You probably get a lot of these threads, sorry. Ok, I am new to all of this. I have never owned a firearm of any kind in my 50 years. Not for any particular reason, just never did. I grew up around guns, my Dad always had them and us kids knew better than to ever touch them without permission. My brothers all own guns, I just haven’t.
The wife and I have decided that we want a revolver (personal preference) for home protection and to shoot at a range once in a while. My understanding is that we do not need any permit to do this. We don’t plan to carry it around other than to target shoot occasionally. It will be in a safe beside our bed otherwise.
Here are the revolvers we have looked at online and a few of them at the two gun shops we have visited. I am a little concerned that a .357 will be too powerful for my lovely other half to use comfortably. We really want to stay under $500 and would gladly buy used if we could find something we want. You can tell that they are all 4" models, I think that is our preference. 2" barrel is too short for our comfort and 6" barrel too long.
Charter Arms -.357 target mag pug
Rossi- MODEL R97104 .357 MAGNUM 4" BARREL 6-SHOT
Rossi -MODEL R85104 .38 SPECIAL + P 6-SHOT (we really like this one)
Taurus -SERVICE MODEL 827 .38 SPL. REVOLVER
S/W-Model 10 Revolver (my personal favorite of all of these)
Suggestions on any other models and where they might be available are welcome and appreciated.
