Got to shoot one at the range today.
While I am an Auto (1911 & clones) fan, I have been thinking more and more that I should get a wheelgun.
Reasons:
1. I can
2. User Friendly for the wife, who is not mechaniclly inclined. She knows how to drop the mag, and clear the chamber, but would be confuddled by any sort of Jam, Misfeed or Stovepipe.
3. Did I mention I can?
Anyway, an older Marine who has been giving me pointers, and letting me try his various pistols, has one and I like it.
What would one be worth, and what are any problems I should be on the lookout for?
5 inch barrell in .357 is what he had. I am negotiable one inch either way, but would like .357 as a potent caliber that can easily be downloaded for practice with 38spl.
