While revolvers aren�t for everyone, those who like to carry them for personal protection look for a few must-have characteristics. Among those are size, hammer configuration (smooth vs. protruding), and�yes�capacity (five-shot vs. six-shot), a consideration usually reserved for semi-automatics, but it matters to revolver carriers, too. Here are five of the best revolvers for concealed carry that fit the most common criteria. All of these revolvers are double action, most double-action-only (DAO) and small enough to easily conceal in a holster, pocket, or bag.

Turkey season opens Monday in most of the state and there will be fewer turkeys out there, and perhaps fewer turkey hunters, as well, because of the COVID-19 outbreak. Many Oklahomans undoubtedly will be going turkey hunting next week. Frankly, being isolated in the woods or at the lake is one of the safest places to be. Ticks will be a bigger risk while turkey hunting than COVID-19.

Many aspects of firearms�from how they perform to what happens when they are employed in self-defense to when they sell well�are counter-intuitive. In other words, what actually happens is contrary to what a reasonable person would expect due to unforeseen factors. This being the case, I thought I�d irregularly touch on some of these aspects of guns and the business of shooting. Some are small matter; others have considerable import. In any event, do really have anything better to do right now?

Cuomo�s March 20 executive order that included firearms retailers as non-essential businesses which must close is a �pointless and arbitrary attack on the constitutional rights of New York citizens and residents,� the NRA said in a complaint filed late Thursday in Syracuse.

Formal bullseye target shooting with revolvers appears to have begun soon after the end of the American Civil War, coincident with the advent and improvement of self-contained metallic cartridges. For those who require absolutes, Smith & Wesson�s New Model No. 3 Target revolver of 1886 appears to be the earliest purpose-built target revolver, and so may reasonably be considered the start of Bullseye�now called Precision Pistol�competition.

Like other hollow points, the bullet expands rapidly upon impact, creating a large wound channel and typically stopping most creatures in their tracks with that single shot.
