    In for another 1k.

    haha, I just ordered another 1k for a 'why the hell not'  I"m sitting on a nice stash of 9mm, so much so I am contemplating either buying a cx4 or starting to shoot pistols with both hands!

    I would take Mrs. Peel's advice on trying first.  

    I agree with Glen and would strongly consider a 4" barrel as well.  Either  a Ruger GP100 or S&W 686 should do the job!  For a shorter barrel maybe the S&W 66 Combat Magnum w/ a 2.5" barrel or an older blued Model 19.  The K and L frame sizes are sweet!  An SP101 in a larger caliber would work, but unless you update the grip it probably won't be that confortable to shoot as Scorpio 64 pointed out and the larger K and L frames would work better for recoil.  Similar in size to the K frames are the Ruger Sixes that are in between the Ruger GP100 and SP101 in size and close to a S&W L frame.   Drum role please...

    Here is my recommendation... If you don't mind a little shorter than the 3" requirements you can get an OLDER and AWESOME Ruger Speed Six with a 2.75" barrel and round butt frame and fixed sights and nice balance.  If you are really lucky a rare Postal Inspecter model (GS33-PS) with a coveted 3" barrel is out there somewhere.  You could even find the Speed Sixes at a premium price in 9mm and moon clips that would keep your ammo consistent, but that variety would kick more than the .38s.  Yes, you might find some value in one of the older Ruger Sixes and that's what I would look for with your 3" (2.75" requirement).  Look into the Security Sixes and Services Sixes as well.  Not sure, but they should have equivalent barrel length and perhaps adjustable sights if that is something you want.  If you were thinking that the 3" might work to  carry later on then the  2.75" barrel will be even that much better!  If I was going to carry a revolver and didn't pickup one of those polymer Rugers the Speed Six would be my first choice!   Perhaps the only negatives are that you might be limited in grips if you don't like the one that is stock and S&W K-frame holsters should work.  Pachmyr Gripper Grips are nice and Hogue probably has something to still offer as well.  I always wanted to find a bicentennial model stamped with "Made in the 200th year of American Liberty" Speed Six!  Not sure if Ruger will still service these relatively bomb-proof revolvers, though, so there is that.

    For a "budget" revolver I would consider a Taurus 66 6 or 7 shot with a 4" in barrel and a supposed lifetime warranty.  These are decent quality and similar to their S&W counterpart with a slightly less desirable trigger.  Rutger's 95 has a good suggestion in the smaller Taurus as well.  

    As for a soft-shooting 9mm semi-auto, consider one of the CZ 75 flavors, and the matte stainless model would be a nice rendition, or possibly an alternative, a Baby Eagle Jericho 941 or one of the older metal Smiths such as the 39 semi-auto.  Redeye's suggestion of a PX4 would be nice as well; I've always wanted a compact PX4!  If I remember there was a South American company besides Beretta that had a similar rotary design but the brand//model escapes me. 

    You should definitely check out a Ruger Speed Six if you can find a nice one!

     

    Bersa?  Is that who you were thinking of perhaps?

    Semi I'd go xds

    Ditto!  1K ordered. Cheaper than steel 9mm for re-loadable brass ammo! Best deal out there right now!

    agree.  nothing even close, hell on our board wolf steel cased sold for 260..nuts

    the tula for 313 delivered is a good deal too.  granted it's tula but my kids' shoot now so it's good cheap ammo for them at the range

    Eh. If you are looking to kill the bad guy by sepsis, sure. But every time I see someone talk about 22 for defense I think of this case of a jewelry store robbery.  I forget if was an 8 or 10 round revolver, but the jewelry store owner got the bad guy with 8 rounds and got the first shot. The bad guy had a centerfire pistol (IIRC a .38 special) and missed with most rounds. The bad guy went to the hospital, the good guy went to the morgue. If you can't operate a 9mm well, you probably aren't operating a 22 great. And if you aren't using those features of the 22 to get shots to the brain or heart, the bad guy is probably going to do what they try to do until the adrenalin runs out. 

    Once you have to move beyond brandishing, there's going to be a problem unless you are really lucky or really good or enough of both. 

     

    yes and no but I get your point.  I'm not advocating for carrying a 22 but make zero mistake, they've put a lot of bodies in the dirt, are easy to learn, zero recoil and blast, fast easy follow shots and 40grs moving 1200fps in close range is going to give you a bad day.  Granted it's not penetrating 9-12 inches but just getting shot at is enough to stop most attacks on top of the fact that you less jerking and wrist play.   Me, I'm a 357 guy and don't think any handgun rd is better but I'm not carry a 6" 686 around either!  lol

    Hell anyone that laughs at 22 won't even stand 10ft in front of someone with a bb gun to get shot much less a 22    lol
