I am a fan of the revolver. It takes some practice to become proficient with a snub nose, but it can be done. That said - a high quality revolver, with a good trigger, is essential.RECIT wrote:I am wanting a revolver...why I don't know but they have an appeal to them I can not shake.
I would stick to a rimmed cartridge, which would eliminate the .45ACP and the 9mm. There may be nothing inherently wrong with a revolver with rimless cartridges, but I still can't get behind them. The .44 Special is a great cartridge, but I think that is only available in the Charter Arms Bulldog. I don't think much of their quality. I wish that Smith & Wesson manufactured one. For concealed carry, that pretty much leaves the .38 Special and .357 Magnum. If it weren't for the five shot capacity and the name, I really do like the S&W 60LS and the 36LS [Ladysmith].
Many of the newer, smaller, and lightweight revolvers carry only five shots, but I would also suggest that you stick with a six-shooter. The light weights may be easier to carry, but I haven't been able to master the art of shooting them accurately. I hope that I have been some help.
