So I keep going in to cabelas, and I keep ogling some poor saps old smith collection that he sold them. Kinda breaks my heart. But I want another Smith and Wesson revolver. My 610 is getting lonely. And every time I am in the woods I wish I either had a long barrel 22 pistol for squirrels while I’m hunting hogs or a long barrel 357 or 10mm for hogs while I’m hunting squirrels. So this comes down to two questions:
one: handgun hunting, or at least hunting with a handgun for a secondary game animal; is it worth it? What are your thoughts and experiences?
two: I was looking at the two pictured revolvers: a Smith 586 with 6” barrel for 999, and a 27-4 with 8 3/8 barrel for 1399. I’m not familiar with smith prices, are these at least fair? Which would you pick, and why?
Im also open to some reading suggestions to get me better acquainted with mith and Wesson revolvers.
