Good starter revolver for range shooting

[stroker-c10]

I have a S&W 66-2 .357 w/ a 4 inch barrel and I love it. I typically run .38 special through it but that is the advantage of running a .357, you can run whichever round you prefer.

S&W 686 (non lock) or Ruger GP-100.

I bought a used S&W 625 for $550 last year. It takes moon clips so you can use them for USPSA which is a sport everyone that with a pistol should be shooting!

N frame! Indestructible and heavy enough to make the recoil not so noticeable, especially shooting .38's.

If you're wrists are so bad lay off the darn ten-key. You accountants make me sick let me know if you're looking for help

Thanks to all for the input. I found a new Ruger GP100 (4 inch barrel) at my local gun shop yesterday. It seems to be built like a tank. I'm a big guy and it feels good in my hand. Fit and finish not up to S&W standards, but not bad. I loaded up some regular pressure 38 specials (158 gr) last night. With a little luck, I'll get out to the range tomorrow. Thanks again.

Ruger makes some good revolvers for the money.

I agree with Stingray you can't go wrong with the 617, sweet wheelgun.

Another vote for a Ruger SP101 or GP100
