You take nice pictures of nicer guns Marauder.
I have more revolvers then semi-autos, This is my S&W set. Model 27, 57, and 29 all 8 3/8 inch.
I am probably a couple of years away from owning a handgun, but I am seriously looking at a Rockisland M200 .38 special. 4" barrel to me is perfect and other than one negative review where the guy got one with bent sights, all other reviews are super positive and Rockisland seems to stand behind their guns from what I have heard, so they'd probably no big hassle fix an issue. They seem to be running about $250 and have very nice triggers.
Newman! Should have checked this thread earlier. Sold, but no surprise. Great tip.http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_7_88/1536533_Kahr_E9__Fie_Titan__Colt_Detective_special.html
I don't have the funds with this baby coming, new house, and I just bought myself a 5 foot marble bar but if it's in good condition 400 shipped for a colt detective special is a good price. I'm sure you could get it knocked down $25 bucks and that would be an AMAZING deal!

I mostly want something to plink at the range for cheap and something if I do end up owning a hunting and SHtF property that I can carry around doing odd jobs on the property and not care too much if it gets muddy, rained on, etc. something to that if I can talk my wife in to learning how to shoot it would be a nice gentle introduction to handguns.

.38sp might not have a lot of stopping power, but it can still get the job done, especially if you put several rounds in to a person, which is a little easier to do with a light recoiling pistol. Bonus points that over penetration isn't as much of a worry and misses get stopped a lot faster in walls and furniture.
A used S&W Model 10 could be had for not much more than $250. It would be a much better revolver, but maybe you don't want to pay the extra cash. You won't regret buying a Smith.
Nice! My 586 only has 4 inches. I'm feeling inferior.
