I have had a revolver fail so the "never fail" thing is a fallacy.
Whatever you're comfortable shooting.And what model and caliber should I go with?
I had a clinder push forward as the trigger was pulled which stopped rotation. I've had the butterfly bend causing the cilinder to not open. I've also had build up under the ejecter rod which locked up the cilinder.Whoa, any idea what it caused it to fail?
I'm just curious.
For a first revolver I would go with something like a Ruger LCR in .22 mag which is easy on recoil, but will still take out a bad guy. It lets you learn to shoot easier than a .38. :dirol:
I would recommend a 22 single action revolver like a Heritage Rough Rider for the same reason many people recommend a 22 single shot rifle as their first long gun. A 22 is the cheapest to shoot so it can be shot more while learning. The single section revolver is slower to shoot as well as to reload so like with a single shot rifle, the shooter tends to concentrate more and be more careful when they shoot. Once you learn how to shoot, you can make a decision on a permanent gun and know more of what you want.

I own this revolver but would never recommend for a first time shooter. When I teach, I choose a firearm that will promote a good shooting platform. The SA Heritage has a grip that does not teach a proper grip that transfers to most other guns. If you think shooting single rounds is important then just load one round. I actually prefer to use a Ruger Mark III because it forces the shooter to use a proper grip. That allows us to concentrate on sight alignment and stance.
