Wheelgun, I am not picking on you but I see this a lot and it is kind of a pet peeve of mine, but all revolvers have only ONE cylinder. The five holes you load the rounds in are chambers not cylinders. One cylinder housing 5 chambers.

Not all revolvers have only one clyinder. I have a revolver with 2 cylinders in 2 different calibers. I know of a few other revolvers that have 2 or more cylinders too.

The 9mm model will chamber .380 also.  8)
I wonder if their frames are too small for a 10mm that also shoots .40. I have an Undercover, and it's pretty small and light, but I know that the do a 6-shot as well, and a .357 magnum. I'd be interested.

Fuzdaddy, be careful what you wish for, the 10mm is too high pressure for the little guy, but if they did make it, it would be the baddest barking spider you ever held ;) but I am now looking at charter even more, the .45acp bulldog will be a beast, probably need one. I have a 3" S&W 625 and its all stainless steel, and its a little beastie, better now with rubber grips.

Anyone know how .45 ACP compares to .44 Special in a snubbie? I think .45 +P would be pretty good.

I figured that a Charter in 10mm would need a little more metal. I have a 3 inch ported 629. The Hogue grips on it are the type that don't cover the backstrap, and that is one punishing beast. It's been known to take a little skin.

I've got to start a reference sheet ...

Clip = Haz
Cylinder = Lonedog
Woman Bashing = M'ette
Hitting on M'ette = Marshal
JumboFrank = Fear of showers (group in particular)

LOL. That's a good one. I haven't showered since last year. When there are 6 showers and 12 guys you would think everyone would just take turns. But when the guards turn the water off after 5 minutes it's different. At least in the cellblock we didn't have to yell down the hallway for a guard to flush the toilet by remote control like in the individual cells. I don't ever plan on going to prison again. I wasn't actually planning on it that time either. Sometimes unexpected things happen when I drink.

Charter's new revolver for rimless cartridges is pretty interesting.

Let's just see if it works. Charter and I go way back and I've never been satisfied with any of their products. If they truly can get a 100% reliable and decently accurate 12 oz. 9mm, I'll buy one for certain. That would make for a great left pocket piece.

Well, technically, based on the definition of a cylinder, the chambers are cylinders too. Just like the cylinders in an engine block.


n.
   1. Mathematics.
         1. The surface generated by a straight line intersecting and moving along a closed plane curve, the directrix, while remaining parallel to a fixed straight line that is not on or parallel to the plane of the directrix.
         2. The portion of such a surface bounded by two parallel planes and the regions of the planes bounded by the surface.
         3. A solid bounded by two parallel planes and such a surface, especially such a surface having a circle as its directrix.
   2. A cylindrical container or object.
   3. Engineering.
         1. The chamber in which a piston of a reciprocating engine moves.
         2. The chamber of a pump from which fluid is expelled by a piston.
   4. The rotating chamber of a revolver that holds the cartridges.
   5. Any of several rotating parts in a printing press, especially one that carries the paper.
   6. Archaeology. A cylindrical stone or clay object with an engraved design or inscription.

A cylinder is one of the most basic curvilinear geometric shapes: the surface formed by the points at a fixed distance from a given straight line, the axis of the cylinder. The solid enclosed by this surface and by two planes perpendicular to the axis is also called a cylinder. The surface area and the volume of a cylinder have been known since deep antiquity.

In firearms terminology, the Cylinder refers to the cylindrical, rotating part of a revolver containing multiple cartridge chambers. The cylinder revolves around a central axis in the revolver to bring each individual chamber into alignment with the barrel for firing. Each time the gun is cocked, the cylinder indexes by one chamber (in six-shooters, 60°).


So, in essence, relating to revolvers, the chambers are cylinders within a cylinder.   ;)
 

All in good fun.
Welcome aboard.
