Im a jinx to modern pistols, every automatic Ive ever fired has jammed on me.
Ill take my beloved .44 calibur revolver. She's a beauty.

Now we need to size the chambers to fit 9MM bullets, replace 6 chambered revolver for an 8 chambered, replace the hammer action with lever action, and throw in a scope, then we'll be in business. For the revolving rifle I mean.berethond said:
Meh, modern guns are better if looking for any actual use but for a day of fun, go with the old sixer.
USP is based on the 1911 so i thouhght i'd best go for the original. it was a hard choice thoughWadders said:Well I care, I wouldn't have mentioned it otherwiseNoMoreSanity said:Damn you Google Image Search!Wadders said:I hate to be a killjoy, but the gun pictured is for .500NoMoreSanity said:I'd have a .44 Magnum.
It says so on the side.
But who cares? Here's a better pic anyway.
And that second pic is far superior
But Gary, what about the USP? I know you love itlolmynamewastaken said:hell yes, find me a classier gun and i'll beat you round the head with it until you relise you're wrongsoren7550 said:Hell yes, that's my pick right there!lolmynamewastaken said:
Colt M1911
I was torn between it and the M1911 for mine, but I went with the USP in the end. I even used that sexeh pic we found on the interenets
Um no not reallyXero Scythe said:
OT: For general recreation shooting (at the range, varmint etc.) I prefer the feel of the revolvers I've tried to the automatics I've tried. That being said I plan on purchasing at least one of both at some point and am unsure which I'd choose as my carrying gun since they both have their advantages. Also the term "modern" is not really the right way to say . Plenty of revolvers are considered modern and automatics date back to the turn of (the last) century.
In my opinion, revolvers are for people who take style over functionality.
People who like the Desert Eagle are people who don't know about it's >2KG weight, tiny clip, expensive bullets, jamming issues and painful recoil.
Personally, I'll take a Browning High-power (or a Colt 1911, but that's been discussed). Extemely reliable 9mm pistol with a 13-round magazine.

you all talk about its functionality, show me a gun where all you have to do is hear it and see it, and you will run screaming
You can if you're a fan of Sudden Impact. He lost the revolver and switched to "the forty-four Magnum automatic, and correctly used, it can remove the fingerprints." There's a lovely moment when one of three hoodlums freezes, stares up the street for a moment and swears, and the camera switches to a silhouette of Harry with a ludicrously big pistol in his hand and about down to his knee.Cajt said:
Judging by release dates of the Desert Eagle and that film and the fact the Desert Eagle was the first, I assume that's what it was.
AussieSniper: I liked that Browning when I fired one. No malfunctions, tight groups, good feel, no issues with recoil or brass.
Michael_ab: I presume you're talking about a pump-action shotgun.
It's a 28, but it still works, yes?
