Best Modern Revolvers in the Market

Revolvers Are Still Badass!

Despite the craze over semi-automatic handguns, modern revolvers still assert their presence. That's because the classic wheel-gun is an iconic weapon with a solid place in the world of firearms.

More tactically-inclined gun enthusiasts might say revolver handguns are becoming obsolete. Their understanding of firearms is from modern military experience and shooting competitions, though.

While this is hard to argue from some angles, it's also difficult to deny the pros. There is simplicity, reliability, and familiarity with modern revolvers. In fact, these revolver handguns are still being manufactured and have shown no signs of disappearing from the gun world anytime soon.

So let's take look at some of the top revolvers in the market today!

Kimber is known to make virtually striking firearms and the K6S is one great addition to their list. It is the world's lightest magnum .357 revolver that features excellent ergonomics, match-grade trigger, and stainless steel frame and cylinder.

It also comes with an internal hammer that makes it ideal for concealed carry. The Kimber K6S is a combination of quality and power that every gun enthusiast will adore.

• Ideal for concealed carry since it has a shorter 2.5-inch barrel
• Made out of satin-finished steel, which makes it durable and can even resist corrosion

Concealed Carry Definition: This is the practice of carrying a weapon in public in a concealed or hidden way.

Colt has been a reputable brand for a very long time in the history of revolvers. Which means whenever they make a new gun, you should pay attention, including the Colt revolvers.

The Sky Hawk is a quality German-made handgun that adds to their list of high-end revolvers. It doesn't require the use of moon clips to load and extract the 9mm ammo.

The Korth revolver's design minimizes the distance needed for a 9mm bullet to travel through an unrifled cylinder, thus increasing its accuracy in the process.

• Doesn't require the use of moon clips to load and extract 9mm ammo
