I never really liked revolvers. Too much kickback, not enough rounds, a low rate of fire. No thanks. I just love the looks of most .45 pistols, especially the Colt M1911, like this one:
Or the USP .45:
They're both effective and simple, ok that M1911 is pretty damned stylish as well, but the guns themselfs are just simple, effective weapons. All those massive revolvers just feel like penis extensions.

That is possibly the most ghetto low-tech firearm I've ever seen in my life.MaxMees said:What would the Welrod come under?
It's just so British and cool!
Oh wait, a Welrod? Hm, thought they were bigger (in a sense)
I'm not a gun person either, but since I watched Trigun, if there's any weapon I would choose, it's the Mateba Autorevolver. It fires from the Six O'Clock chamber instead of the 12:
That's not a revolver, that's a fucking anti-aircraft gun.Xandus117 said:
It depends. If i'm in a warzone,and my life depends on it,probably normal pistol. But if i get teleported into action movie (or simply get to star in one),it's definetly revolver. Revolvers are shinier. Revolvers are cooler. Revolvers Are Just Better. So i voted for revolver.
And then,some fuckwit accuses me of overcompensation...

...but does it really matter? I've got a revolver!

...apart from the Browning 9mm Hi-Power mk III, on which John Moses Browning based the design of the .45 pistol that became the 1911, 1911A1 and so on.lolmynamewastaken said:
To those of you going for revolvers because they fire such big rounds, isn't the Desert Eagle .50 AE [http://www.magnumresearch.com/Expand.asp?ProductCode=DE50] enough?
Unless you're an amazingly good shot and trying to take out a hostage-taker on the far side of the street, accuracy boils down to how well you shoot with that weapon.
At 25 metres this little chunk of steel can put a group the size of a lady's palm into a non-threatening paper target:
If you want that length with bigger bullets, we're back to Magnum Research:
If you're actually trying to be accurate, of course, you want a two-handed weapon.
One big advantage of a revolver, as mentioned above, is that you can fire shorter, less powerful rounds from it. They're cheaper, the recoil's lighter, the weapon's still scary and, as Harry points out, the heavier weapon is more stable:
Yeah, oops?
Overall, for design, manufacturer, model, calibre, power, bullet type and everything else, the most effective one is the one with which you can most reliably hit your target.
...
Oh, and gold plating? Rather expensive way to rust-proof a gun, but hey, it works.
Why do the majority of people here seem to have a thing for magnum weapons? I actually don't know which I would pick since it's not like I ever go to a shooting range. A revolver would be cool to hang somewhere though.
