I have a .22lr/22mag single action revolver and a .357 Ruger Blackhawk. I'd like to pick up a double action of each of those calibers. I like the idea of ammo availability as prices get higher and restrictions get tighter. I just picked up a .22lr revolver, double action, it's cheap but it'll do the job.
A friend at a local shop showed me a Taurus UltraLite 38 Sp for about $280 (could maybe get him down to $250). I was hoping for a .357, but a double action .357 gets pretty pricey, and at least I could use .38 Sp in the Ruger, as well. The lifetime warranty on the Taurus is nice.
I also saw a FIE Arminus 38 Sp at a pawn shop, I talked them down to $180 out the door, taxes and all. No warranty, but it'd take the same rounds the Taurus would. They're both 2" barrels, I believe, and probably shouldn't handle +P.
While this wasn't what I was looking for, he also showed me an H&R breaktop in .32 S&W, which seemed fun, for $75 out the door. Debating it just for fun, but it's kinda pricey fun.
Any opinions? I'd like to keep it cheap.
