Has Pretty much addressed your concerns and the only things that I would on the kits is to note whether or not the barrels come blued, as you might be hard-pressed to finish the barrel. Another trick I used when assembling kits, is to first assemble them to a working condition, disassemble, then fit and finish. ...
Now, getting back to the wall-hangers; There are those that are asking to be shot. Don't give up on them as I suspect there is a lot of life, left in them. My priority would be to work with these, get my feet wetter, then proceed with whatever else you have in mind. ...
I recently picked up a .36 wall hanger and not she shines!! ....
Be Safe !!!
