I'm looking to build my collection up a little with a 1st wheelgun. In keeping with the 'cheap' factor, I'm looking for a decent revolver in .357 Magnum. I plan on running mostly 38 Specials through it, but I do want the Magnum capacity. I do have a few questions.
1. Will running 38 Special in a 357 do any damage? I don't reload yet, generally shoot generic WWB or Federal or PMC. Looking at ball, SWC, and hollowpoints for defense.
2. What sort of durability difference is there between 38 and 357 if I'm only running 38 +P?
3. How accurate are snubbies? I'm looking at a barrel length of 4 inches or less, but I want to be able to shoot relatively well (man-size target at 50 meters).
4. How are the Charter Arms pistols, or the Rossis? I'm looking to do all of this for under $400 if possible. Taurus and a used domestic are options too, I suppose.
5. This is going to be mostly for CCW...any advice?
6. Also, finally, I'm looking for something with six rounds. Five is workable, but I'd prefer six.
Thanks y'all!
