I'm thinking about picking up a new revolver for home defense and punching paper. Today I handled a Model 15 priced at $400 and a Model 28 priced at $500.
The Model 15-3 had a 4" barrel and handled and pointed very nicely for me but had a bit of rust built up behind the hammer close to the wooden grips. Other than that the gun appeared to be in good shape and the trigger was very nice.
The Model 28 had a 6" barrel and was also in nice shape. To be honest the barrel looked like it was 5" but I don't think that's possible.
Which do you think is the better value and/or the better choice for keeping on the night stand?
