Get what ever you are most comfortable with, be it new or used. I agree with 44 AMP that the Smith & Wesson is the best option for what you want, since you have decided on a new revolver. It will have better resale value if you decide to trade for a 4 or 6 inch later. BTW recoil in a 357 snubbie isn't that bad, but the muzzle blast and report may take some getting used to. Wear ear and eye protection when practicing.
