I wont lie, the only revolver i have played with was for but a single cylinder at a not defunct gun range.
This was a 7 shot taurus 66.
Im looking at either a now unavailabe/out of production ruger bolt action in 357 magnum, an impossible to find lever action in 357 that may not work with my shoulder now, or a hand gun.
The 686 and 586 are supposed to have a nicely pinned in front sight that is "really hard to replace", but every gun website online sells replacements for them and claims "its awfully easy".
GP 100 DOESNT have an easy to replace front sight. EVERY website claims it is easy to replace, but the only guns that appear to have a replaceable front sight are the stainless 7 shots. the blued ones all seem to have a drift adjustable front sight.
This whole gun is for target shooting and short range deer hunting. I liked the taurus 66 grips, but not the guns crappy spray paint finish.
