Maybe but by no means the best choice, I can’t name an American agency that authorize one for carry or duty...my o2In your price range, Taurus is the bang for your buck IMHO.
Regardless of what agencies authorize, in that price range I think the Taurus 605 Defender is the best choice. Hogue, VZ, or Altamont wood grips. Pinned Tritium front sight. Stainless frame and cylinder from machined from bar stock with the finish options of black oxide, cerakote, plain stainless, or two toned stainless frame and black oxide cylinder.Maybe but by no means the best choice, I can’t name an American agency that authorize one for carry or duty...my o2

There is plenty of ammo in my area albeit expensive. I think it probably depends where you located.An SP101 is the answer if you are leaning more towards carry (the smallest 357 worth shooting IMO), and a Ruger Six-series or K frame with a 4" barrel if you lean more towards range use.
The hard part is going to be finding ammo for it... I haven't seen 38s or 357s on store shelves in a long time.
I just saw a security six at bass pro for $300. That's a hellofa deal for that quality of gun.
Unless that was a beater, I would have bought it on the spot. That's about half the price of what those guns go for around here.
My favorite SA is an Old Model Ruger Bisley Vaquero in 44 Mag. I have never shot the really big stuff but standard 44 Mag (240 Grain) factory loads are not a problem at all and the grip is fine (if maybe a bit large for my medium sized hands). People that shoot these guns a lot say the rounded grip of the regular SA is better for big loads because the grip rotates in your hand and absorbs some recoil. The Bisley will not do that as much and tends to stay in your hand so the felt recoil is different but for me it has never been a problem. In CASS competition recoil wasn't an issue but I shot Duelist Class (one handed) and the Bisley was faster for follow up shots because the hammer is closer to my thumb & easier to reach and cock.I've been thinking of adding a Bisley or Vaquero to my collection of revolvers in .357 and was wondering if the shape of the handle on the Bisley makes it unpleasant to shoot or control. Do you have any issues controlling muzzle flip?
