Hello all, RON L here
Indeed, I have to agree with many other posters here and say go with a proven Quality made Snub, as well, Great comments on the Armscorp Model 206, I have owned a few of Armscorps revolvers a 4" Model 200 and a 2" Model 206, both were great guns and only sold them off due to $ problems and not any falure of the firearms, I still retain a Rock island 45 and love it! I got a great deal on a S & W Model 36, as the guy had it robarted it, before he understood the loss of collector value, so I picked it up at a good $! I've had and shot a Lot of Charters, as well as a few of the other cheaper Snubs out there and think, that you'd be better served with a used anything like S&W or Colt, Over a Charter or a unknown gun, like a used Rossi or taurus that sometimes do work fine, but many times do not? Seen way too many folks with Quality control issues on Chharter arms to trust another one and Taurus is another company I have always liked but now, if I get a used one, I want to test it before I buy? Thats just how it is, do your homework, do some testing and searchingt, many used revolvers out there for sale as most want the latest Tacti-Cool" gun and these do show upo time to time at a decent $? I'd avid 357 in a snub, not enough return for way to much Blast, Muzzle Flash and all, I've tried +P in a few revolvers and that was bad enough, I'm, not a fan of 357 in a snub by experience! Try it and see? Go to a Range that does rentals and try one, I feel you will agree after that experince? if not, good for you?
