Greetings all,
As username shows, I'm Kevin and I'm from NJ. New here, but not new to firearms or S&W in general. I am newer to revolvers, which is one reason I've registered here, after lurking on and off for several years.
I'm in the market for a revolver, for various reasons, besides my Heritage .22LR. I absolutely want one that's better quality. The Heritage is fine for what it is at the price point, but I want something nicer. I've decided on S&W, Ruger or an older Colt. I've read too much about Colt quality problems. Yes, all mfg will ship a dud. The key is how often and how they handle it.
I have much homework to do first though. As well as try to get my hands on some. My copy of S&W Standard Catalogue 4th Edition is scheduled to be delivered today. I anticipate that and you fine folks here with much more knowledge on the subject then me will aid me in my selection.
I'm open to new or used, except Colt. I'm leaning slightly towards used in S&W just out of principle with the Hillary hole. As with anything, price will be a factor. I'm looking for a 3" .357/.38 Special. I think they will fit the intended purpose.
