So after 12 articles where I wrote about all things revolver, we come to the end! And I leave the best for last. Where should the person seeking revolver knowledge go to get better informed?
While there are not too many places left to do so, it is not a complete wasteland. The knowledge and experience is still out there. Check out these resources.
- American Fighting Revolver (www.americanfightingrevolver.com) – I would argue this is the the premiere spot currently. Run by Darryl Bolke and Bryan Eastridge, this is THE clearinghouse for all things fighting with a wheelgun. Not only do both of them have deep experience with actually running a revolver for real, DB is a historian and collector of the finest order, and Bryan is an accomplished gunsmith with years of working on revolvers. More importantly, they have the ear of many gun manufacturers, and are helping to get some important things done to bring the fighting wheelgun into the 21st Century without losing all the years of what came before.
- Revolver Guy (www.revolverguy.com) – A Great website that covers the best of revolver stuff. Mike Wood, the head guy, is also an experienced shooter and instructor (as well as an author). There is no filler on the site. Every article is worthwhile.
- Gunsite – not only where modern gunfighting was born, it is the home of the Pat Rogers Memorial Revolver Round Up , the PREMIER place to work with all things wheelgun centric, from history to modern fighting.
- Active Response Training – Greg Ellifritz is one of the few guys out there teaching revolver classes. Go find him.
- Caleb Giddings – his Youtube channel Mister Revolver is a great video source. Caleb also teaches revolver classes under the Citizen Defense Research group.
- Claude Werner www.thetacticalprofessor – Claude was teaching, and writing about small caliber revolvers as viable tools when most people had checked out of that area. He still puts out great stuff.
- Snub Noir www.snubnoir.com – A fun website with a quarterly online magazine.
There are probably more out there that are good, and I will probably realize that I have forgotten some, but the above are great places to start. If you hear of others, please let me know!
