Hello /k/. I'm new to guns, but would like to purchase a handgun. Preferably a revolver. Recommendations? About how much should I expect to spend on my first handgun?

Revolvers are for ginny hoods. Get a Glock.
get a snub nosed .357
if you want a revolver expect to spend 600-1k for something new and not a pos taurus
meanwhile 600 will get you the majority of semiauto pistols on the market
>>30110262
For a handgun look up cdisales on GB.
For a revolver, I would recommend either a model 10, model 13/65(.357 Grea gun), 19/66(sixties are Stainless)
Colt lawman or Trooper.
Ruger GP 100. Would also recommend the S&W model 586.
For Snubnose a colt detective special(agent is just as good, lighter aluminum make) 2" model 10 or model 36/37 or model 38/49 or Ruger SP 101 for a snubnose.
For cost, I say 200-400 for some, like a S&W model 10, maybe a charter arms.
But most will be 400-600 plus, some like the 586 will be more likely 500-800+(Could get a new one for 7-730 but has a key lock)

I would say other then the hi point, Glock is a nigger gun.
Ruger Alaskan in .454 casull.
>>30110319
That's what I figured. Did some browsing and the majority of what I saw was 500+
>>30110320
Thanks, those all look pretty nice.
>>30110335
That's a little rich for my blood.

an ideal first revolver is a medium frame .357 Magnum with a 4" barrel and adjustable sights, made by S&W or Ruger.
.357 is powerful but manageable, great for self defense.
.357 Magnum revolvers can also chamber and shoot the cheaper and even more abundant .38 Special ammunition.
a 4" barrel is well balanced in the hand and gives much better ballistics and sight radius than a snubnose, and is still easy to carry IWB, OWB, or in a horizontal or vertical shoulder rig.
a medium sized frame will soak up the recoil well, without being heavy to carry.
adjustable sights have a good sight picture. fixed sights on revolvers are usually very minimalist.
S&W and Ruger are the best quality to price value, and they're easy to find new or used.
look for a S&W 19, 66, 586, or 686, or a Ruger Security Six or GP100
>>30110354
I would say other then Ruger for a revolver buy used.
>>30110364
I was thinking medium size heading into this. Snub looks a tad awkward, and can't help accuracy. The extra longs look absurd.
Thanks for the tips.
>>30110377
I wonder if I should get a little more experience first. Someone could easily rip me off, I've got no idea how to price something accurately.
Can't go wrong with a S&W in .357 magnum, 4 or 5 inch barrel.
Revolvers tend to cost more, expect to pay something like $800 for a new S&W 686, maybe like 500-600 if you can find one used somewhere.

yeah you probably should
there are many ways that used revolvers can be mechanically fucked that arent easy to spot

Figured. I think if anything, what I'll do is gather some reading material to get a handle on the technical aspect of this topic and then take some more sample opinions from multiple online sources to get a feel for the 'quality' aspect that is less warped by brand marketing and based more on experience/preference. Then I'll start saving to buy a solid quality new one as my first.
Looking for a first wheely to keep in the nightstand. I'm thinking about a .32 Charter, what kind of shitpost memes do you guys have for that?
>>30110521
no memes, it's just a saturday night special
it's not even a taurus
I'd also be interested in hearing what people have to say on rifles.
>>30110558
Like I said, I just want something to lay next to the didos and help me sleep at night.
Don't need H&K levels of quality, just something easier to grab and ready than a .22 rifle in a case across the room.
>>30110587
If you want cheap no frills defense gun get the Charter Arms .44 special. It should serve you well as a dildo protector.
>>30110631
Only problem with .44 is that I dunno if the wife could handle it. I've only JUST introduced her to guns.
Still, thanks friend.
>>30110656
Get a 3 inch Ruger SP 101, .357 magnum but shoot .38 HP's from it. Would be light too shoot and a solid defense gun.
>>30110559
>>30110678
I second this, good recommendation.

>tfw >$9k/year
if you get an s&w, youll want an old made one, since the new ones look like trash with a little hole in the side
