I agree with the other posts regarding the advantages of a snubbie, but given the OP's stated purpose for the revolver as a fun range gun, I would strongly recommend against starting with a snubbie as your first revolver. They are more difficult to shoot accurately, and IMO much less fun to shoot. My suggestion, for what it's worth, would be for a 4" K or L frame 357 mag. That way you have the versatility of shooting 357 mag or 38 special. Someday you'll probably want a snubbie too, but I would not recommend starting with one or you might get discouraged with revolvers!
