[jrbaker90]

Looked at a makarov and the tokarev the only problem I have with them is that its hard to found ammo for but I can get it at calelas for around 20 a box but I don't like ordering if I can help it I looked at a s&w 357 for 350 that has got me interested in a s&w good friend has a s&w in a 38 he is going to let me shoot I have never shot a pistol bigger then a 22 so I will make a more info pick thanks

stay far away from High points. They are big POS guns.

Another vote for a Model 10. Finest combat revolver ever made as far as I am concerned. Load it with Buffalo Bore 158 gr LSWCHP +P for self defense, cheap 158 gr. LRN for practice.

I have to say I really like the s&w model 10 too I have look at them on gun broker and they are some in my price range in 38 special. How would the 38 special be to take hunting as a backup not to hunt with thanks

I think a Walther PK380 would be an easy handling gun if you can get your hands on some .380 ammo. The GP100 gets my vote for best do it all revolver.

I carry a Model 10 as a backup weapon when hunting. I use a 170 gr. LSWC Kieth load for that purpose.
