Before polymer pistols and high-capacity magazines ruled the market, revolvers were the trusted workhorses of shooters everywhere. They were built to last, ran clean under pressure, and rarely needed coddling. But over time, some truly great wheelguns got left behind—models that could still hold their own today if given another chance. These were reliable, accurate, and made for real use, not just nostalgia. Whether it was poor marketing, high production costs, or changing trends that killed them off, each of these revolvers earned respect the hard way. And if you’ve ever held one, you know exactly why it shouldn’t have disappeared from production.

I am of the belief that everybody should have a 4" revolver. If you don't have one, how do you exist?

.22, and .357 are very versatile for snakes (2-legged and non-legged), turkeys (non-winged) and other vermin.
 
I have several revolvers and would rather shoot them over my semi autos any day. Great post ESCO
 
Way back before semi-autos we had to carry 6 shooters in San Bernardino and so I carried and still have my 6" Ruger Security 6.

38 Plus P first six (mandatory by city) and then 357 256 grain if shit went bad.

Still a favorite.
 
I need to open up the safe and take a picture of my wheel gun.
