Revolvers weren't designed to be fixed up, they were designed to be used until they break, then replaced.

You toss it.Or you do something incredibly fucking stupid like re-manning the barrel to a slightly bigger round...

Is there any reason to keep the same concept even when they're more expensive now?

It would be very expensive either way, and not practical in the long run unless you were planning to do it to several revolvers.

That's not what I suggested.

That's not what I suggested.You didn't say anything about doing it th wrong way. What you said implied that re-manning the barrel in general was a stupid idea.
You're thinking too logically.

For an individual looking for a weapon for home defense, they could keep a revolver loaded for as long as they want, if they kept a magazine loaded in a semi-automatic handgun, it would wear out the spring over time.

Revolvers are lame. M911

So when it comes to having a revolver...
