Hey all. First post here!
i am a gun newbie for the most part i only have three right now. A mossberg 702 plinkster. A mossberg 500a, and a hi point c9 (i know, i know)
Im lookingbto get my concealed weapons soon~ish. I could grt it this weekend, but cant get it and a gun. And though i love the hi point as a truck gun, i wouldnt wanna carry it. I REALLY want a revolver. I feel safer with them vs a semi with one in chamber, and i feel not having one in the chamber is a loss of valuable time when you need it most.
(Please note, its my price range of semi's that i dont trust. Im sure a nice glock or xd is fine)
I can spend around $250 after all is done, i might be able to stretch it a little but doubt full. I know cheap guns are a no-no. And as much as i actually like my hi point, i might consider trading it if i find a $300-$350 gun i really like.
Can i find a good, safe, gun for this price? Im a married collage kid with my first born due in dec. So SAFE is a must. But i want to be able to protect us if need be.
Right now, im looking at this s&w model 10:
http://www.jgsales.com/product_info...ndition-s-w/cPath/16_211_431/products_id/3905
But i dont know if its good for conceal carry, if its safe considering its used, ect.
I found a couple new taurus revolvers for a little more, but there .327 and i dont know if want amything smaller the .380 acp. And really like the 257 mag and 38 specials.
Theres also this s&w model 64:
http://www.jgsales.com/product_info...ndition-s-w/cPath/16_211_431/products_id/3592
But after ffl fees i think its just a bit out of budget.
I know around here, a ccw is around $180 afterbpaying for classes. and giving the county/state there $112. (Im in hillsborough county florida)
Howbwould you rank these guns as far as weight, durability, reliability, and safety, as well as easy/hard to carry, im thinking IWB but cant say for sure til i try a few different ways.
Any other suggestions? I keep hereing "you can find "insert gun here" used for "insert price here". But cant ever find it when looking, both locally and online. So links are a plus!
Imblooking to purchase this weekend, tomorrow maybe, depending on price. I have a 3 day waighting period here, and i would like to take it to thhe range next weekend. Im going this weekend as well, but its too lste to get one by then, Unless trade my hi point, at which theres no period.
