Already have a couple of semi-auto pistols, but now I got bitten by the revolver-bug. One is enough for me, however, so I want to get one that's "representative" of the "revolver breed".
I know I want double action, but it wont' be called upon for defense or even backup use, unless in a real emergency. It'll be there just so I have a nice shiney revolver in my collection. It should be a classic 6 rounder, in a common caliber. Idealy it'd have stainless or some kind of chrome, or nickel finish, you know, that kind of "shiney, sparkling in the sun type" revolver.
Barrel should be around 4", more or less, so it's not too large or small. I've seen the real short snubnosed 2", but that's just plain ugly. But can't be too large either, I don't have a large hand, I want one that's not too thick to handle for an average hand.
Oh, one more thing, I already have a Ruger, so no more Rugers. I'm thinking about Smith & Wesson or Colt type. Just something that's AMERICAN. The way I see it, the revolver is an American thing, just like cowboys and the Wild West.
If you can think of a revolver that might fit the requirements I've mentioned, I'd really appreciate it if you would post your opinion. Even better if you can post a picture. Price wise I dont' think revolvers should be that expensive, so I'm looking at $150 - $350 NIB (EDIT: now $150-$500 NIB), but please include a figure if you know. Also appreciate thoughts on what I should look for in a revolver, or if I have any misguided ideas about revolvers. Thanks for your help.
