well a couple things . I know it's nit picking but.
Pistol is a singleshot
Revolver is a multiple shot in a rotating cylinder
So do you want a single shot or revolver.
If single shot I would recommend one same caliber as the rifle. One less item to carry.
In a revolver you really can't go wrong with either the Colt or Remington design.
Pretty much taste and aesthetics there.
Stick with the better made ones, Uberti, Pietta, or Pedersoli.
Traditions is fine, but in my opinion on the bottom quality wise.
For true knock down power stay with the 44's
But for general plinking and small varmits the 36 is fine.
