Hi
I am just starting pistol shooting here in Australia and the laws are rather more limited than in the US regarding calibres allowed. Basically I believe the largest you are allowed here is the .357
For a good all round gun which allows me to shoot most disciplines that my club runs I have been told to get a .357 since it will let me shoot .38's as well, 6" barrel and double action - which is a shame because the Freedom Arms pistols look to be a level in quality above everyone else.
The guys at my club have recommended the S&W 686 - is there anything else out there I should look at ? I want to get as high a quality pistol as possible so that I can only blame myself not the pistol !
Someone suggested the Colt Python as being the best however I am not sure if these are available anymore ?
Sorry for all the questions but from flicking through the posts on this site there seems to be some very knowledgeable people out there !
thanks for your help
