Smith & Wesson makes GREAT revolvers. The best in the world, for my money.
I have an M&P R8 revolver and it is so much fun to shoot.
If you are not fighting the cartel, you have plenty of rounds. Compared to my Glock, its the difference between a decked out Chevy Tahoe and an Ford escort. The escort would get you there, but the decked out big gun makes it worth the trip.
