Revolvers are great, you'll love it. I shoot them better than I do pistols. Going with what jbirds1210 said, the S&W Model 10 is a classic that will serve you well in any roll, the 686 is a strong wheelgun that will put you up into the .357 Magnum range. Just to start you off with pics, here's an older Taurus 65 I've had for quite some time, it's a standard blue, fixed sight service revolver chambered for .357 Mag. I paid ~$185 + tax (used), it's been 100% reliable, it is all steel. Just do you're research when looking into Taurus, for the most part they are great firearms.

This S&W Model 19 is a 2 1/2" barrell .357 Mag with adjustable sights. This one's seen many, MANY miles in the holster. Bought this one used also, for $200 + shipping. Just changed out the well worn out mainspring, will get it to the range soon to verify 100% function. It too is all steel.

And if you're looking for deep concealment, there's always the trusty ol' S&W 642, chambered for .38 Spl +P. I got a great "buddy-buddy" deal on this one, but I think they're going for around $370 (???) now NIB. It's an Airweight, so it can be carried all day with no effort at all.

Good luck and let us know what you pick up, and be sure to show it off.
