Those are excellent guns but kinda beyond his price point.I can't believe no-one has suggested the convertible Ruger Blackhawk.
You can get one with 2 different cylinders that fire 3 different calibers total.
.38spl/.357mag & 9mm cylinders.
9mm would be least expensive to shoot I believe, and the .357 would allow for hunting if you choose.
I'm getting .38 reloads for $15.
Where at may I ask?
Yeah, I think I'm going to go the nail polish route, but whatever it is, I do think it will help.
I actually don't mind the look of the stag, esp. since the gun will stay in my console most of the time. But they are very thick and bulky, and I have short fingers. Hopefully thinner grips will help me reach the trigger just a bit better, although it wasn't a big problem.
I finally got tired of chasing .22 ammo and sold my last one. If it comes back I can always pick up another one but I really hate having a gun just sitting in the safe.I just painted my front sight on my Model 13 with Testor's Florescent Orange paint and it really helps a lot for my old eyes.
+ 2 on the .22. I have a model 617 4" and it is an awesome plinking revolver. I think if I was only going to have one, I would steer towards the .357 like others have suggested, but for all around fun, it's going to be hard to beat the .22.
I don't own a revolver, but am interested in getting one as my next handgun. I'm not looking for anything concealable, and ideally would like something for some target plinking so a longer barrel (non stubnose) is preferred. I'm not very familiar with the different revolver calibers, all I know is I want something that is cheap(ish) to shoot and fun.
My budget? I'd like to keep it at $400 - $500.
