How do you make a revolver “tactical”?
Put rails on it. I guess it beats an M4 stock. But I’d imagine a light mounted on that would look odd to say the least.

At least on the 325 Thunder Ranch model the rail is removable.

That doohickey under the barrel might make a good bottle opener.

I want to see Jerry Miculek try to beat his 2.99 second time with an R8 and 357 ammo in moon clips…..

Revolvers have been getting rails, I believe it is safe to say, for “years and years”.
I will hereby assert that there is no “tactical world” except in gun writers’ heads, the articles they write, and in advertising. Enough with the T-word already. It was apparently an effective marketing term, being derived from “tactical nuke” I suppose (if I can’t get a tactical nuke at least I can own a tactical vest, some tactical boot laces and a tactical pencil box) but enough is enough.

I’ve heard it said that a “tactical nuke” was a weapon which had a launching system that threw the weapon a shorter distance than the blast radius of the weapon.

Funny, I had the opportunity to fondle a new S&W 686 and a new Ruger Red Hawk. Trigger on the S&W felt like it was full of sand. The Ruger was sooth and a lot lighter in both single and double action. I guess S&W still hasn’t figured it out yet.

Critter; I believe you refer to “Atomic Annie” a system whereby a nuke was fired from a field artillery piece. That may have been one of the first tac nukes, but there are others. I believe the term refers to relatively low yield nukes used in battle scenarios to wipe out opposing forces and equipment, as opposed to higher yield jobs used to destroy whole cities, the delivery system notwithstanding.
The problem with the term is that having high yield weapons capable of wiping out cities is also a “tactic”, but we call that “strategic”. So we have a problem with words, which is partly why I hate “tactical” as a reference to an object.

Also from Wikipedia:
“A tactical nuclear weapon (or TNW) also known as non-strategic nuclear weapon[1] refers to a nuclear weapon which is designed to be used on a battlefield in military situations. This is opposed to strategic nuclear weapons which are designed to be used against enemy cities, factories, and other larger-area targets to damage the enemy’s ability to wage war.”

Went thru
‘A’ training with exArmy warrent, in charge of Long John missile. He said it had sizes of war head, with the big one they would lose the lancher( and crew).
