Every newbie such as myself is tempted to ask "what's the best gun in the world?" which is a ridiculous question for obvious reasons.
So I am going to concentrate on quality and repair issues.
A gun is a machine, and thus it is prone to wear and breakage. Craftsmanship, Usage, and Maintenance, are the only three things I can see that go into what makes a gun last a long time.
Since I control usage and maintenance, my concern when purchasing the gun is the factory quality itself. So I am wondering:
1. With the exception of ltd editions and antiques, is it true you get what you pay for? Or is it like trendy T-Shirts where you pay an extra $50 for the brand name?
2. What is the most likely component to stop functioning in a revolver?
4. Not including gunsmith labor, what is the most expensive component to replace in a revolver?
5. Which repair, replacement, or adjustment is typically the most expensive to pay a gunsmith to perform?
6. Which Revolver models are famous for being built tough and durable?
