Ain't it nice when you ask for one kind of advice and everybody offers you another? ;) Revolver Armorer in Suffolk; knowledgeable, professional outfit -- wheel guns are a speciality, but they work on everything.

The Humungus approves...

Is your extractor bleeding? ;)

For $300 dollars, the seller either doesn't know what he has...or does. If you did your checks thoroughly and you're quite certain there are no issues, buy it and bring the guy a six pack. But I'd give that HP a second, very close going over.

saltydog452: effectively and relatively comfortably concealing a K-frame inside the waistband has a lot to do with having a good holster and belt, what clothes you wear, and -- especially -- what kind of build you have. Presume if looking at K-frames, you're considering a snubby? There are...

What's surprising isn't that it happened, but that it doesn't happen more (perhaps it's an underreported phenomenon; alternately, perhaps there's more decency and honest transactions out there than one might think). But bottom line: meeting strangers for an exchange of cash and firearms seems a...

Have you zeroed which exact model(s) and in what configuration(s) you're looking for and at what price range?

Interesting -- I'm of the understanding that the 4" Model 15 and Model 67 are identical save for the 15's carbon versus the 67's stainless. There were some 15's with heavy barrel profiles...

Greetings and welcome. :) That's a terrific but really open ended question -- so many great revolvers to consider. Personally, I'd look for: Model 10 and 64 heavy barrels in the 2, 3, and 4" inch varieties; Model 19 and 66 2.5"; and Model 27 3.5"...but there are an incredible number of...

Where in the article does it state Dosser was aware of the clerk before he entered the store, after the robbers departed?

OP specifically states, regarding the barrel, "thinner is better". The heavy barreled revolvers aren't advised.

We can speculate, but at present the only thing we have to render an assessment from is the article and Dosser's quotations in it. He said the men were "super agitated" -- that covers a lot of potential scenarios, to include those mentioned and more. Then he saw the gun and drew his, although...

Dan Wesson ECO.

A daughter for a Colt Python? Fair trade. ;)

No quite. Bird shot? You're likely correct unless someone is looking straight up. Buck shot? No, that has potential to injure. Slug? That can kill traveling in a high arc or falling at terminal velocity.

Glad it all worked out. Dosser pulled and displayed his weapon before he knew what was happening. It was luck the armed men turned out to be robbers -- they could have been undercover officers, other concealed carry citizens attempting to render assistance, etc. Any could rightly have shot...

Just my experience... Range time. Mindful dry fire -- learning the characteristics of aim and trigger control on this specific model. A gentle smoothing of the contact points in the lockwork narrowed my already decent groupings noticeably. This should be done only after you've learned...

I'll gladly trade period correct grips for the 13-2 in exchange for the gun itself? ;) Well done on an incredible trifecta...

Staying exclusively within defined parameters -- and presuming in citing .38 Special you mean .38 only, not .38/.357 -- there are only two choices that exactly match your criteria: Model 67, pre-1980 for a pinned barrel; or a tapered barrel -- not heavy barreled -- Model 64, briefly produced in...

I'm surprised, buckshot'll maintain terminal effectiveness well past 13 yards; we were trained not to switch to slugs until around 40 yards and out.
