What caliber is your favorite revolver?

38SPL HV · May 12, 2020

Poll should breakout the 38 Special as follows:

38 Special std velocity
38 Special +P
38-44

I like them all some more than others depending on my preference at the time.

.22 followed closely by .38/.357 magnum. Mostly because I've been shooting my Ruger Single Six since 1977. The center fires are Smiths. Oh, and my M-18.

.38 Special

Model 10, 64, 15, and Colt Official Police. Have more .38 special revolvers than any other caliber. Goes back to when my career in LE began in 1976. Once you carry a specific caliber revolver daily for years and your life depended on it, you are partial to it.

44 mag in a 29/629. I probably own and shoot more 357 but only because you can get them in J,K,L and N frames. 29/629 is my favorite

I would have guessed this would come out about 30% each .38/.357, .44 Special and .44 Mag. Then the other 10% divided among various calibers with .45acp making up the lions share of the 10%. Shows what I know.

That the 38 and 357 had so many votes was about what I expected. What surprised me was the 41 mag getting a few more votes than the 44 mag. And I expected more votes for 22 LR.

My .45 ACP 625-8 PC isn’t a classic, but it’s one of my favorite handguns to shoot.

Concerto55 · May 12, 2020

Very tough decision, since 44 mag is one of my fav all time rounds.

I’m going to have to go with 357 mag... just a beautiful, beautiful round it is. All time great

I love every one of my revolvers but my favorite caliber is always the last one that followed me home from a pawn shop. It changes regularly.

.44 Special- Hard to Argue with Success

I have lots of revolvers in lots of calibers, but the .44 Special, regardless of the platform, is the one that does it, and does it best for me.

.38 special Ive got 10 of them.

Kid44 · May 15, 2020

.44 magnum, with .357 close behind.

I have a .454 Casull, it is fun to shoot for about 6 rounds, then the fun is over.

32-20 for me, but your poll is incomplete at least you need an other category for us to vote.

44 Special

Rossi M720 for winter carry in a shoulder holster.
Ruger Flattop Blackhawk 44 SPL for a range toy.

Those are my favorites but honestly the 38 LCR gets carried the most.

I have a Stainless Flattop Bisley Blackhawk in .44 Special and it is fast becoming my favorite revolver.

I thought I could add categories after posting but do not see a way to do so. I must have been thinking of some other forum, probably GlockTalk. I would have added more categories if I knew I could not do so later.

But to be honest 32-20 might have been missing even if I had added more. Not saying its a bad cartridge, its just one I am not familiar with.

38 Special for me. My favorite revolvers to shoot in that caliber are a pair of 4" S&Ws -a Model 10 & 64, along with my 3" Ruger SP101.

Injunbro · May 15, 2020

I chose .357 because of it's versatility. I almost chose .22 magnum for the same reason but the bigger gun is a better defense round. However truth be told I use .22 LR the most for plinking, dispatching: rattlesnakes, skunks, packrats, etc.

merl67 · May 15, 2020

Although I have handguns in the following calibers .22, .25, .32, 32-20, .380, 9mm, 38spl .357 mag .44mag, .45acp, 45 Colt. My favorite ones to shoot are my S&W K22 made around 1948, and a Ruger standard made aound the mid 1950's.

george_lehr · May 15, 2020

My favorite revolver(s) are .32 H&R magnum caliber (S&W M16-4 and Ruger single six Bisley).
If you'd asked what gun is your favorite caliber, the answer would be S&W M624 (.44 special).

While .44 Special is the caliber I prefer above all others my most prized possession in the firearms line is my 1955 Ruger Blackhawk . Belonged to my Pap then my Dad then me . I been shooting it for over 50 years .
