This may be to broad and I may make two threads for gun and blade.
I'm not asking what you own. I don't like the idea of posting online what guns you own for the world to see.
It just screams not wise to me.
Anyway this thread is about what you have owned and by your experience what you would prefer to own be it for home defense, plinking, just because, etc.
For example; I'm comfortable saying I own a Ruger Single Six revolver. It's a peacemaker style. I haven't fired it, yet but all review are this is a good gun.
Reliable, powerful with the .22 mag. Though by my understanding it's not a home defense fire arm. Not that it wouldn't be good as a home defense arm.
But you load it with a plate the slides out, while the cylinder stays in place. However, this can be viewed as a blessing as it forces you to slow down and pick you shots.
This gun is accurate and reliable being sold since 1953 is still popular. It's probably the best trainer for Beginners to intermediate shooter; it uses .22LR/.22Mag round which are cheap compared to other gun rounds. Also, you can easily swap the two Cylinders by simple pressing a button just forward of the cylinder, pullling the cylinder housing pin out, and swapping the cylinders. You don't see that kind of simplicity these days.
I can get bullets for anywhere from $7.00-$14.00 though mag rounds are a little harder to come by.
The gun itself looks to be asking $350 to $450 used to $450 to $600 used.
Note: 1973 and they change the trigger and hammer by adding a transfer bar mechanism which prevent the hammer from making contact with the firing pin.
1973 and earlier the hammer had four cocking positions when pulling it back.
Prior to 1973
First **** position- Fully down
Second **** position- Safe
Third **** postion- releases cylinder to spin for reloading.
last is firing position.
1973 and after.
The cylinder spins with hammer in fully down position. (-much safer with the cylinder bar.)
It is used in competition shooting to great effect with barrel length options from 4-5/8", 6-1/2" and 9-1/2"
Note I could be wrong with the date of the mechanism switch. I'll do more research and edit later if so.
Anyway this is a superb gun for any collection.
Now I would like to learn what firearms y'all are familiar with. It don't have to be a review like I posted though it does help show why you love said gun or whatever weapon your posting.

Also I had a bow.
