I use revolvers all the time,but like Dan B. said there have been times where a specialty pistol would have allowed me a shot that I couldn't take because of my choice to use revolvers,but for me that's just fine.But I wouldn't mind having a sp to fool around with.

Usually, I take a sp pistol and wear a sort barred revolver on my side as a back up. They just compliment each other well.

I like both and am about 50-50; on Single shots I use scopes but on revolvers I use scopes, red dots and iron sights

I carry both either a TC or Savage striker and a .45 LC Bisley or blackhawk.Why limit your options.reach out and touch,or close your covered.This way you dont make one of your guns mad at you for leaving it home.

I started my handgun hunting with SSs. For the last several years I have only used revolvers. While they limit me (or I limit myself) to about 125 yds or so, that is part of the fun for me.

Started with revolvers, and thanks to the nice people on here, now have some SS's in the mix...still consider myself a revolver guy to the tune of about 80/20

100% revolver all the way! S&W 629 classic, Magnum Research BFR in 454, & S&W XVR in 460 magnum. I think I pretty much have all the bases covered up to 150 yds. where I hunt in Pa.

I prefer the look & feel of revolvers. Hammer clicks & all that! I've had a Contender. There are times I'd like to fiddle w/XPs, Lone Eagles, & Competitors. I like the mid grips. Nothing beats a big bore revolver on the hip though.

For me right now it's 90% wheelguns and 10% SS. I'm tring to get into the SS more but they just don't trip my trigger like the big wheelguns do. Years ago i had a XP-100 in 7mm BR it was fun,but i felt (for me anyway) that it didn't provide the challenges i was looking for.
