Further, I agree with you about revolvers, reliability and they being most suitable for low-time shooters (those who won't get extensive training AND practice often.)

Don't forget how affordable they are. As cops buy Glocks, great wheel guns come on the used market for $200-300 in .38/.357 to .45

I picked up my S&W 625 in like new condition for $300. I see a few 686 .38/.357 for $300 to $400 all the time.

10-4. However, like any piece of "machinery" look over a used gun thoroughly. Better yet, have a qualified gunsmith take a look. Don't buy a bargain gun only to find it's got problems - isn't in fact reliable without "corrective surgery."

You gotta admit the 625 for $300 was a real bargain. I paid that kind of money for a 696 and LOVE that gun. Unbelievably smooth and accurate. Not bad to carry for a 220 pounder, but I wonder for a smaller person.
