Suggest either a 4" S&W Model 19 (.357 mag.) or a 4" Ruger Security 6 (.357 mag.). Both have adjustable sights and are fine revolvers. Sounds like you will be mostly be firing .38 Special ammo which is both available and still reasonably priced. The reason I'd pick adjustable sights model is 6 months after your purchase, you will still be happy rather than wishing you had spent a few more dollars in the first place.Hopefully, some of the veteran shooters can help. As the title suggests revolver beginner. I have tried a few revolvers 38 and 45 and do have a ruger wrangler in 22. Most of the shooters I know are into the polymers no idea on revolvers. So here I am. Looking for a reasonably priced good option. Most SW I researched are +500 or more. Just not sure. I was thinking about a 9mm but not sure of the moon clips. Open too all suggestions, plan on renting at the local indoor range. Just need ideas.. primary use home defense possibly carry. I just want a good revolver. Thanks in advance guys for your recommendations.... Joe
If budget is the main concern, pick up a S&W model 10. (.38 Spl.) Great revolvers, and lots of 4 inch available on the used market.
Good luck with your purchase,
