Hi! I'm a newbie (a week), albeit an old one.
In the 80s I quit going to the range and gun shows and sold off most everything.
Recently bought a 38 for the home at Mark's in Westfield and went to Tim's Shooting Gallery also in Westfield to try out a .357 and couple of ones I kept from the 80s.
B/C of that I'm interested in getting a .22 for target practice, and I sold off the 1/2 dozen I used to have (back when $20-$50 would pick up a plinker.
I don't know which direction to go:
get just one really good one (found a S & W for $400)
get a really used but functional one like I used to do: $100=$150ish
Get a new Heritage (-$200)
buy 2 or 3 for variety
I usually like revolvers for practice.
I did run across a Rossi Luger style for $200 and a Sig for $290
I am a SS lover, or at least a nickel coated, but for the price I've had everything inexpensive in my younger days.
I really don't plan to do much, so instead of buying a revolver and a "luger" style, perhaps just 1 of a better quality.
I can't help myself, though, when I run across that ugly duckling that noone wants, but shoots well.
Any input about what brands to stay away from that are inexpensive b/c resale will be terrible compared to more expensive one, like that S&W for $400?
