I'd really prefer a used gun. Am a bit concerned a 357 may have been abused. [I bought some used brass that was so bulged near the rim I had to disassemble my sizing die to travel clear to the rim. And now the brass is weak..........will bulge sometimes when seating bullets. I've addressed this in another post under "reloading".] Thanks for the replies so far. I'll do my homework about buying used revolvers and go from there.
