    A 386/686 S&W is probably your best bet, especially those made before 2000. They are superbly accurate and can be tuned to give a reliable 6 pound d/a trigger pull. One gun will permit you to shoot all disciplines except Cowboy and black powder.

    I've got next to no experience with post 1900 revolvers except one, but found the S&W model 65 in 357 to be excellent. Easy to use, tough, reliable. Certainly wasn't looked after but never malfunctioned or broke and was easy to use. Plus speed loaders are fun.

    Hmm... now that E cat's gone, maybe need to get into B Cat...

    That would just rip my undies!
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
