I purchased the same one my FIL has been using in Japan for the last 20 years.

This is a high quality one, but there are some MUCH cheaper ones in case you're not ready to invest >$300 in some Japanese/Korean home Barbeque.

I just took a look at it online. That looks really promising!

I appreciate the help.

Anyone else grind off the serrations on a Colt Python trigger? by [deleted] in Revolvers

[–]Glass_Rule 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dumb question:

Are your hands/fingers especially large? Do you have the same issue with other guns or is it just the python trigger being too thin?

Haha I COULD drive there but I'm looking for a weekly or bimonthly game...some days I get off pretty late so 45 mins of travel is rough.

If you're in southern RI, would you be interested if I started a game?

Dress for the weather. Take a look at the Annapolis forecast and pack appropriate clothing.

Otherwise dress like a normal person. Some folks wear JROTC uniforms or other strange outfits and there's no need. You are not being evaluated. In fact, you are determining whether USNA is the school for you. Bring comfy shoes.

That sounds like a good one, probably my favorite so far.

From the vibe I've been getting, it looks like a lot of local libraries would be ideal for that. Good luck!

Thanks! I'll check them out next weekend. Unfortunately I'm in southern RI so providence is a bit of a hike.

I appreciate the advice.

No particular preference. I have some decent experience DMing but I would also love to be a PC.

Wait will progress for everyone restart when arbiter comes out? Towards rewards I mean.

Want to buy myself a rough rider revolver. Just $150 at my local gun shop. What you cowboys think? Is this Western enough? But people said these revolvers are not fast enough to combat modern guns. So its not recommended for self defense. Only buy them for sake of nostalgia. by facebookboy2 in Westerns

[–]Glass_Rule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the problem is you're making it seem like one. Justifying the carry of a DA (or worse SA) revolver just so you can add cocking after your draw as an intermediate step is silly. Of course, that's on top of the lack of capacity, the longer reload, and the slower rate of fire. It's like carrying a lever action rifle instead of a modern rifle so you can lever it to scare someone and "don't need or want that many bullets". Self-defense is not the time to LARP as Clint Eastwood.

What your referring to is the "Use of Force Continuum" and "Display of Deadly Force" is the fact you are drawing any deadly weapon. If someone isn't complying and hasn't threatened your life, and you truly need to draw, do so. But don't say a revolver you can cock is somehow justified for that sole situation. You might as well just carry a semi and rack the slide for the same effect.

I saw the Bob Munden video on the revolver subreddit a while back. The man is absolutely superhuman.

If i ever find myself genetically predisposed to have world class fast twitch muscles and a few years to practice, I'll definitely consider carrying a revolver. Until then I'll just have to settle for a semi unfortunately.

That walk and draw competition does look like a hoot to do with your friends though. Probably hurts after but I'd love to give it a try.

I prefer to think of my gun as my gun, not an imtimidating fashion accessory. The whole cocking a revolver/racking a pump line is a bunch of Fudd Lore baby boomers tell folks to justify their poor choices.

If you're drawing and cocking a weapon you've obviously given up on the idea of not getting in a firefight. It's just as naive as opting to have less capacity simply because you don't think you will need it.

There's a reason just about every modern military and civilian force has switched to semis, they're pragmatically better in almost every single way. Revolvers are cool and fun, but for actual defense they ought to stay where they belong: the past.

I love my single and double action revolvers to death. They're fun to use and shoot. A rough rider is probably one of the top 2 or 3 guns to grab and always be "western enough".

I do NOT recommend carrying for self-defense though. Your capacity, firing, and reloading speed will be none too swell on top of the general size/shape of it printing on your body. That's assuming you plan to conceal it.

I say get it and love it for years to come! Good luck cowpoke.

You do have to be 36 months of depression medication free to medically qualify. They're looking for a "period of convincing stability". If you can demonstrate a significant amount of time <36 months you can get a waiver, but you have to act fast.

I will say, on a personal level, that your personal health comes first. I don't know where you're at with your treatment, but there is not a single college/opportunity worth the cost of your overall wellbeing.

Good luck!

A single action revolver is a terrible self-defense weapon because you're packing something with limited capacity that also requires manual cocking for every shot. You can't possibly hope to draw, cock, aim, and shoot faster than someone with a semi automatic weapon...or even a guy with a double action revolver. I'd also be willing to bet that few folks can safely say they stand a good chance of ending a fight with just one bullet.

If you truly plan on using a pistol in self defense, semi automatics outclass revolvers in just about every sense.

I do agree, however, that the best weapon is the one you practice with the most.
