I was at an Academy Sports store in Houston yesterday, and was pleasantly surprised to see that they've started selling handguns now. For $259, there was a new Rossi 462 snubby in 357 Mag, made by Taurus. Very similar to a 605, but it's a 6-shooter and has the trigger-mounted firing pin that I prefer (looks better). Fired 100 rounds of blazer ammo through it today and had no problems whatsoever. Accuracy was average, as I'd expect from a snubby, and the grips do a good job in absorbing the 357 Mag recoil. It seems like a nice piece for a reasonable price.
