    At least that’s a revolver he’s packing. He’ll be limited to six shots with that before reloading, and not some ridiculous number like nine or sixteen.

    After all, if you cannot solve a non-military, non-combat problem with six shots or less, you are unlikely to solve it with more.

      five if he’s practicing safe gun handling and keeping the hammer on an empty cylinder.

      But considering the fact that he has it stuffed in his ass crack, who are we kidding. Yeah…it’s six.

        That was important in 1873. It’s 2024 and modern guns have extra safety features.

        Old revolvers had the firing in on the hammer and could fire if they were dropped and landed on an uncooked hammer. For most of the past century, however, the firing pin has been separate from the hammer and that kind of drop-fire is impossible.

        Guy’s still a dumbass, but every time someone says something so outlandishly incorrect it just gives ammunition to right-wing nut jobs who love to point out how little the other side knows about firearms.

          I have some bad news for you. https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2018/06/investigates/sig-sauer-p320-drop-fire/

          That model was one of the most popular service pistols - LOADS and LOADS of them out there. That is also not the only model with drop-fire problems… Remington 700s will unintentional discharge as well:

          There are others I cannot recall.

          It’s a problem.

            Since these are not revolvers, they don’t add to the point of carrying on an empty cylinder.

            Outside of the revolver discussion, it’s important to note that both of these examples were the result of QA issues that have since been corrected.

                Firstly, I don’t have an obsession with revolvers; it’s just that you responded to a conversation specifically about design changes in revolvers that mitigated the need to carry on empty cylinder.

                Secondly, this is another example of a limited QA issue that has since been corrected with a recall. It doesn’t seem to indicate that a modern revolver with properly functioning parts would be dangerous to carry with all cylinders loaded. Otherwise, are you to say all airbags are dangerous just because of the Takata/Honda issue that killed some people when the airbags exploded?

      Left and right holster don’t look like revolvers, and he’s probably gotta backup stuffed under a fat roll upfront.

        Nah, look at those pants and that stance; dude’s got cold steel between those cheeks.

          Judging by the complete lack of any shape to the pants I’m not sure he actually has any cheeks to speak of.
