I was thinking of getting a practical open carry/kitchen defense .357 Magnum. Here are my primary wants:
Size: Medium - No hand cannons or snubs. I think around 4" barrel is 'normal' for a revolver.
Weight: Sturdy. A bit on the heavy side, even. I want it medium sized, but built for taking hot loads (I'm a man who loves his hot ammo)
Finish: Moisture resistent, corrosion resistant
Capacity: 5 or 6.
L-frame S&W like the 586/686 or the Ruger GP100. 686 is avail in a 7 shot and the Ruger is just about indestructible but isn't as smooth as the L-frames.
here is another vote for a security six. Excellent revolver.
I have been eyeballing the comanche line at sog. 6 inch barrel and stainless for under 200. The only one i have seen up close and personal was a 22 version. Appeared to be a copy of a colt.
Kitchen Defense? Hmmm. My wife's tuna casserole has offended me. But not so much I've wanted to take a shot at it.
I'd better stop before you get the idea that I'm casting aspersions on your mate's cookin'.
I would also agree that the 686 would be the best choice.
