Hey Guys,
I'm in the market for a new or used .357 or .38spl snub nose in the $300 or less price range. So far I've narrowed it down to a Pre-Hammer-Lock .38 Taurus SS, used for $220 (maybe less) or a new Rossi .357 for between $280 and $300. The general consensus around THR is that Taurus is a step up from the Rossi, although owned by the same entity. Seems like the Rossi's I've handled in the past have felt extremely solid and possibly better built than the Tauri I've handled...but that's just my impression. Any thoughts on these revolvers?

BTW-I'm not after a used S&W or Ruger...
