Some things just never seem to vanish with time, such as it is with revolvers. Although many in the law enforcement and military communites have adopted the wide spred use of semi-autos as duty weapons, revolvers continue to advance in strength, bore diameters, and more powerful cartridge chambers.
The mechanics of operating a revolver is fairly simple, requiring no external safeties to disengage prior to firing, and loading is self explanatory. Idiot proof safety bars have been incorporated into lockwork systems to prevent the firing pins from resting on primer caps, rendering the revolver more user friendly and safe.
For those who commanded more shots in a Six shooter, the call was answered with seven and eight shooters.
There is nothing automatic about the moving parts of a revolver, each cartridge is advanced in the chamber by the rearward movement of the trigger, which rotates the cylinder, cocks, and releases the hammer. All the mechanics in the fire control system is controlled by the trigger finger and the brain.
The trigger engagement can be operated through a two stage or single stage stroke, depending on how the action is set. The hammer can be manually cocked, for precision shooting, or it can be fired through a rapid sequence of double action single stage strokes for multi target engagements or follow ups.
In a sense, a double action revolver is an all purpose handgun fitting the needs for target shooting, hunting, self defense, or developing basic shooting skills.
That is a little about what I like about revolvers.
