Default Bought two new revolvers

SW 29 44mag rev. 4in. Came with a nice wooden box. I have not and will not shoot this one.
The 2nd. Rev. SW 327-R8 -357 -8 shoot. This one i will shoot.
I saw that guys put a red dot on them. I don't know if i like to do that. Does anyone have a red dot on the Rev. ? The gun has a rail,so why not just put a light with a laser? I don't understand why the red dot on top of the gun and then to have a light on the rail.

Interesting engraving on the 29. Why won't you shoot it?

Congratulations because buying 2 or more revolvers at the same time is always one of those special moments that at least for me only occurred a couple of times.

Personal preference. Nice to have the mounting points for the all the various sight/light options.

Red dot sights like this C-more Railway is used in shooting competition such as Steel Challenge. Makes for a real fast game!

I did- some problems with firing pin ?
I will never know if there is a problem with this gun. When i'm dead and my son gets it. He will use it or sell it and will find out then. I thought about that when i bought my Sig 226 x 6. I never shot it. When my son gets it, he will find out.
