I need some help deciding on what revolver I ought to get as my next one.
I want one of these three:

1) Smith & Wesson TRR8 (N frame, 8 shot, .357)
2) Smith & Wesson Model 649 (J frame, 5 shot, .38 Special)
3) Ruger LCRx (3" model, .38 Special)

All of these are good without a doubt in mind.
I already have a Smith & Wesson Model 66 no dash.
So I'm not sure if I ought to get a large revolver, medium size revolver, or a small size revolver.
So just give me y'all's opinion on all three of these revolvers so I can get more of an idea on what I oughta' get.

I like to hunt deer with my weapons so a 38 is a No GO for me.
But I have no idea what you are using it for.
I just got a 45 colt Blackhawk with 7 1/2" barrel and so far I like it, goes well with my 357 with 6" barrel.

This is your choice so choose for what you intend to do with it

All of them somewhat have different purposes.
The TRR8 or 627 would be a main carry gun (Once I'm old enough,) and also just to have fun and compete with.
The LCRx with the 3" barrel would be for carry and just for straight up fun.
The 649 would be a BUG gun, that would just be to stick into someone's gut and pull the trigger all five times, and it would be for fun since I enjoy small little guns a lot.

I think you have the 649 and the LCRx reversed. At any rate I vote for the LCR since I'm looking for a good deal on one in .357 flavor myself.
