I need your opinion

[twsulli54]

Im a pretty expierenced shooter looking to purchase my first revolver. I want something that is heavy but not too heavy, speed reloader compatible, and iron sight accurate. Any suggestions? I could use some help.

SW 686 or their R8 both are .357. The R8 holds 8.

First wheel gun. Taurus 627. So much fun to shoot and looks great. Not practical with the long barrel, until I practice enough to take a whitetail with it.

IMHO, S&W, or Ruger .....

 

[malern28us]

Ruger Sp or GP. Rossi also makes a decent. 357 pistol.

I have a Taurus 607 7-shot .357magnum with a 4" ported barrel.
It's heavy, with a 3/4 lug, but not too heavy. The porting makes shooting full-load .357's a dream.

I've even used it to take deer and coyote.

That R8 is an AWESOME gun!

Older K or L frame S&W. A 4 inch 19 or 66 would be a great start.

 

[twsulli54]

I was looking at the r8's , are the barrels interchangeable on it? Or does the gun come in different barrel lengths?

Ruger GP100....best wheel gun ever

It is really hard to beat on older S&W K frame. Models 10 or 15 are quite common, and usually shoot rather well.

 

[bud1976]

S&W 686 are great and durable.

I'm with him.

If you want something a little heavier, try the SW 686 in a 6 inch or 8 inch barrel. It's a great gun with adjustable rear sights.

 

[barrelmaker_2002]

what do you want to spend???

 

[XtremeVel]

The Ruger SP101 and GP100 are both good choices but I will always prefer the discontinued Security six... It is heavier than the Sp101 but not quite as heavy as the GP100.

 

[eblevins]

go with smith

Smith and Wesson model 66 2 1/2 is a great carry piece and shoots incredable

Love my model 10! The Hogue grip makes a world of difference in control too. While I know snubbies are for up close and personal, I was hitting center mass at about 30 yards the other day.

Here's my vote as well, GP100 fits all your criteria and they are awesome guns. Built like a tank and sweet to shoot. I will also second a S&W K or L frame, 686's are nice!
