Hi everyone, this is my first post and I just want to say that I have been using this site as a "non member" know for some time and have found many great discussions made by knowledgeable folks.
Here's my question. I'm looking for a concealed carry/trail gun as I turn 21 in about a moth and have some extra money saved up. I plan on shooting this thing a lot so durability is a big factor. I have a lee aniversery reloading kit (but no dies or molds). These are the 3 guns I have narrowed it down to.
First is the Ruger Sp 101 in .357 magnum with a 3" barell. Ammo is cheap and this is suppose to be a real durable gun. Can anyone tell me how accurate this weapon is?(I would eventually buy some dies and molds but that would be down the road) aprox. $500
next is the Taurus 415 (.41 magnum 5 shot) 2.5" barell. From what I can tell this is just a snubby Taurus tracker without porting. Some reviews show accuracy to be in the 2-3" range at 25 yards. Ammo is very expensive for this gun so I would have to reload (witch means buying dies and molds) but this is a lot of fire power in your pocket. aprox. $500
Finally the Charter Arms 44 special Bulldog Classic in a 3" barell. I've heard they are pretty accurate but the thing that scares me is I've heard long term reliability issues. Is this true? I would have to reload for this gun since 44 special is a little pricey (again this means more molds and dies) but the price is aprox. $400
By the way I have shot a 44 magnum accurately and i'm not afraid of recoil so none of these weapons should be a problem for me to shoot.
Thanks
