Damn that’s tempting but it’s a bit more gun than I am looking for.

Dig around. There used to be Police Dept. turn ins on the market pretty cheap.

You could find Colts and S&W revolvers less than 1/2 price of new ones.
They had holster wear, but most had hardly ever been fired much at all.

[Outpost75]

I would look for an S&W 10-5 or later. Easy to work on, parts readily available. Used revolvers plentiful and affordable. A 2-inch, six-shot, round-butt, steel-frame version weighs 26 ozs. My EDC.

Rock Island makes a nice 38 that resembles a Colt snub nose! Around $200+ new!

I have a Taurus 685 that has been a flawless compact 38 so far, cost about $250-$275

For the money, a Rock Island 200 or the snubbie version(206 I think but not sure) would be hard to beat. Usually around the $220 or so. james

I bought the same pistol from "Grab A Gun" a few months ago for $199 and it has been a good weapon for the money.
