I think I may have decided on a revolver

S & W Model 620, stainless, 7-shot .357 magnum goodness!

I especially like the shrouded ejector rod (and to me it looks cool to have the ejector rod shroud NOT go all the way to the muzzle).

I also like how the locking slots on the cylinder are BETWEEN the chambers (i.e. at the thick part of the cylinder). Not that I would shoot hot reloads in it, but they say you shouldn't do so in a revolver where the locking slots are on the thin part of the cylinder. That may be an old wives' tale, but it sounds reasonable. The cylinder has to be really thin at that spot and might be more prone to let go.

It's in my price range. I just gotta decide for sure and find a way to fit it in my budget.

S & W Model 620.

Any warnings? Thoughts? S & W still makes quality firearms, right?
