Hi everybody, I'm Marble. I live in the Carolina's and I'm looking for some help picking out a revolver. To make a really long story short, I'm out of work. Because of that we're relying on my wife's income, which means that she and I had to move to a 'questionable' side of town.
I'm going to take the CCW class and I was wondering if a Nagant 7.62 would be adequate to complete to course? There's one sitting in a pawn shop near me for 140 (on the sticker, that probably means 125 cash). I did some reading and I know the rounds are 2 for $1.00 and the double action is hard to pull. I've read that they shoot the 32 long (s&w?), but there's not much difference in price or availability of the cartridges. . . . . what are the other downsides in your opinion?
I know the firearm to save for is the Ruger sp100 .357 magnum, but, unless they open the plant back up. . . . . I'm not going to have that kind of cash for a while. Would the Nagant be useful as a shooter or is it more about the historical value and being "neat"?
You guys have already helped me more than you know. (I've been reading here for a month or two now, just lurking.) Seeing the Nagant revolver in the pawn shop today prompted me to ask you guys your opinion on buying it. Or what other type of revolvers are available in this price range? (single action is ok, might have to shoot the nagant single action from what I hear)
Thanks for any help or input of guys have for me.
