I was actually thinking something similar when I saw it for the first time.

Eh, it's an overbuilt double action Ruger with a squishy grip. It wouldn't be that bad.

How much worse can a full power 10mm be than a .44mag if at all? I've never fired a 10mm so.. :shrug:

I find 10mm easier and softer shooting than 44 mag.

44 out of a older Ruger Blackhawk was teeth rattling.

Buffalo 10 out of a 3rd gen glock was soft shooting

No idea, but I also don't see any reason why, if I'm buying a revolver, I'd want one in loving 10mm. Everything that one can do, something else can do better and probably cheaper.

10mm feels like a more mellow .357 magnum, but it's fairly comparable.

Basically like a real beefy .45 round.

Unless you got those bullshit half load 10mm in which case it might as well be 9mm.

I want a revolver in 9mm because it is cool. Love to get one of the Ruger Police Six issued to European Police departments, or the s&w model 537 (look mom! No moon clips!)

Same.

I also want a .41 revolver just to throw in the safe, along with everything else I don't get to shoot anymore.

Oh man, I had no idea they ever made a 9mm revolver that didn't need moon clips. An Airweight J-Frame with a moonclip-less 9mm cylinder like the 547 would own. Although I doubt it would do anything better than my P290RS which might as well be a revolver with its hilariously long (albeit really smooth) DAO trigger.

Ruger LCR in 9mm, when you want to carry a third backup gun

Flying_Crab: Apr 12, 2002

Yeah but why that when there are a zillion reliable micro 9mm semi-auto pistols? Or even a .380 like an LCP or Kahr.

because it's awesome

I mean I carry a G26 as my EDC and my backup at work but a 9mm five shot wheelgun is kinda neat.

I also want a 7 shot .327, the s&w TRR8 and a ton of other dumb poo poo because not everything in my hobby needs a reason.

poo poo one day I will have a Medusa 47.

If 10mm is good enough for Adam Jensen, it's good enough for me.

If it didn't need moonclips it would be 100x more appealing. I guess if I were buying a ridiculous revolver it'd probably be this: https://www.smith-wesson.com/firearms/performance-center-pro-series-model-640

As far as I am aware I am the only person in the US with the Picatinny rail version of this sight, and there are probably only a few dozen with the AK and SVD mount versions.
In fact mine is even different from the couple of pictures of Picatinny versions I've been able to find on Russian forums.

I had a hell of a time adjusting it at first because I've never used a red dot before and the R arrow on the horizontal adjustment seems to move the reticle left instead of right which took me far longer to realize than I would like to admit

Closest is the IMBEL MD-2 and MD-3, which changed the operating system so it�s basically a FAL in looks only.

McCann Industries. I'm not sure if they still make them or not as there's nothing on their website other than "Hey we used to make these!"

Oh, their primary gunsmith died so they don't make them anymore

There were some FALs in 5.56 but only a few thousand were imported to the states. Either Miso Beno or his dad has (had?) one.

Russian/commie optics generally adjust in the following manner: you shoot a group, then you keep the rifle perfectly still with the sights on the same point of aim with which you shot the group. Then, using your third and fourth arms, you carefully loosen the setscrews and adjust the scope adjustment screws until the point of aim is at the point of impact.
