[QUOTE="Brandi, post: 2407620, member: 24446"] If you want to carry then the 3" GP100 is the best IMO. Your profile says you're sixteen so don't you have a couple years before that's a possibility? You just can't go wrong with a Ruger, you just can't. The stuff about the lock equipped S&W's locking up is baloney, I've never heard a single case of it happening other than today someone saying they heard from someone from someone... blah blah blah. Here's the deal, S&W has decided to add locks to the guns, you can use it or not use it, your choice but it doesn't change the point of the gun. I've got a S&W 629 V-Comp with the lock, which I don't use and never even notice, it's a non-issue except for all the butthurt out there. Do I think the lock is necessary? Nope, there are plenty of other options but it's there so get over it. Although, with all the butthhurt people saying they won't buy a S&W with a lock (which means no new S&W for them) it just means it's far easier for everyone else to find the gun they want. So, in that respect, maybe the lock was a good idea. I will say that shooting my 629 V-Comp is AWESOME and I would have been so mad at myself for denying myself that kind of awesomeness over something that has not a bit of effect on the gun, or the fun, unless you choose to it to. I might just start complaining about the lock myself, really trash talking it, leaves more guns for me to choose from. Anywho, Ruger or S&W are the two big dogs on the block and you can't go wrong with either. Avoid the "bargain" choices like the plague, you aren't saving anything in the long run. There are cheap brands that are decent guns but it's often a case of being a gun to gun crap shoot, as in one may be great and the next one a POS, case in point - Taurus. Capable of building an excellent gun but terrible at making excellent guns all in a row. Not to mention the resale value on a Taurus or a Charter Arms or .... is horrible. Ruger's are tank tough and swiss watch reliable, S&W's are a little more refined and usually have a better trigger although Ruger is rapidly catching up. S&W has tons more options but they aren't that great at shooting heavy loads repeatedly while Ruger's laugh at +P+P+P+P+... The good news is between Ruger and S&W you have your choice of the greatest number of the best revolvers ever available at any other time in history. It's a virtual smörgåsbord of choices..bon appetit! [/QUOTE]
