You're in the right place, lots willing to help. A couple of questions: What do you want to use the gun for; are you an experienced handgunner; and what is you home/family situation (young children around)?

Just some food for thought.

Hey all, single, no children, not dating, couple of cats, bookish, quiet, old (50's) . . . and let's just say I live in a neighborhood that's becoming scary there are so many breakins.

This will be my first gun and I've got classes lined up just to show you how seriously I take the training and safety end of this. Look, I'm a mild-mannered insurance agent and a wanna-be sci-fi writer, but the neighbors have been broken into twice now and I just want to be able to protect myself in these days of quotidian gloom.

I'll meet up with you all in the regular forum so we can get down to business. Thanks for the friendly reception.

A 4" Smithy K frame or L Frame would be my suggestion i.e a Model 10, Model 15, Model 19, (the stainless versions are 64,67, and 66) . The L Frame that I like is the 686.

Get plenty of 38 special ammo and practice. If the grips don't fit you too well you can easily buy different grips to fit you better.
