Hi, All
I'm anticipating being hired within the next several weeks by the folks I've been working for as a contractor.
Even without a raise, not having to pay for my own health insurance will mean that I'll have much nicer cash flow, and I'll be able to start saving up to buy my wife a revolver.
After some extensive "in store" searching, it became clear that she doesn't care for autos, and fell in love with the S&W 640's size, looks, and smooth action. It was literally the only gun they had available that fit her hand, and the action was very smooth.
I'd like to steer her away from the S&W brand, so I'm thinking Taurus or Ruger.
I'd also like the gun to have more than a 2.25" barrel.
So, here is what I'd like to find...
A non-Smith, J-frame-sized, 3"+ barrel, slim wood grips, in .357 or .38+P (oh, and a nice, smooth trigger action would be great) in double action.
Light weight isn't an issue, since she probably will not ever carry the gun. She works from home, and I want something she can put on the desk next to her to replace the Model 10 that is there now (which is too big for her to handle comfortably).
I'm not looking for cheap prices... "lifetime quality" and reliability are more the keywords...
Thanks for your thoughts on this...
