Lately I have found myself at a local indoor range shooting various pistols and revolvers with my girlfriends step-father and some of his co-workers... and really enjoying the hell out of it, although I've spent more time shooting rifles than pistols.
Some of the guns I shot just felt real nice, others for whatever reason I didn't really care for. I liked shooting revolvers... the only auto loaders that I liked were the 9mm Baby Eagle, and the .22 Ruger pistol.
It looks like I'm going to be spending more time at the range, and I've got my permit to purchase application in. Im thinking I want to buy a Ruger 22 Charger, with a Burris long eye relief handgun scope, and I'm starting to look for a .357 revolver. I dont really get to use my .22-250 ever because its too fast to shoot indoor, and I dont really have an easy outdoor range option... I didnt do enough research beforehand apparently. Tell me anything I might not be considering now please!
I'm thinking I couldn't get a much nicer .22 setup, unless it were somehow much cheaper.
I'm thinking that a .357 revolver with a 4-5" barrel, is what I would get most satisfaction with at the range, and its potent and simple in case god forbid I ever needed to defend myself it. I really admire the looks of some of the S&W classics, but really need something more economical I think. Should I look at Taurus? If Im looking at used guns, what do I need to be careful of? Any recommendations?
