Guns are like cars, cycling, golf, etc.....there is a lot to it.

There are so many different "platforms" ...even within one mfg...that it is hard to keep up with. You have to just absorb a lot of info ....shoot a lot of differenet weapons ...and find out what suits you for any number of issues - weight, trigger pulls - how they break-how they reset - slack - creep / a lot to it ...sights, width, weight, balance...etc in revolvers is a really big thing....and a big thing in semi-autos as well...

Don't be in a rush / maybe pick up some books on revolvers - like Taurus and S&W and Ruger...that'll give you a crosssection of info. You'll find Taurus fans, S&W fans and Ruger fans...maybe even a few guys that like all 3...but very few things are strict black and white issues ..its all degrees of what you like or don't like....

Cost is also really relative...out of the literally dozens of revolvers made by S&W over the years...there are some that are well over $1,000 and some that are only valued at $ 150...even within one caliber.

Have fun with the process / don't believe one guy, one shop, one opinion...get a lot of info / form your own opinions.
