I'm looking for a revolver, preferably something small in caliber like a 22. This will mainly be kept in a safe place in my house and probably will seldomly be used (no thanks to my democrat wife). I only use my rifle once or twice a year during deer season and the last time I shot my shotgun was about 3 years ago.
About the only time this postol will leave the house is to come with me when deer hunting or when camping. Otherwise I doubt it'll be used much. It is possible that it could be used for home defense but I don't want a really powerful caliber just for this one purpose that would end up being out of my price range, too much recoil, and being too heavy.
I'm not looking to spend much on this at all. I know that it's hard to get a good pistol for around $150 but that's about all I can spend. I'd like to get a 38, but ammo for them have been very difficult to find locally (I've been looking). I know that a 22 with Magnum hollow point loads pack an ok punch and the ammo is easy to find.
So, is there anything out there that fits what I'm looking for? I don't mind buying used (bought my rifle and shotgun used) as long as it's in good shape and it's reliable.
