If safeties were so great, Sam Colt would have put them on his first revolver. Now the question is what do you want, a Ruger, or Smith&Wesson? Sorry I didn't include Taurus, Rossi, or Colt. I don't trust the first two, and its been so long since Colt made double action revolvers its tough to find a decent Colt gunsmith. Smith&Wesson are the (Pre-Lock, and Pre MIM) caddies of revolvers, and Rugers are the tanks of the revolver world. Now when you buy a revolver you need two possibly three, one in rimfire for lots of fun(4 or 6 inch barrels), and small critter killing. Your second should be a GP100(four inch barrel) it makes it easier to conceal, or a Redhawk in .45Colt or 44Magnum. Four or six inch barrel. Last but not least you need to look at the LCR in .38+P, or the SP101 in .357 with a two, three inch barrel. Both make for excellent CCW revolvers. I may go to hell for saying it, but Ruger revolvers have surpassed S&W revolvers for everything you'd need a revolver for!</blockquote>
