I have a little .22 single action that I've been working with for a few months and I am starting to get to a point where I feel a little confident with it. So to remedy that I've been thinking about getting something a little bigger.
The current thought is to graduate to something in a magnum caliber. Call it a home defense/range weapon, if we are looking for a role for it to play. So it can be a little bit larger than something for CCW, and I would prefer an exposed hammer so I could still mess around in single action.
I'm not necessarily recoil adverse in rifles but I'm largely a noob about handguns of any description, I was thinking that this would probably be my only centerfire revolver for a while so a double action .357 would be the most flexible. I really don't know how well I'd handle a .44 and anything in .41 would be a special order, and probably require that I step up my reloading game, same thing with .45 LC.
Any helpful hints, potential pitfalls, things that you would like to change if you had a do over on your first revolver. There's a rental range that I think has some rugers and maybe a Smith and Wesson I can try out.
Sorry in advance for the spend my money thread.
