Help with first gun buy?

I may be confused but you are the one that asked for suggestions in the first place, right? I think you have already sold yourself.

Yea that was pretty confusing...

As far as a revolver and personal protection, I love the Taurus Judge. For ease of carry I had a nice little colt 380 that was small, easy to conceal and reliable. Just my two cents.

A K frame sized 38 or 357 magnum with a 4 inch barrel.

If you work in a gun store, what do you recommend to new shooters coming into the shop asking the exact same question?

I doubt you will find one for only $400 though. Most are going for $600 plus.

But I agree. A k frame S&W in .357 magnum is a great gun. I carry a S&W 66 a lot.
