And to add how do you feel about used guns, should I be worried about wear.

There is a sticky at the top of the revolver forum which explains how to inspect a used revolver. It's worth looking at.
imho getting a used gun is the most sensible thing to do. Most modern semi-autos from major gun makers will work fine for thousands of rounds. If you buy one that is clean and rust free the odds a greatly in your favor that it will be a good shooter.
Single action revolvers are really simple mechanisms that you can learn to take apart and put back together in an afternoon. Once again the odds are in your favor if you buy one from a major gun maker.
Double action revolvers can be problematic. These types of guns can look real nice but have cylinders that are out of whack or have bent cranes from to much horse play.
While I would be confident buying a used double action I'd worry about someone not familiar with guns buying one. The odds are still in your favor but being wrong could lead to some unpleasant event.
