    If you had to construct a revolver battery

    If you woke up tomorrow and all your semi-autos were gone and you couldn't get them back and had to create a handgun "battery" to cover all the things that you currently like/want to do but with revolvers. What would you get? Preferably models readily available on the new/used market. (I'm thinking of your esoteric response ahead of time Tamara) Not some ultra rare collectors item. Please feel free to use these categories or just make up your own if you prefer.

    A brace of K frames should cover the whole lot nicely, maybe a pair of Model 15 4", a Model 18 4" in .22lr, and perhaps a snub 19 for deep cover stuff.*

    A matching pair of 4 inch GP100s in .357 Magnum.

    And then an SP101 in .22 LR for other stuff.

    Oh and I guess an LCR for carry.

    A pair of pre-lock 642s for BUGs
    A pair of 3" M66s (or HB RB M10s) for carry/duplicate
    A Redhawk .44 for hunting/hiking
    A .22lr M317 for a kit gun.

    In Smiths, a 4" 29, 6" 29, 4" 24, 6" K-22, 4" 19, 6" 586 w/ Leupold scope, a stainless j, 4 5/8" Ruger 45 Blackhawk, 4 5/8" old Vaquero, 4 5/8" single six.

    Could maybe get interested in a 686+ mountain gun, but am not a huge fan of either stainless or round butts. In a square butt blued, that would be a nice light caliber carry gun. 7 rd, light barrel profile,...

    In a pinch I could do it all in .41 Magnum.

    Three inch M657 for carry.

    Four inch nickled M57 for barbecues. I kept the factory target grips on this one.
    They are beautiful.

    Six inch blued M57 for fun. My first .41. (I used to shoot pins with it back in the day.)

    Long Tall Sally, eight and three eighths inch M657 for hunting.
    (I have also shot plates with it and had a lot of fun doing so.)

    I'm probably there, between a 642 (with 36-1 as backup) various 2, 3 and 4" K-frames in .38/.357 (from 2" 12 to 4" 13 with some in between), a flatgate single-six and a super blackhawk. For starters. With the fact that I'm not hurting acknowledged right up front, I could see adding an 8-shot S$W UDR .357 snubby (original recipe no-lock "bloodwork"), a Redhawk, and an LCR in .22, but I don't need them. Oh, I just re-read and saw the games part. Throw a 625 in there, and we're good, dude.

    And yeah, I'm interested in seeing Tam's list. [insert popcorn .gif here]

    I imagine that if she was constructing a revolver battery for serious use, it'd be a pretty sensible list. Some k-frames, maybe an L-frame, and a 317 Kit Gun.

    I think I would be just fine with a pair of 3" 65s and a 442. I've often wondered if the 37 with a little bobbing would be a better choice.
