As long as its only going to be used as a self defense gun I would recommend Rossi.

WHAT???
You only have one life. Some people apparently do not place much value on theirs, or yours.
If it were "only a range gun" I could buy that. But "only a self defense gun"? Really?
I owned one Rossi revolver, a number of years ago. It would fire one round, and the cylinder would come un-latched and try to swing out maybe 1/8". Just enough so that a subsequent trigger pull did absolutely nothing. A good slap on the left side of the cylinder would lock it again, and you could get off another shot...and the cycle would repeat itself, every time.
If you have $300 to spend, there are a bunch of well-used, still perfectly serviceable S&W revolvers. These days, that is all I own.
My LGS has been getting and selling a bunch of 4" M64s that were owned and used by Brinks Security--they are apparently going to S&W M&Ps. My LGS was selling these M64s for $200 OTD. I have helped at least a half-dozen of these orphans find new homes. I'm not sure if they have any more, but if you pm me, I will check.
Best, Rich
