I have a S&W Model 10, and it's absolutely my favorite handgun. It's super accurate even at fairly long distances. In my opinion there's nothing more fun to shoot than a revolver. My model 10 is my home defense gun and lives in the nightstand loaded up with hollow points. It's a little on heavy side for daily carry (again, in my opinion), but it would sure be great gun to learn to shoot a handgun with.
