Looking for conservatively priced Revolvers.

[sectshun8]

I'm looking at the potential of picking up a revolver or two for my collection and fun at the range, but not looking to get too crazy into them. My only experience with the type is from a S&W 642 w/ Crimson Trace grip. I'm looking at a sub $400 range, caliber is a non issue. Thanks for your replies

Used Ruger Blackhawk. I've picked up a used, but in as new condition, Blackhawk and Single Six for under $400, under $300 for the SS. They're pretty easy to find at stores or gunshows and after my S&W 686's the Blackhawk is my favorite wheel gun. The 'convertable' Blackhawk comes w/ an extra cylinder in 9mm so you can shoot 357/38/and 9mm.

Revolver

My first, and only revolver, is a .38 special Ruger LCR. You can find them around $389 @ gunshows here. It has a comfortable grip & a smooth trigger pull.

CDNN has some used S&W64 Revolvers.

Check out alans armory. My dad bought a very reasonable revolver there, and said the guy was excellent to deal with.

On the used market four hundred bucks can get you a pretty good piece around this time of year. Folks tend to unload some of their guns to off-set their holiday shopping. Like anything else, new guns do depreciate just like a car so you are always better off if you can find something used. I often see flawless examples of this and I tend to stick things on layaway in case I get cold feet.

Why buy used? CDNN's last flyer had the Ruger 50th Anniversary .357 Blackhawk for $379 (which is less than I paid!).

Haunt the local gun shops, and pawn shops ... Plenty of great stuff in the used display cases. S&W's, Colts, Dan Wessons, .... tarus, and rossi too.

smith and wesson model 10 they are still afordable and shoot great. I have one for the house and I'am going to pick up another this weekend

Ruger GP's or SP's easily fall into the range you are looking for.

That's a LOT of gun for the money!

I was actually wondering about the S&W 64s. Anyone else have opinions on them, especially with the bobbed hammer and DAO?

Thom... After a thorough check out... a 64 would last a life time... probably two.
