Revolver for home defense and car ???

[Quasar44]

I am only looking for a heavy metal revolver to fire only 38 Slugs
I want it heavy to lower recoil
I want one that is super low maintenance and so easy to clean that even I can do it !! Lol

Will a .38 penatrate a neighbors dry wall??

what about smaller one for car ??

thx

Pistol in your car, shotgun for home defense. ...

If you go with a .38, definitely get one that is +P.

If you are concerned about missing and penetrating drywall, consider using Glaser Safety Slugs.

My wife has a Ruger SP101 in .357. It's quite heavy and can shoot .38s and .38 +P as well as .357. I've owned one in the past and liked it very much.

Older double action stainless 357. Secirity six ruger or S&W 686. The 2 least likely to have problems when I was gunsmithing.
The Colt Troopers MK3 had issues. Python$$$ were great but I don't think they ever came in stainless. Nickel plate perhaps ? The younger guys swear by the Taurus revolvers for the money. Don't be such a pussy. 357 mag doesn't have television recoil. You can get silvertip hollow points in 38 special for your 12 year old to play with

Good advise especially if you're concerned about missing your target indoors.

I live in a 2 bedroom apartment and I don’t have the storage capacity for a long gun
My apartment is very full
Plus a shotgun is going to penetrate walls and destroy everything I own

Yes, a .38 will penetrate drywall quite easily. If that is a concern use Glaser safety slugs.

 

[Quasar44]

Do gunsmith clean your gun on the spot for a fee

What about the 38 P ???

The 686 will have less felt recoil if you use a 4 inch barrel. Yes, either one can go more than 1000 rounds without cleaning so long as you use high quality ammunition.

Yes.

What about it? Plus P ammo is still solid. It will punch a hole through drywall like it isn't there.

My standard carry gun unless I’m going into The Ghettos is either a S&W Airlite 340 revolver with a 2” bbl or a Ruger Security Six (now SP101) revolver with a 4” bbl. Both will accept .38 or .357 ammunition. I love them both, but they’re for different situations.

I would really suggest you find a dealer with a range where you can try different things out and see what works for you.

Just remember, you are buying something thst is intended to protect you. You need to be comfortable AND proficient with it. If you’re not comfortable carrying it, it won’t be there when you need it. If you’re not proficient with it, it won’t matter if you have it.

You can replace things....you can't replace your life. ...

 

[Quasar44]

Is it true ??
That revolvers are far less likely to jam than pistols and require far less maintenance??

 

[Quasar44]

What is Glaser slugs ??

 

[Slade3200]

I’d go with a sling shot because it’s light weight and easier to control bullet velocity

Just before the production of the Colt Python ended I was at a gun store and seen one in polished stainless. I still regret not buying it but it was expensive to say the least.

*************
The Python was originally available in two finishes: royal blue and bright nickel. The bright nickel model was discontinued with the introduction of the more durable satin stainless and mirror-polished Ultimate Stainless models.[2] The stainless steel and royal blue finishes were offered until 2003 by Colt on the Python "Elite" model.
