Christmas is coming around the corner. Many of us are toting around semi-auto pistols, rifles, and shotguns. But the holidays are never a time to overlook the wheel gun. I certainly know the feeling of getting holsters and mags for handguns I don’t even own. So, whether you are a revolver-holic looking to gift yourself or know someone who can use a handy piece of gear, here are our top Christmas gifts for revolver shooters.

Safariland Comp. Speed Loaders

Formally used by the FBI and law enforcement departments across the country, the Safariland Comp series of speed loaders sets the standard for simple and fast reloads. The Comp series reloads the revolver in a few seconds. Simply align bullet tips to chambers and push the loader against the cylinder to release the ammunition.

For small-framed five-shooters ranging from the Smith & Wesson J-frame to the Taurus Model 85 and Ruger SP101, see the compact Comp I. For larger revolvers like the Smith & Wesson K-frame, Ruger GP100, and Colt Python/ Official Police, the larger button-activated Comp. II is the best choice. For competitive work, the Comp. III with an enlarged release knob is the option to beat.

Bianchi Lawman OWB Revolver Holster

For fans of single-action revolvers, nothing beats a good piece of leather to carry it. The Bianchi Lawman is an outside-the-waistband holster that is both attractive and period-authentic without a custom leather price tag.

The Lawman is a fitted holster with a suede-lined interior to protect the revolver’s finish. The holster is constructed of vegetable-tanned cowhide and durable ivory stitching. The arched belt loop accommodates belt widths ranging from 1 3/4 inches to 2 1/4 inches. The retention strap snaps securely over the hammer of the revolver, ensuring a tight hold in the holster and negating accidental brush-cocking inside the holster.

Wheeler 43-Piece Gunsmithing Screwdriver Set

Revolvers need to come apart for cleaning and maintenance. For that, a good screwdriver set is essential equipment. Wheeler makes a number of excellent sets, but their 43-piece gunsmithing screwdriver set represents a good balance of bit options without buying too big with bits you likely will never use.
