[QUOTE="TallPrairie, post: 2874665, member: 7815"] I'd go with a pre-internal lock S&W K-frame, but I'd bypass the magnums like the Model 19 and 66 and try to find a nice Model 15 or 67, the equivalent guns in .38 Special+P. S&W also called the 15 the "Combat Masterpiece." :cool: [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_%26_Wesson_Model_15#/media/File:S%26WModel15-4_02.jpg"]Smith & Wesson Model 15 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/URL] Reason: If the gun's rated for .357 Magnum, there's more risk that the prior owner(s) shot it a lot with magnums, which [U]will[/U] shoot a K-frame loose -- I've seen it. Then I would get a reloading setup for .38 Special and shoot the ever living crap out of that revolver. Once you have a few thousand rounds downrange you may start to notice you can do things with it -- even in double action -- that you would struggle to do with most semi-autos. [/QUOTE]
