Wheelguns!
I know there have been plenty of gun threads on here; I don't think there's been one dedicated to revolvers.
Wheelgunners of SRP unite!
I have a S&W K-frame that sits in a lock box, and a Ruger Blackhawk in 357 that I put at least 100 rounds a week through.
I cast my own bullets - wheelweight metal with 2% tin added.
I am thinking about buying a Bisley Blackhawk in 357 this week. My BH has a 4-5/8 barrel, and I want a 7-1/2 for hunting. The Bisley grip is interesting to me too.
I know there are a couple of cowboy action guys here, and some others that shoot single action revolvers.
What are you shooting? Pics are welcomed!

I have a couple of them. Carried a S&W Model 19 .357 4" Combat Magnum for many years. I also had a S&W Model 60 .38 2" on my ankle at the same time. Solid, reliable, and the muzzle flash out of a 4" barrel with 125 grain, copper jacketed hollow point .357 rounds would burn the guy if you missed him with the bullet.
I still have them both and will never get rid of them. I'll post a picture later.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

I'm not much of a modern gun guy (my go-to hunting gun is a flintlock fowling piece), so the only wheelgun I have is a Uberti 1860 Colt.
Cap n ball revolvers are a ton of fun.

Not mine, but a cap n ball revolver shot at night

Here is a 4 5/8 bbl Bisley Ruger in 44spl. I did the conversion so that even though it is a new model it has the half c0ck notch for ease of reloading and I love to hear the sound. I found the grip takes some getting used to. Presently I prefer the Blackhawk grip to the Bisley.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Nice Model 36 and Bisley! I too am a reloader and wheelgun nut. I prefer the wheelgun to the auto. Makes policing your brass a whole lot easier. I also cast all my own bullets as well. Plan to kill a deer (or 2 or 3) this weekend with my SBH 7.5 .44 Mag and Lyman's 429-421 over 20gr. 2400.
