I'm looking around at getting a 3" revolver for home/range use. I already have a 642, and want something just a little bit larger for the range and home defense. I don't see myself shooting .357 mag out of it, so I can keep it simple and stick with a .38 special only gun (if possible).
What are my options here? I see S&W has the Model 64-3, and I know there are tons more of older S&W's that would fit the criteria. I don't mind used, but want to stay with something that's not too old. I guess this is staying in the K-frame family?
What other companies should I look at? The Ruger SP101 is intriguing, but that thing seems to be almost overbuilt for what I want to shoot with. Taurus? Colt?
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
