When it comes to hunting, the multitude of weapons is difficult to keep track of. Many hunters are confused and find it difficult to find their way around the weapons market. Often, hunters can be seen carrying a short-barreled weapon in addition to their rifle, which is used for a catch shot. Whether one chooses a pistol or a revolver is primarily a matter of taste. This article deals with revolvers and should help to make the right choice in case of purchase.
Smith & Wesson 617
A revolver is a short-barreled weapon that enjoys great popularity among hunters and sport shooters worldwide. The main feature of a revolver is the rotatable barrel, which takes over and combines the function of the magazine and the cartridge chamber. By pulling the trigger or cocking the hammer, the drum is rotated and brought into firing position. The drum capacity depends on the model, but is on average between five and seven rounds and thus usually below the magazine capacity of a pistol. More powerful calibers can be fired from revolvers, which is an advantage when trapping heavy cloven-hoofed game. Two very popular revolver calibers for trap shooting are .357 Magnum and .44 Magnum.
Taurus Revolver 689
These offer good reserves and show strong action even on stronger game. The disadvantage of a revolver compared to a pistol is on the one hand the lower cadence, on the other hand the often higher weight, which is caused by the material used. In terms of revolver safety, it should also be noted that it is highly unlikely that a shot will accidentally go off. This is especially true for models with a single-action trigger.
Decisive criteria such as quality, safety and many more naturally differ from manufacturer to manufacturer. Companies like Smith & Wesson, Taurus or Weihrauch are experts when it comes to manufacturing high-quality and high-performance revolvers. Through decades of experience and the preservation of traditions, the production has been perfected and still convinces today.
