Double Action Revolvers

These hard hitting revolvers soon found a market that wanted the reliability of a revolver and the larger more powerful round. All revolvers featured here are made with high-quality double actions, thus keeping their ROFs higher than most single action revolvers.

Colt Serpent Colt in an attempt to answer this concern and also capture some of this market, introduced their Serpent line of double action revolvers. These revolvers offered a rate of fire that was close enough to a semi-auto to be negligible. In fact some revolver fans have claimed that there is no difference. I will leave that to each of you to discover. PST +0 J C .44Mag 6 2 ST 50m 550eb

Castech "Colt Navy" Castech, in an unusual move, bought the rights to the old Colt Navy revolver design. No one thought they would produce a workable modern revolver from the design. Castech reworked the revolver to use the modern caseless heavy pistol ammo. This weapon is visually the same as the older Colt Navy revolver. It is, however, a double action revolver. This model has become one of the most popular among the runner crowd. [Game notes: This revolver can not use speed loaders because of the unusual way the ammo is inserted into the cylinder. ] PST +1 J P 12mmCL 6 2 VR 50m 550eb

Ronko Street Master The last double action I want to show to you is not as nice as either the Colt or the Ruger, but it has such an interesting look it has found it's own small market niche. This is the Ronko Street Master. It combines some smoother, auto style looks with a revolver type mechanism. It also places the cylinder behind the hand thus allowing a longer barrel length. They are not as awkward to fire as they look, however they are not what I would term top grade handguns. Comes equipped with an integral laser sight (+1 WA not included in weapon stats) PST +1 J C .41Mag 6 2 UR 50m 450eb

Smith & Wesson Model C29 Smith and Wesson have manufactured a Model C29 for some time. The weapon is designed for use by those who need a combat handgun that is reliable, rouged, and unstoppable. This unit does not even have a sight built onto it. in place they have had a sighting package built right into the gun. This sight unit comes standard with a white light flashlight and a standard laser sight. Other custom combinations seen include smartgun, infrared flashlight, video camera link, and ultrasound sight just to name a few. The barrel has been ported and has a heavy barrel. Between the porting and the weight there is very little barrel climb. The revolver cylinder is larger then some. It carries eight rounds. The pistol also comes from Smith and Wesson with a pair of Autoloaders. Quite a reliable handgun. PST +2 J P .41Mag 8 2 VR 50m 950eb

Taurus Hunter The Taurus Hunter has become a world class handgun hunting weapon. The large, 8 shot revolver is fitted with an accurate iron sighting system along with a high power laser sight.

Colt Venom The Venom is a light revolver. Not one that is used a lot in the runner community, but has seen quite a bit of use among the corporate personnel. It allows them to feel armed without feeling the need to learn to shoot those heavy weapons. You should be aware that these have been sold by the hundreds. Both the standard and short versions can be found in many corp homes and offices. PST +0 J C .38 6 2 VR 50m 450eb
