Really sorry to hear that! No, you don't want to be reloading right now. Praying for your recovery, keep us updated.
Any big wheel gun fans?

You did it wrong.
When you step on a crack it is supposed to break someone else's back.
I genuinely lust after those old-school S&W 25-5's in .45 Long Colt.
The 4", 6.5" and 8" barrels just don't do it for me. The five-inch barrel on that gorgeous, honkin' big N-Frame is just perfect, IMO.

Prayers sent your way, get well soon Mike!
Thanks guys. I already had an appointment with a regular Doc for tomorrow for something else...boy is he gonna be surprised.
I have a feeling this is gonna take awhile. Looks like it's lightweight carry for a bit. Probably the 14 oz. Colt Cobra or the 20 oz. Charter Arms Bulldog.
I will post a picture of my revolver my wife stole when chooses to shoot so you might feel better. Fun LITTLE gun.
I'm out right now though. I'm letting my mother in law buy our after church lunch!
at last I found a picture of the 627 in my picture dump
and my Nightstand gun 625 3“ .45 ACP
When i first read the thread title, I had a mental picture of a little kid with a cowboy hat riding his Big Wheel shooting his cap gun.
I do have one revolver (no pics, it's locked in my BiL's gun safe). Colt 1917 New Service 45 acp. Haven't fired it in at least 35 years. It was my dad's, one of a few things he left me. Almost afraid to fire it (if I had any ammo for it).

Pietta repro 1873 S.A.A. chambered in, of course, 45 Colt.
That's a cool little gun. Double action only? How's the trigger pull?
Biggest revolver I have at the moment, my S&W 4", 686. The factory hammer and trigger were swapped out for the wide ones, pictured here, when the action was smoothed. It was then glass bead blasted and (in this shot) is wearing Bocote wood grips.

Yes DA only. Trigger is strange at first. It's basically a cam action: you can pull back slowly and feel it let up a little and just rest it right there for as long as you want. Then a little squeeze and off she goes.
I've got one just like it in .357 that I carry, and the trigger works the same, just a lot easier. I'm nearly certain that Ruger patented the action for those LCR's.

Oh how cute...a BABY GUN! Is it a boy or a girl? What's its name? How much does it weigh?
Bertha, Baby Bertha! I have forgotten her birth weight, but I know it's stayed pretty constant in the 5th percentile!

Saw a guy at the range Sunday with a new S&W .500. "Light loads" featured 325 gr. bullet, the heavies were 700 gr.s!! He was massaging his wrist in between shots. He and a buddy were taking turns shooting it. It turned a lot of heads when fired!
