[QUOTE="44minimum, post: 1059996, member: 2388"] Lots of good choices out there and very easy to get confused but here are my observations Ruger GP 100 or security six. 4 inch or 6 inch barrel. Ruger makes a very strong gun and very few people will ever wear one out. And they are accurate. Ruger Blackhawk-if you liked the cowboy style single action revolvers this is a very good choice. You can get one in 38/357 and also you can get one with an extra 9 mm cylinder for even cheaper shooting. 6 inch or 7 1/2 barrel is good for hunting or 4 5/8 inch barrel for easier packing. Smith and Wesson---they make very good revolvers and usually right out of the box they will have a better trigger pull and be smoother than other Brands. But they are more expensive. Model 19 or 66 with a 4 inch or 6 inch barrel are very good choices. If you are doing lots and lots of shooting especially with magnum loads then a model 28 would be better. Taurus----some people like them and some people really dislike them. My dad has one has worked just fine. They are known for bad customer service. If you have one that needs to go back to the factory be prepared to wait. But they are cheaper than the others. Charter arms makes one that is suppose to be a decent gun but do not expect a nice sweet trigger or a fine fit and finish like a Smith and Wesson. If I planned on shooting it a whole lot then I would probably pass on this one. But they are pretty cheap. Basically I would recommend any Ruger or you can get any Smith and Wesson if you want to spend more money. I don't think you'll be sorry unless you get one with a totally inappropriate barrel length.
