Revolvers

Shop revolvers at No Boring Guns for personal defense, competitive shooting, and range use. From classic double-action designs to modern defensive carry options, these wheel guns deliver proven reliability and satisfying performance.

Revolvers remain popular for their mechanical simplicity and dependable operation. Unlike semi-automatic pistols, they don’t rely on magazines or complex feeding mechanisms. The rotating cylinder design means malfunctions are exceptionally rare, making them trusted choices for situations where reliability matters most.

Choosing Your Revolver

Frame Size and Capacity

Smaller frames conceal easily but hold fewer rounds and generate more felt recoil. Compact revolvers typically chamber five or six rounds, while full-size models accommodate six to eight depending on caliber. Larger frames absorb recoil better and provide longer sight radius for improved accuracy. Consider how you’ll carry or use the firearm – pocket carry demands different dimensions than range shooting or hunting.

Action Type

Double-action revolvers offer versatility for defensive use, allowing both double-action trigger pulls and single-action operation when time permits. Double-action-only models eliminate the external hammer or shroud it entirely, preventing snagging during draws from concealment. Single-action revolvers provide crisp, light trigger pulls preferred for precision shooting but require manually cocking between shots.

Barrel Length

Barrel length affects velocity, sight radius, and handling characteristics. Shorter barrels (2-3 inches) facilitate concealment but sacrifice some velocity and accuracy potential. Mid-length barrels (4 inches) balance portability with performance. Longer barrels (6 inches or more) maximize velocity and precision for hunting or competitive applications where concealment isn’t required.
