I have been thinking about a cheap revolver for SD and one that I wouldn’t mind losing too much if it was ever needed for self defense. SD guns in California tend to never get returned to their owners, from what I understand.
Anyway, this post isn’t about “Kaleepornia”. It’s about these Rock Island M206 revolvers. I was in a gun shop today and saw one for the first time. What an unattractive snubbie, but in reading reviews it gets high marks for reliability and sounds fairly accurate for what it is. But, I really don’t trust reviews by folks that earn a living writing reviews, in many cases.
Does anyone here own one of these cheap revolvers and would you trust it as a self defense gun?
I own a few revolvers but none that I wish to give up in a bad situation.
I figure for under $300 one of these M206’s might be a good knock around gun.
By the way, it won’t hurt my feelings if your opinion is that the gun stinks. It’s just an idea I am considering.
Thank you.
