I’ve been hunting my whole life so I am familiar with long guns like the M1903 Springfield and the Winchester Model 21, but only recently have I become interested in pistols and revolvers/concealed carry etc. There is an S&W Model 29 in the family and it’s beautiful and really cool but for me it’s too much, I feel like it’s great to keep in the house just in case of an intruder or to bring out camping or hiking on the chance we encounter a bear. Two firearms that I really like, that seem more my style are the Colt Detective Special and the Smith and Wesson Model 36 Chief Special, both of these are for sale within an hours drive for me, both are blued and were made in the 80s and the prices are comparable. The only discernible difference I can find is that the S&W has one less shot. So how do these compare?
I am also interested in the Ruger Security Six and the S&W Model 10 but neither of these are for sale within driving distance at the moment and I do not want to make a purchase like this unseen.
Thank you so much for your answers and I hope that you have a great day!
