I love revolvers, especially S&W. Th 686 for shooting, one of the K frames for carry and shooting. A model 19 or a model 15 is great for shooting or carry. The added weight of the L frame controls recoil a little better. The Rugers are very good guns but I prefer the action of the S&W over the Ruger. The J frame guns are good also but they are for experts not beginners.
