Hi, being that I am not 21 yet I have to buy handguns privately, so I can't walk into a gun store and test fire/fondle them. This is why I seek your advice!
I know cheap and reliable don't normally coagulate, but I'm trying to figure out the best for my budget.
Yes, a Glock or other polymer Semi is much more pragmatic for a carry gun, but alas, my heart is SET on a .38 spl
SO
I have 300$ MAX to buy a Used .38 spl revolver.. what should I get? What would you get?
It will be something to carry (getting my LTCH soon) until I can afford something better to replace it. Basically I need something reliable that will always go BANG (except when I drop it!) Also I have smallish hands
I've heard mixed reviews about the EAA Windicator, stories about the wheel popping out when firing it.
I love the Taurus Ultra Lites aesthetically, but the trigger pull on them (or atleast the one I was using) literally ripped the skin off of my finger after only about 25 rounds.. was it just that particular one?
Heard mixed reviews about Rossi.. I suspect some gun snobbery going on though. The ones I have handled seemed worth the money (usually around 200-250$)
RG is junk.
Charter Arms??? experiences?
S&W and Colt are pretty much out of the price range here.. right?
The shorter the barrel the better.
I appreciate any input INGO's
