Hi All,
Need your insight - I'm trying to help a female friend in California who wants to buy a handgun. She stopped at a Bass Pro and checked some out, and the sales guy recommended a S&W Model 60 revolver.
I think a .38 or .357 (shooting 38s and then working up to 357s over time) might be the way to go, but am not sure if the S&W Model 60 is the best revolver to recommend - are there others (say a Ruger or something else) that you might choose over the Model 60? I have heard some of the Smiths might have issues, but only shoot a couple of Ruger semis myself, so I don't have any personal experience.
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.
