As a revolver fan, I am frequently asked what I think the best revolver is. Whether it is for concealed carry or self defense, people want to know my top revolvers. Well, after years of shooting Smith and Wesson Performance Center, Ruger, Colt, and Kimber... This Spohr is truly one of the best magnum revolvers out there! This Spohr revolver made in Germany is chambered in .357 Magnum and it built to extremely high quality control standards and is all forged: no MIM parts. (I even tested a 9mm cylinder, which is an amazing option! I quality revolver chambered in 9mm? Yes please!) When it comes to quality revolvers, the Spohr is better than all of those (yes even the 686 +, Python, King Cobra, and GP100) and at its price point it should be! But in this honest review I will go over what problems or issues I experienced as well as how it stacks up to a premium brand like Korth. So enjoy this full review of the Sphor 283 Carry revolver newly imported from Germany to the U.S. courtesy of Nightwood Guns!

For those who are willing to spend the money for best quality firearms, we are living in an age of fantastic revolvers. Korth, Manurhin MR73, or SPOHR, pick your favorite and buy a gun to own and shoot for life and then pass it down to your child. I went with the MR73, but at these quality levels, it boils down to personal taste.
You hit the nail on the head! How’s your MR73 holding up? I’ve heard less than stellar things about the Beretta imported Manurhins.
@NightwoodGuns I have a little over a thousand rounds through it so far and it has been perfect. 80% of shooting has been 357 magnum and 20% 38spl. I further split the shooting up 70% double action and 30% single action. I think the "new ones aren't as good " arguments have been made by people who own old ones and don't want their resale value to decrease. In every comparison I can make to my 1965 Colt Python, the MR73 is better. Okay, so I would probably give the nod to the Python for looks. 😉

"Extreme accuracy at all distances"
*while placing the muzzle literally on the target*
Nightwood is becoming one of my favorite review channels
I was considering typing, extreme accuracy at 2 inches from the muzzle
It’s not as easy as it looks. I had to memorize the offset at that distance 👀
Put it in a Ransom rest. Put the extreme accuracy to the test, and don't use some crappy Federal watered-down ammo either.
@@exothermal.sprocket You are always welcome to donate to the channel to fund a ransom rest along with match-grade ammo.
@@NightwoodGuns Or they could just do like Freedom Arms, include the cloverleafed 5-shot single hole proof target with the product.
The SPOHR has to be the absolute pinnacle in the revolver world.
At least we can dream.
Spohr is definitely making waves 👍 Looking forward to seeing what comes next from them.
The Spohr L562 'standard' 4.0 is my favorite. Classic. Perfection. Arguably, best in the world.
The 4.0 is a great do-all heirloom-quality workhorse 👍
For a workhorse, I might argue the Manurhin MR73 5.25-inch.
I do have the 6" model and it is accurate like you say. One of my best wheel guns
Very nice! 👍 I bet that 6” is a tack driver!
Unfortunately the American gun makers became more interested in profit than quality!
I own one .38 and two .357’s. The .38 is a 1975 S&W 10-5 snub and one of my .357’s is a 1985 S&W 66-2 snub. The other .357 is a Ruger 1990 Blackhawk. All are quality made and function flawlessly.
This one looks nice too, definitely will see if I can find one.
Well said 👍 You definitely have some keepers in your collection 😎
I was looking forward to this review! You did a great job pointing out small details that make a big difference like the sharp edges and holster fit. The ability to shoot .357, .38, and 9mm makes this a really versatile gun.
I didn't realize this will be cheaper than Korth; that does make it more appealing. I think the rail on the barrel is a poor choice: it's probably too short to mount anything onto it, mounting a big, pic rail sized dot seems antithetical to a carry revolver anyway, it looks bad, and it interferes with holsters.
All fair points 👍
Thank you for your honesty... It's not common at all
That’s the whole reason I made the channel 👍 I’m glad you enjoyed the video 😎
Okay fine you have convinced me, I'm gonna get a wheel gun.
You need at least one! 👍
Not this one, though
I was JUST about to head out to Bass Pro for a few supplies, looks like I'm watching this first. 😎
I’m glad I could help you pre-game for your Bass Pro trip 😂👍
I hear the same thing is happening with US automakers; in the last few years quality has plummeted. It's like they know the end is coming so they're squeezing value out of their brands while they can.
That’s certainly how it seems 👀
Its true of every industry as of late. Look around the end really is near
When the value of the US currency is plummeting a lot faster than factories and supply chains can re-configure, manufacturers stand to lose money. The problem isn't corporate greed in this space, the problem is:
Congress wants money.
Fed lends currency to the US treasury, WITH INTEREST
Treasury prints and prints and prints and prints and prints
Congress gets the cash, spends it on bureaucratic crap, launders the rest around the world
Congress hands the debt over to the taxpayers and wealth-generators.
Repeat repeat repeat.
The USA doesn't have its own currency, believe it or not. Every dollar is borrowed from the Fed with interest owed. This is the reason for the dying towns, dying factories, dying workforce, inability to pay for anything these days. Inflation is theft by borrowing currency.
Oh, and the Fed is NOT elected, is not Federal (of the people), and has no oversight.
This is it boys, this is the one.
😂👍
You're exactly right on QC nowadays. I turned down S&W as my carry option because of the horror stories I've been hearing lately from S&W QC. But even still, I got a 3" Colt Python as my CCW and I love it. However once again QC comes into play because first thing you have to do after dropping $1500 on a Python is go spend another $100 on a Wilson Combat sight to fix their issues too. QC issues are running rampant in everything it seems.
Glad to hear this glowing review for the Spohr Revolver. It was definitely in my mind as option so I'll have to pick one up as well sometime.
Exactly right 👍
Great video. Those little details are what set you apart from other gun reviewers and content creators. Love the revolver content, keep it up Brett!
Right on, I’m glad you enjoyed the review! Can’t wait to cover more wheelguns 👍
There is it! Yeah, I'll be getting one of these for sure! Looking forward to the upcoming revolver content. Great vid as always!
Right on! 👍
Your videos sometimes just ...brighten my day, Brett. This one not only put me in a good mood but flung a hankerin' on me to boot. Gonna have to have me a Spohr.
I’m glad to hear it! 😁👍
That pistol is a work of art.
Agreed 👍
Revolver, not pistol.
I love the textures and controls on this thing. I’m not a stainless guy but I still can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a revolver this nice. Would love this in blued or @ least black.
They have a PVD blakc (DLC) option that's 450 more. I'd totally spend the extra for that
Yep, like monkey said, they have an awesome PVD black finish and the polished part of the cylinder looks so good in black 🙌
Very nice revolver the fit and finish seems top quality thank you for the review
Absolutely 👍 Glad you enjoyed the review
Wish I could afford one. Love the 9mm convertible cylinder.
Sending it back is going to hurt 😭
Taurus 692 is the same gun made to a much lower and cheaper standard.
Been looking forward to this one. Like you mentioned, for this to be a serious consideration for concealed carry it needs to have aftermarket support. Rubber carry grips and conceal carry holsters are must haves. What you said about S&W is true and it hurts my soul. I wish they took more pride in their revolver market considering they brought us some of the best revolvers of all time. I hate that buying a S&W feels like a gamble
I agree with your opinion on new S&W revolvers. I am also not going to buy anything with that Frame lock hole. My most recent purchase was a Colt Official Police in 38 Special. Once I got it home I did some research and discovered it was made in 1940. Beautifully fitted and smooth. The old stuff is the best stuff. I am glad that SPOHR is making a quality gun. I fear we will never see another good one from S&W again.
Yep, S&W revolvers have become… sad. On the rare occasion I buy a new one I have to check it over as if it’s a used revolver 🤦♂️ And then hope nothing will break on it.
I agree!
@Nightw😢oodGuns
Al my carry guns have wood grips. Not sure why people want rubber
I’m in for a future video on Spohr’s upcoming 44 mag and 22lr. Subbed.
Welcome to the channel 👍 I’m definitely looking forward to seeing what Spohr does next!
Nice to see some new names getting traction in the wheelgun market. Sadly, I'm too pohr for this one.
Yep, I feel ya! 😅
Very glad for a new player in the market that's shaking up the trend toward crappier and crappier "good brand" revolvers.
I'm not into the pic rails. Look like some kind of camping wood saw you buy off Amazon. Glad they offer non-pic-rail options.
Would you rather Manurhin MR73 or Korth Mongoose?
I'd take the Korth any day. One of the best wheelguns money can buy. I've seen issues with the Beretta-imported Manurhins. It seems they aren't up to stuff with the actual issued revolvers.
@@NightwoodGuns Good to know. Also the Korth retracting extractors are a cool touch for rimless cartridges.
Spohr makes the highest quality revolvers ON THE MARKET. OUT OF THE BOX. it's AMAZING
They certainly impressed me 👍
For 8X as much as standard revolvers, it better be.
You could be reviewing a washing machine and still get a like from me just for the N7 shirt.
Technology Connects has a lot of great videos on this kind of topic... I've watched videos where he does deep technical dives into things like dishwashers and lightbulbs lol.

Nice video! I haven’t got into revolvers, but can respect the art
😎👍
this is really the truth, 2 weeks ago I shot with a s&w from a comrade that he inherited from his father
the firing pin to the hammer
no rear sight
what an incredible difference from the new s&w
It's really bad that brands like S&W and Ruger are down hill
good video, you know what you're talking about
there are few good gun channels
greetings from Belgium,
Ya this being 7 or 8 rounds would be super tempting. The Korth is way more, but has 8rounds and those sick race fins on the barrel. It does feel like there's value there, even though I couldn't ever justifying buying one.
I agree 👍
After seeing the entry price on these I feel like I got a bargain on my S&W 629 3” Deluxe & 629 Performance Center Snub for $2600 out the door. Both are flawless. Rather not have the lock but no issues. Love them.
The cylinder release is the one major thing Taurus CAN’T get right. Such a simple thing but so important.
Absolutely 👍
Brett, S&W has been using soft metal parts for internals for over 60 years. They switched from forged bits in the 1950s, replacing them with parts that were punched out of relatively soft flat stock, machined, then case hardened. Only a thin surface layer was hardened; the rest remained soft metal. Tolerances with the punched flat stock parts were less repeatable than MIM. If a gunsmith had to fit a part, that reduced the thickness of the case hardening; subsequently reducing the lifespan of the part. The current MIM parts aren't through hardened, but they are harder than those old punched parts were. Forging isn't the be all, end all either. A retired police armorer told me that the Colts had more issues with broken hammer spurs than the S&Ws did.
The pinned barrels were better in most ways than the crush fit barrels. Canted barrels weren't a thing, and cylinder gaps were more repeatable. The crush fit barrels also impart more force to the frame when they're installed. The barrel pins could, however, walk in some circumstances.
I've looked at a couple of pinned barrel S&Ws recently. One is a 10-6 that's a retired service weapon. Plenty of holster wear, but a super clean bore. However, the sear on the hammer is weirdly worn out of spec. The SA trigger is great, but something was clearly wrong with the DA pull. It could be a case where the officer who carried it dry fired it like a maniac but barely shot it outside of his annual qualification (those two things tend to be at odds with each other), or it could be that sear just wasn't that well made from the factory. The other is a narrow front sight, Model 60 no dash. The frame on that one came out less than ideal when initially manufactured; I can see where a gunsmith had to file away some material on the frame by the back of the cylinder, and the part of the frame where the yoke closes. It's very obvious, as the affect areas got minimal (if any) polishing afterwards.
Interesting read. So you’re saying if you want a (guaranteed) top quality S&W revolver, you need to go back to the 1950s?
@@BezmenovDisciple Not really. Things were still made to less repeatable tolerances and stress relieving methods weren't as good back then. Speculating, but S&W may have also done better QC with more expensive revolvers like Registered Magnums/Model 27s than M&Ps made in much larger quantities.
Fantastic review! Glad you point out the details that matter. Can't wait to try one out!
I’m glad you enjoyed the review 😎👍
Love seeing the wheelgun content. Keep up the good work!
😎👍
Looks like a high-quality wheel-gun. It would be great to give it a try. Thank you for another honest review.
You should review a S&W Registered Magnum.
I have seen warnings about using cast lead ammo in pistols with polygon rifling, any warnings in the package with this revolver?
Pic rail and fiber optic sights on a revolver with basically a mag release? I'm slowly becoming revolver pilled lol.
😂👍
Gorgeous revolver. As an old school shooter, this would be a great centerpiece for my revolver collection, but the price is sky high at ~$3k or so… I think I’ll look for a 3” Ruger GP100 for now…..😅
Fair enough! 😂👍
so close to 100k bro
Should be a few more weeks 🤞😂
I remember when 9mm was $5 a box. And then when it was just under $9. I chuckle when people say 9mm is cheap to shoot at 27 cents a round.
Holy Shit son, thats one beautiful gun but that freaking price tag O_O
Yep, sweet gun. But the price will make many people faint 😅
Best of the best! 😊
😎👍
Another awesome review. Good to see a youngsta nerd out on revolvers.
Speaking of Smith and Wesson, I was a huge SW fan but I think I'm done with them. I purchased a brand-new S&W firearm recently that they were touting a rebate for. The website showed a rebate for that model and my local store had a card showing the model was eligible for the rebate. I filled out the rebate form, attached my pictures, made sure the model was covered as listed in their rebate legal document and S&W's response was that my rebate was denied as "it was not a valid serial number for the rebate." I have gone back and forth with their rebate department (which has no control over anything, they literally just forward reports to S&W) and my model's UPC/SKU are covered by the rebate but S&W has decided my serial number just isn't eligible. It's incredibly crazy, they don't even list elligble serial numbers only SKUS/UPCs which mine is listed! I told them I was pretty sure that was illegal, their rebate department won't put me in touch with anyone, they are only forwarding my comments to some nebulous group for another round of review. If they aren't putting that stupid lock on their firearms they are totally changing the classic line's fabrication methods and refusing to honor their rebate terms. I'm so mad that if they give me another run around I'm selling all my SW products, filing a grievance with the BBB, and I will never recommend another SW product ever. I own a 686+, MP 5.7, K22 and that's just the start, what buffoons to throw away the goodwill of their fans over a cheap rebate!
Noone wants to buy American any more because of this race to the bottom so companies can milk their customers rather than provide good products and service.
Your last paragraph is sad but true. Sorry to hear about your awful experience. I wish I could say I was surprised.
I’m not sure what is going on at S&W. This one should not have left the factory…and it is one of their Ultimate Carry J-frames! S&W 432 Ultimate Carry or Ultimate Fail

The biggest con is it cost to much if it's a grand more than a Smith and Wesson.
And the bigger con is how much modern S&W revolvers with MIM parts and poor fit/finish cost. And they don’t even have to export from a foreign country. Everything is overpriced.
My next order is 99% sure to be one of the upcoming spohr .44 magnums, with DLC coating and hopefully a secondary cylinder in .44 russian (for target loads, since it's extremely similar to .45 ACP bullseye loads, even has pmuch identical case volume)
i already have a korth (1981-ish ratzeburg sport model) and a manurhin MR-73 (currently got 6000 rounds on mine, had it since last summer), but i might just sell the korth since the double action just isn't my thing
I’m not a revolver guy so forgive me is this is a stupid question. That revolver with the pic rail for a weapon light…I had thought a thumbs forward grip on a revolver would result in burned thumbs? How would you operate your wml without this risk?
What if, and this is a hypothetical, but what if, you grew up with the thunderous clap of OG .357 before it was neutered by SAAMI, and you inherited your grandpa's load manuals with notes in the margins for the spicy boi 158 gr SJHC at 1400 fps from a 4 inch Ruger? The GP100 is built like a brick shithouse and is known to withstand these Olde .357 Magnum loads from a bygone era, when men ate red meat and it was widely reguarded as near impossible to load .357 "too hot." What about the 283?
Ah yes, the .357 magnum god intended 😎 I’d ask Spohr before trying it, but from my observations this seems every bit as tanky as a Ruger with the refinement of a Smith. 👍
4:43 I don't know, that's a pretty big group at that range :)
I definitely should have slowed down 😂
It’s a young company, and I think they’ll be other models coming out way in the future. Do you think this 3 inch model needs to be ported or is it so evenly balanced you have non need for it to be ported. I would be looking forward to a combat carry with 2 1/2 inches seven or eight shots light version, maybe around 30 ounces slightly smaller grips. We just have to wait and see for that.
@@garygoodman9342 Agreed 💯 And it shoots great as is, but I wouldn’t turn down ports 😅
@@NightwoodGuns , any inside dope, on a more concealable 2.5 inch barrel, 7 shots. They could take the chiappa rhino. I’m flatten out the barrel a little bit that might give them some more room, but do you know of any inside information on them about other combat style units
@@garygoodman9342 Just rumors. If they are at SHOT Show 2025, I’ll be able to find out more.
Great video, but the price tag is very expensive, not for the everyday shooter, I will stick with S&W performance center until the cost comes down.
Fair enough 😅👍
Nice video and gun! Have you tried Korth? I haven’t but a local shop usually has a couple at times. Beautiful wheel guns.
Great review. I want one !
😎👍
I want to try with no strings like you and I would feel better about spending big money or it’s going to be Korth for me
I definitely understand that. If Korth is the safe bet for you then I say go for it 👍
I looked these up a few weeks ago, seems no one imports them/sells them in the US.
Reach out to MMB Imports, they are importing to the U.S. 👍
Would love to see how it stacks up to my TRR8.
Beautiful revolver but 39 oz is a lot of gun to carry all day. Thanks for your vid.
Yep, it’s a beast 😂
Great vid! Thanks
Great video, thank you for finally making it and posting it. Beautiful revolver and I think it will be well worth the money. I have a question for you though. Would you recommend the 3 inch or the 4 inch in the club version? I had already ordered the 4inch, but I’m thinking about changing it to the 3inch after listening to what you said about the recoil. I would like your honest opinion, please.
3" for carry. 4" for everything else.
Now the hard decision, do you buy a SPOHR or a Staccato lol
Staccato every day 😂
Top. Germany really comes in front with SPOHR
Absolutely 👍
Glock mags?
Yep, .357 Sig 😂
I hope these guys and their sister company really start to take off. That L154 was sexy af and this looks like a REAL Performance Center type revolver. So what's the best way to get them? Are they only available from the manufacturers' websites? Would be surprised if they'd be on regular distribution.
Yep, I’d love to see them succeed in the U.S. market. As for acquiring one, that would be a question for MMB Imports or Spohr. Because I’m not even sure how to get one 🤷♂️😅
That is a really nice revolver. Too bad its out of most people's price range including mine.
Can we get a review of the Geth Plasma Shotgun please? 💯
Geth Plasma Shotgun is dope. I used it in ME3 multiplayer for a long time because it was the only halfway-decent weapon I got out of the boxes 😂
yes, terrific
😎👍
I greatly appreciate the video. If I can't get a Spohr in .44 I'm aiming for the MR73
What are your thoughts on the Kimber K6s 3"?
I think it’s a decent option 👍 I don’t have as much time behind the Kimber as I do with S&W, Ruger, and Colt, but the limited time I’ve spent with the Kimber has been great. Just like any other modern wheelgun maker, just look out for QC issues 😅
I can’t figure out what the pic rail on top of the barrel is for. Is it for an optic? If so, shouldn’t it be further back?
Honestly, I’m not 100% sure 🤷♂️ The Chiappa Rhino is the same way. Might just be easier to machine the pic rail there vs. the top strap of the frame.
Great looking revolver but pricing is a real gut punch.
Yep, it’s a pricey one. Top notch quality will do that 😅
@@NightwoodGuns yeah but when you are older like me and remember the days of performance center prelock revolvers costing a third of this, it hurts.
Das Est Zer Gut! I want! My Taurus 692 3" 7-shot Multi-Caliber Revolver always gets a lot of views my unboxing somewhere around 375K and yes being able to train w 9mm is awesome and I do like the look of Unfluted Cylinders. looks like the hammer spring system on old Astra and FN which is kind of brilliant! @MMBimports I will gladly gush at this and compare to my Taurus and my Talo GP100
😎👍
Can you do a video on how to grip a revolver? I have a revolver but I shoot it like once every few years lol
Once I get caught up on reviews I intend to do more vids like that 👍 Micro Dagger, PX4, and one of the new Bul Armory TACs are the last big ones on my list.
Great video! You answered all the questions. The trigger didn't sound that great though & the price sounds out of sight.
Plus, the handle is wood? Sounds a bit hard for 357 but you said something about the recoil not being that bad? How does the gun reduce the recoil, especially on a 3"?
What is the rail on top for? Any thing you would put on top would block your sights unless you can put a red dot or something like that on it?
Looks very bulky. Definitely a man's gun or outdoor gun can't see a woman using this cc.
I like the S&W ported 3" 357 but yeah heard there's alot of send backs. What a shame! They used to be the go to pretty much.
Do like the 9mm option ❤ but do they have a less bulky option?
Thanks for showing wheel guns!! & Keeping us updated!
You are right about this being more outdoor or “manly man” oriented for carry 😅 The weight of the gun and the ergonomics of the grip make it easy to shoot even with the 3” barrel. And yes, a dot would go on the top rail but obviously it would be quite cumbersome. They don’t have any less bulky options yet, but I have a feeling they are just getting started. Hopefully they have additional models in the works 👍
Crazy how much they cost
All forged from scratch and imported from Germany. You get what you pay for, but it’s steep 😅
Germans are terrible at economics, but they are socialists, so it makes sense.
Thanks for the great review. I am not a revolver guy, but this looks really nice. I was considering buying the chiappa rhino. Would you recommend this better?
I’d say it depends on your budget. The Rhino is pretty cool 👍
I had one of those Rhinos but heard stories about mechanism hangups so sold it
@@Misskitty15 Didn’t realize you already had a Rhino. I had one for a while and never had an issue. I think the earlier production ones had common issues though.
Is the rear sights removable to add reddot to the rear
Do one on the Hellcat!
Gay.
@@wehrewulf Ask your mom if I’m gay.
👍
😎👍
To add to my question, I do not plan on carrying the Spohr club Revolver, that I ordered. I just want to know if the 3 inch and 4 inch would be better in your opinion. My plan is to shoot it at the range and possibly carry it with me on hunting trips only, which would be very few days a year! I had already ordered the 4 inch but I might change it to the 3 inch
Yeah, if you don’t plan on sticking it inside your waistband, 4” is the way I would go 👍
@@NightwoodGuns if you don’t mind me asking, what Ammunition did you use for your review? What brand and grain? Any problems with the polygonal barrel as far as lead build up of any sort?
@@wesleyhobbs9 Fiocchi, MagTech, Remington, and Federal in varying bullet weights. No lead buildup issues whatsoever. I even ran some S&B lead .38 special through it. No problems 👍
I do not like polygonal barrels. You cannot shoot lead in them and pistols should shoot all bullet types. Paying $2799 for a revolver is ridiculous especially one that won't shoot lead. Polygonal barrels are deal breaker for me. No thanks. Give me a standard rifled barrel. You are spot on about the quality control today being poor no matter the manufacturer or brand. Thanks for sharing.
What a good first revolvers that’s at a sub $800 price?
Ruger GP100 👍
@@NightwoodGuns thank you so much!
@@lucrativelucas2655 😎👍
I am not saying you should not pay 1,300 or 2,000 or even 10,000 dollars on a revolver. But you do not have to. Excellent reliable wheel guns can be had for as little as 500. Less if you find a decent used gun. Maybe this gun can fire fifteen thousand rounds after being run over by a Humvee. That is not required of most guns. If you have the money, buy what you want, but if your criteria is a solid reliable gun, you could have that for much less.
Looks nice, wish it didn't have ginger grooves. Are aftermarket grips available?
Very nice revolver! 💯💯💯 Good review. I think this revolver is perfect for open carry. Have you ever open carry it?
I very rarely open carry. But you are right, this would be a beautiful gun to tote around 😎👍
Thanks for your answer. I like OWB holsters, although open carry is ilegal in my country. We can legally open carry only at the shooting range. We can use OWB holsters, but the gun must be cover by clothing. This is quite difficult with a long barreled gun. So a snub-nose revolver is perfect. In a leather holster that folds better on the belt, it is quite easy to cover the gun with a shirt or a jacket.
Been looking to get a revolver but I’m even priced out of these.
Sadly quality is not budget friendly
Yep, there is nothing “budget” about the Spohr and that’s a double edged sword 😭
Revolvers Rule
You are a lucky man
I’ll take being lucky any day 👍
Not to lower the bar, but I'm curious if you have any experience with the Rossi RP63.
Never owned one, but have friends who have. Mixed experiences similar to Taurus. I’ve become a bit of a snob with wheelguns so I might not be the best person to ask 😅
@@NightwoodGuns Gotcha. Thank you.
@@Q.Lawrence 👍
My .357 clr bark's from my pocket. Drawing is for kids. Chalk please!
Whooooooo! Awesome
😎👍
Modern revolvers are made literally better than they used to. They just don't put hand fitting on parts, which wouldn't add much to the cost.
Like 3k. Jeez.
Yep, quality costs money unfortunately 😅
great
😎👍
You going to order this one for keeps eventually?
I love it, but not any time soon. I have a lot of wheelguns that I love. Maybe if I was starting fresh, though.
@@NightwoodGunsWhat's your favorite wheel gun and does your Mom or sister (woman) have a fav? Or what would be your best recommended wheel gun for woman for home & carry?
Thanks!
Those little ones seem like snappy junk to me. I want reliability and good sights & trigger pull. Maybe I'd have to find something older? Where can those be found?
Tried several places and they pretty much don't have much & are not oriented to helping women.😕
@@Misskitty15 The problem with revolvers is that the ones that are easy to shoot are hard to carry. The ones that are easy to carry are hard to shoot. Truth be told, my wife, sister, and mom don’t particularly like any revolvers 😅 My wife sometimes enjoys shooting the 586 L-comp with .38 specials but she would never carry it because it’s too heavy and bulky. If you are insistent on a wheelgun for both carry and home defense you might want to look at the S&W 640 Pro or Kimber’s offerings and deal with any QC issues you may end up with. An argument could also be made for the Chiappa Rhino. Those are the three I’d check out. I would recommend an older Smith, but unless you know exactly what to look for in a used revolver… it’s hard to make that recommendation. Hopefully those recommendations help.
@@NightwoodGuns Thanks I'll look those up!
I agree about the wheels but I feel so safe with one. I know I can operate it & I worry about it going off or fumbling with it. It's simple yet accurate and with the 357 you have options with ammo.
Plus, it packs a wallop if you need that. "One & done". Lol. Did you hear about the 85 yr old woman who an intruder came into her house in the middle of the night and he cuffed her to a chair and demanded her valuables? She told him where to look & when he turned she grabbed her 357 and got off 2 rounds. He shot back at her (can't remember if she was hit) but then he died....ok, 2 & done.
@@Misskitty15 Absolutely! You could do much worse than a .357 magnum. That’s for sure 😎👍
nice!
