honestly, it really doesn't matter all that much because most of the differences are too small to make a huge impact.

- navy has the highest damage iirc but the reload time is rather long.

- the LeMat has the highest ammo capacity but it also has the longest reload time. its reload time is probably the most noticeable difference when comparing all of the revolvers.

- double action revolver has the highest rate of fire but is slightly less accurate and deals less damage.

- schofield is basically the opposite of the double action. lower rate of fire but higher accuracy. ok damage

- cattleman revolver is a jack of all trades but doesn't rise above the other in any particular stat. although it might actually have the fastest reload. not quite sure.


which one you should use depends on how you intent to use them, if you dual-wield or not and which ability cards you have.

personally, I don't care about any of the stats except reload time and fire rate because I'm using paint it black and only go for fast and easy headshots.
same is true if you're playing with controller and use the aim-assist. the auto-aim makes headshots so incredibly easy that there is no reason to use the paint it black or spend any time comparing damage stats.

I know this thread is about revolvers, but what is your opinion on the semi-auto pistols? Like the Mauser etc.

As with the revolvers, the damage of the semi-auto pistols isn't all that high. Not going for headshots doesn't seem worth it. Unless you want to dual wield and just overwhelm your enemies with bullets. Using dual wield does increase the reload time since you have to reload 2 weapons. in that case relaod time should be your number one priority. you could make the argument that it's worth to use 1 revolver in combination with 1 pistol in order to conserve ammunition. using 2 of the same type will drain your ammo extremely fast.
If you play the game like I do, meaning if you try going for headshots, then the damage of the weapon doesn't matter because headshots instantly kill your opponent no matter which weapon you use. I used both the volcanic pistol and the mauser for quite some time purely because I like the style of the guns.

I have to say that the pistols and revolvers are rather lackluster. in medium-range scenarios the repeater is king. once you get too close, the shotguns easily beat the pistols/revolvers.
in long range encouters, the snipers and rifles are way better.
so in terms of actual usefullness, I wouldn't use any of the pistols/revolvers as primary weapons but as a sidearm in case you happen to find yourself in a situation in which you don't have time to reload your primary weapon. in that case, it shouldn't make all that much of a difference which one you use.
