Which Revolver do you perfer and why?

6" S&W m17, the old model with the slim barrel. These revolvers are very accurate, cheap to shoot and good for a lifetime of informal plinking.
 
I love my stainless Raging Bull (.44mag). I like modern (looking) guns and RB is as good as it guets :)

plus can't really complaint about accuracy or quality...
 
Wow, so many guns, so little money, yet all your suggestions have given me some place to start in my search. For those of you who mentioned the 22s, I am looking at them as well, thinking semi-auto. Thanks for all your ideas.
 
686-3 for me......great finish, great balance, nice sights, best trigger, both double and single action I've seen on a revolver.

Which wheelgun?

I own a S&W 586 4", a 29 4" and a 36 2". Can you tell that I am sold to S&W. Since you cannot own prohibited guns, I strongly suggest you get a 6" 686. It's a great gun with a much smoother trigger than Rugers. You can shoot 38's for cheap and 357's when you want a little more action. Have fun and be safe.

Yep, except now the gun can't be holstered, all else being equal. Also, the Surefire shown in the picture is only made with custom-fit switches (the DG-13/14/15/17 series), nothing for any revolvers. Might or might not be able to fit this application.

I wrote S&W, let's see what they say.
 
It seems to me that revolvers with leaf-springs are easier to get good trigger pulls on, especially double action triggers. The S&Ws, earlier Colts and the Pythons usually come with very good, or better, triggers right out of the box.
Personally I'm a Ruger fan; but you need to have work done to get good triggers on them.
In calibers, .22 rf would probably be best to start with; but if you are going centerfire, .357 mag, because you can still shoot cheap .38 spec. And once you start to reload it's very versatile.
 
If I was you I'd go with Colt Python or Anaconda. Both look, feel and shoot great, you might pay a bit more but if you look after the gun you'll always get your money out of it if you feel like selling it down the road. I wouldn't by Ruger, they are solidly built but feel like a brick. I just picked up a S&W 629 (44mag). Decent gun but nothing like the Colts.
 
S&W is certaqinly the king of double action revolvers. Ruger is known to be a little bit more of a durable revolver, but that to me is opinion. Colt is the most expensive. You can't go wrong with any of them, if you want a single action, the best gun for the $$$ is the Ruger Blackhawk or Super Blackhawk. Another revolver to watch out for, but they are very rare here, is the French Manhurin, very good revolver, but big $$$.
 
Because I don't CCW as long as I can lift it the weight of a handgun really isn't much of a drawback, infact it's often the opposite, for me.
I guess I was one of the few that wanted ParaOrdinance to build frames out of berelliyum-copper (twice the density of steel), like they first planned.
