Thanks again for the info. I agree that adjustable sights are better (for me) than most fixed, the larger gap Jim mentions being a big part of it, obviously, it's nice to able to change your POA/POI if needed. I'm going to look around locally, see if I can come up with a used gun, you have all given me a pretty good idea of the various models I should look for. I don't mind blued guns, in fact, I get a bit tired of everything being stainless.
I did see some decently priced S&W model 10s & 15s in the Shotgun News, including a heavy barrel model, with a 4" tube.
That could be just the ticket, if it's in good condition.
Jim, I didnt think about the reloading problem using wadcutters, good call. I'm probably not going to have to really worry about the power factor too much, don't plan to get above the local SoCal competition level and if I did, I'd choose to use one of my "bottom feeders"
, as those are my favorite type of pistol.
But the revolver should be fun, fumbling for speeloaders etc!
