To put this thread back on track...

You can't go wrong with a Taurus revolver.

No need to get the .357 just because you don't have one, unless you just want to. The .38 +P is one helluva round.

In fact, the pistol that I got for my wife is a Taurus .38, loaded with Hornady .38 +P. Super light, yet heavy enough to be controllable.

 

To take it back OT, a car is a type of motorcycle with 2 added wheels and an enclosed passenger compartment.

 

No one really cares whether it's a revolver or a pistol or both.

 

Bingo, we have a winner

 

pointless argument is pointless. Pull the little dingle while the thingy is pointing at something you dont like and it falls the same way.


My favorite right now is actually the S & W N-Frame 357. Its an 8 shot, weighs next to nothing (but if you have any kind of grip, doesnt feel bad at all), and is a custom shop model with some great sights and trigger work. Cannot go wrong with that guy. The 686 however is a great "base" gun, but definitely needs work to make really slick.

 

In addition to lacking a 357, I also want one. I will make it to a couple of shops this week and handle a few of the different models. I'm thinking a 4" barrel for a good combination of carrying and distance shooting. I will let you guys know what I decide on!

 

definitely check out the smith and wesson thunder ranch .45 acp revolver...literally perfect for what you are looking for.

 

Picked it out today and we are on our way home!
