Hi /k/

Help out a new2funs. I want a 357 revolver for home defense/carry with a jacket. I'm very poor fag and can only spend 450ish. I wanted pic related, taurus model 65, but they seem to be impossible to find here. Smith and Wesson is too expensive for me. What other brands should I look at? It this a wild goose chase and ill never find a decent gun for 450?

Thanks in advance
>>
Ruger GP100 if a smith a too expensive.
>>
Spanish revolvers are nice if you cand find them. Usually S&W copies at a fraction of the price.

Comanche was the name if i recall.

Spanish not brazilian.
>>
Look for a used Ruger sp101. If you're not in a big hurry, you might get lucky with a K-frame Smith for a good price.
>>

>>30519974
Ruger is still way out of my price range unfortunately.

>>30519956
Everything online says these things are junk. I don't want something that's going to fail in a FOF situation
>>
>>30519989
Look for a used ruger secuirty six on pawnshops or on gunbroker it should be cheaper.

It's bigger then a sp101 but smaller then a gp100 and could still be carried comfortably.
>>
>>30519918
>poorfag
>wants a revolver

There's your problem. Get a 9mm.

>using .357 for home defense

Unless you want to kill your hearing along with the intruder, don't.
>>
>>30520025
Ok then recommend me a good automatic in 9mm for 450.

Ignore that faggot, if ur dead set on .357 mag then get you one, I still highly recommend you look for a used ruger Security six I paid $400 at pawnshop after haggle. It has that tank built that all rugers are know for and can be cc comfortably.

But of u change ur mind I guess find a used glock 19 and some hst 147 +p and be done with it.

I guess I should check my local pawn shops before I do anything. I definitely won't buy online. Not going to buy a gun I can't put my hands on first

Pawn shops or armslist.

Or just check the local shops used case.

Found a nice blackhawk for 350 at mine.
Guy just had to many used guns.
>>
Thanks for replies guys. Will take all into consideration and look around more. Wish me luck in commieforniaw.

>>30520032
used sig sp2022 should be able to be had with 100-200 rounds for 450

I'll sell you a S&W .357 6" barrel 7 shot for $450. Excellent condition, in need of money fast. I'll even throw in a holster and a speedloader. I'll post pics if you want. I was gonna put it on broker for $550 but I'll hook an anon up.
>>
>>30520202
I might be down. Show me

>>30520202
Bumping in the hope s&w anon will return

EAA windicator. Shit is ugly, covered with toolmarks, and has little aftermarket, but it's a shit brickhouse of a gun and is only $300 new.
>>
Get off your ass and do the leg work. Visit every gun shop, pawn shop, coffe shop, bathhouse and outhouse in a 50 mile radius. I'm talking a hard target search.

Do the work. Check the classifieds. I mean actual dead tree paper classifieds. Check local gun boards in your area. Check national online forums for guns for sale in your state. Check GunBroker for penny auctions. Carry cash. Don't be afraid to make an offer. Haggle. Network.

Do the fucking work. Part of the fun of funs is the search. Have a story. Every time you pull out your pistol to teach your grandkids how to shoot, tell the story. Do the work. Earn the story.

The deals are out there. Go find them.

And for christs sake, don't buy a taurus or something. Buy a gun that'll last a lifetime or three. Don't buy a fun that'll spend more time in the mail on the way to get fixed than in your holster.
>>
>>30519918
keep looking OP
You should be able to find a tarus for under 500 no problem.
If you're buying via gunbroker, take into account the shipping and tax (own state purchase) that'll add up.

>>30519956
Astra is the only good company that made revolvers from Spain. I forget the name of the company in north Carolina that imported them.

>>30520025
he can shoot 38 inside the house. Don't troll him into getting something he's not going to like.

>>30520788
wtf
I've done less work than this for some of my rarer guns. the fuck is wrong with you. the fuck you think he's buying, a black market super secret nambu m60?
>>
>>30520025
>Unless you want to kill your hearing along with the intruder, don't
Will second this consideration. .357 is stupid loud. Use .38 unless you have electronic earpro sitting nearby or are more worried about dying than hearing eeeeeeeeeee the rest of your life.
>>
>>30520817
The point of my post jackass, is that bitching and moaning to /k/ that he can't afford an S&W or Ruger doesn't help. I was trying to motivate him to get off /k/ and go find the goddamn fun he wants. And not settle for a fucking taurus.
>>
>>30520850
OP here. I didn't bitch and moan. I just asked for some advice. I don't have a lot of money, it's difficult for me to travel, and I'm not super educated on guns (very new).

I'm checking shops when I time and gas. Not everyone has the free time and money to blow driving all over the county looking for a good deal. I appreciate the advice but don't be a dick broski

The SP101 is about $450 new.
>>
>>30521821
only the 327. version of that is legal here
>>
>>30522226
Then buy it. You can fire .32 S&W Long and Short, .32 ACP (if you use your finger nail to pull the rounds out), .32 H&R Magnum, AND of course the absolutely wonderful .327 Magnum. It would be a wonderful gun to carry.

Unless you're talking about the new production 'target' ones. If so, look for an old production carry version, those will conceal a million times better.
>>
>>30519918
I bought a taurus 66 and it is a great gun. very accurate, well over 10,000 38spl and over 3,500 357 mag down the barrel with no issue. Had I gone back and done it again, I would just pay the extra $150 or so for a smith. Nicer finish and they have customer service. Taurus customer service is fucking terrible. I had a tcp that made 4 trips to them for repair and over a year in transit before they sent me a new one which I promptly sold.
>>
>>30521761
You don't know a thing about funs or their laws do you

OP just buy a shotgun like this califag intends to do.
after a lot of consideration and lurking I have decided that a shotgun is more or less the best all around gun you can have as a starter/home defense etc.

they are fairly easy to operate, low maintenance, and can have tons of accessories added on to them. also they are fucking badass and as long guns will probably be some of the last type of gun that the grabbers try to go for... if they even have the balls to try
think about how it would feel to ask someone on the other end of a shotgun to give it up.
>>
>>30522374
no I dont. I've said that already
>>
>>30522226
>only the 327. version of that is legal here

I forgot y'all had that dumbass pistol list.

>This pistol has been tested and is OK
>But the same pistol with a 1" longer barrel isn't because it needs its own tests and approval

Way2go Cali, that'll fix Oakland and L.A.
