choosing a s&w revolver for a college student

[Camster]

A used 6 inch K22 masterpiece. Here's why:

1. .22 because you mentioned target, not defense.
2. .22's help build good trigger habits and help not to pick up bad habits made from recoil.
3. It had a long enough barrel to create a very good sight picture for accuracy which will also build confidence.
4. .22 ammo is inexpensive and most college students are broke.
5. It's a classic beauty!!!

What he said.I wouldn't consider anything other than a K frame .22.

dear smith and wesson forum what would be a good revolver for a male college student to use for target practice at an indoor handgun range sincerely and respectfully mg357 a proud member of the smith and wesson forum

Model 67. K frame in 38 special, accurate for both target work and self-defense. Wide range of holsters, ammo and speed loader pouches, speed loaders and such for K frame. Ammo ranges from light wadcutter at one end of the spectrum for target shooting to 38 special +P FBI load (158 grain lead hollow point) for self-defense. It would be a good choice.
