The only revolver I have is my dads colt 38 det spcl. I don't shoot it but once a year (sentimental).

I am not wanting to start buying several revolvers, just want one darn good one. I've narrowed it down to the 27 (would like .44 mag but don't want to pay the ammo costs).
Now on to the question, how do the new production runs from S&W compare to a used one, sure there's different degrees of quality/condition in a used gun but let's just say the used gun was in very good mechanical condition.
What would you choose.

Thanks
