My team of instructors and I just completed teaching at the 2024 Pat Rogers Memorial Revolver Round Up (“PRMRR”), at the world famous Gunsite Academy in Paulden, Arizona. On the long drive home, we solved lots of the world’s problems. One topic of discussion was things our students could do that would enhance their training experience. What follows are a compilation of thoughts that we developed from teaching numerous classes over the years. Continue reading “Getting More out of your Revolver Class”
Colt’s New Viper
Colt introduced a new revolver back in 1977 and called it the Viper. It was released with the intent of maximizing the D frame platform. It was a .38 Special, built with a four-inch barrel to coax the most velocity from that chambering. Continue reading “Colt’s New Viper”

A Defense of the Revolver
We’re all fans of the revolver here (the RevolverGuy title kinda gives it away), so we haven’t found it necessary to spend much time discussing why we like them. All of our regular readers already “get it,” and there’s no sense preaching to the choir.

The RevolverGuy Christmas Wish List has become a tradition of sorts around here, so I figured we’d better keep the ball rolling, especially since you guys gave me a hard time when I tried to skip doing it last year!
