Revolver vs. Semi-Auto, Coolness

[lazs]

CSACANNONEER .. I agree with what you said.. throwing your brass all over the place is not cool in a variety of situations.

And yes.. this is a useless and entertaining thread.. sure to hurt someones feelings.. someone who has a really ugly black plastic gun... not to name names of course...

1911 = cool

6 inch Blued Colt Python = extremely cool.

6 inch Blued Colt Python = extremely cool.

You know, I gotta agree with this. One of the first handguns I ever got to fondle (but not shoot) as a kid was a 4" blued Python. That Heavy vented rib barrel with thick wooden grip made me think that was the baddest 'piece' on the Planet.
I have yet to own a Python. Someday ;-)...

Haha i LOVE my ugly black plastic gun. It's a like an old bulldog - it's so ugly that it makes it endearing.

Steve McQueen in "Bullit" carried a 2 1/2" Colt Diamondback. Now THAT was cool!!!

I have been a revolver guy since my leo days. See no reason to change. (But I DO own 3 Glocks. Go figure.)

Nice! I've heard about Patton having a .357, but I never seen a picture of him with one until now!

Uhh, I knew he carried two Colt SA .45LC's w/ Pearl Handles.

Didn't know they were engraved!!!

More info. He carried a lot of different handguns..

Since I don't yet have any handguns, I'll let you purchase one of each for me, and I'll get back to you with my opinion on their coolness.

And we'll start a thread on your rifles? I like it!! Do we get to check them out like a library?

Nah - a Glock is more like a pug. Just plain ugly, with no endearing qualities like a bulldog. (Takes cover from all the pug owners!)

it's an ugly gun, yes, but it's MY ugly gun!!!

Actually, I think the pair of Ruger P90's that Antonio Banderas carried (and blasted everyone with) in Desperado were extremely cool. Any gun that gives me a leg up in dealing with Selma Hayek gets two big thumbs up from me!

[Doheny]

Which is cooler, a revolver or a semi-auto, and why?

The man makes the gun, the gun doesn't make the man.

He did have a Smith & Wesson .357, but the one pictured is a Colt .45 SAA.

Not pearl, ivory.

Most people, and especially Patton fans, are aware that Patton hated for his pistols to be referred to as "pearl-handled".

Patton took violent offense at any reference to his pistols being pearl handled. He said, "Only a pimp in a New Orleans whorehouse or a tin-horn gambler would carry a pearl-handled pistol." In no uncertain terms he would have the offender know that his revolver was indeed "IVORY-GOD-F***ING-DAMN-HANDLED" and with that he would turn on his heel and leave.
