I'm considering a revolver just to casually shoot some targets at 25 yards. I'm talking about a play gun for relaxation, not for competition, hunting or self defense. Above all it need to be fun, then accurate, and then if it's pretty, that's wouldn't be a bad thing at all.
Which gun? I think I'm leaning towards a single action just because they look cool, are fun to shoot and because I love my 22LR/22Mag Single Six. I believe I also read here that single actions are inherently more accurate. Of course, There are some really sweet S&W target guns like the 45ACP targets and the model 15s so my mind just isn't made up yet.
Which caliber? .38 special is the price leader of cheap ammo, but this gun will be shot slow fire. I don't think it would be getting a heck of a lot of rounds through it. (Nobody even makes a single action in .38 special do they?) A .357 would be nice and I'd be able to shoot .38s in it as well, but I don't know if .38s are as accurate in a .357. A nice low pressure 45ACP is always fun and makes very satisfying near 1/2" holes in the target. Then there's the classic fun of 45 Colt in a single action.
So do any of you guys have a wheelgun that you just love to go out and shoot up paper with? Tell me about it.
