Looking to get my CCW license within the next week or so. I've done a bit of research and decided that I'd like to go with a revolver. What are some good, reliable options in the $300-$500 price range? I've had my eye on the Rock Island M206, but would prefer to buy American if possible.
I have shot the Taurus Judge Public Defender with a polymer frame. I was shooting 2.5" .410 shells with #8 birdshot. the gun is pretty light and pinky has nothing to grasp onto. You will rarely practice with it because it hurts to shoot. I can shoot 200rds from my Glock 17 and my hand is just fine afterwards. But after 5 rounds through that Public Defender, I didn't want to shoot it anymore. You will feel the pain from the recoil in the webbing between your index finger and thumb.
