Whatever gun you buy, I think it does not have to be expensive, but it should be well made. Stick to that rule and try not to trade any of them away unless its for a better gun. First gun I owned was a modest little SW Model 10. I traded it at a LGS, so as you can guess I did not get much for it. I sure miss that Model 10. Doesn't matter how many people will turn their nose up at it, it was a nice looking piece of metal art, fired every time and had a nice weight and feel to it. Maybe one day, If I have a few bucks to spare and run across another one, I'll buy it and hold on to it for good.
