to have been lead astray by a troll, or it's simply another unwinnable arguement betwen faith and facts. dear moderators.......how about locking the thread?

Grumpy does not like the Savage 99,I like it.You do not like the Broom handle Mauser,I like it.Different strokes for different people.At least we are not calling each other idiots

Re. getting something more meaningful than a .25,I actually did.A .32

So from a 'feather duster' to a 'pea shooter'.Baby steps for me.Next I will get a .380,then a .38 Makarov,then a .38special,then a .357 Mag(sorry,I had one of these ),then a .44 Mag and then a .500S&W Mag........ then a 14" naval gun and then finally a bull shit revolving canon

Please,oh please,kind sir,lock this thread.

What has perhaps never happened is likely to happen here----I alone pressing for revolver, almost all others for pistol. Let the debate go on for few days more and let others join in for much clearer picture to emerge.

Have merged it with the older thread on the same topic... And penpusher if people wish to humiliate themselves in public, who am I to stop them?

So that`s what`s going on.
Thanks a bunch Abhijeet - I spent three quarters of an hour typing a response to the that revolver/pistol thread correcting a misapprehension as to the operation/efficiency of auto/semi-auto firearms ( one held by both the poster and at least one other member ) and then gave the a*$eh**l* a thorough dressing down without the use of one swear word.......and then lost the lot because the `post doesn`t exist`.
Am I fed-up ? Yes. VERY.
You`re flamin` lethal when wired on caffeine - for goodness sake slow down. Coffee obviously turns you into a despotic thread merger !
Why mix the threads anyway ? You`ve now joined a decent discussion with an ill-informed, rude and ignorant rant.
