WTB .38 SPL.Snub nose

[West Texas]

I'm looking for a new "night stand" pistol for my new wife. Something simple, something you pull the trigger, it goes "BANG" "BANG" "BANG" "BANG" "BANG" "click"

I've had her out to the range with my Taurus Judge, and with several other, smaller pistols, and I'm thinking something like a Taurus CIA MODEL 850 .38 SPL. or something simular.

Would like to keep it simple and inexpensive, so if you'd like to make it a wedding present...?

THANKS!

Academy had Rossi .38s on sale for $207 this past weekend. Dunno if the sale is still going or not.

They have it for $229 today. Not a bad little pistol for it's purpose. I'm going to take a look! Thanks for the heads up!

You can't go wrong with Tarus or S&W when it comes to 38 snubs. I'd avoid Charter Arms though. They're great guns in fact I own one, but the ultra light aluminum frame causes a violent recoil.
My wrist is usually sore after running 50 rounds though it at the range. I’d stick with a steel frame.

Ruger snubbies are nice. All steel (OK for nightstand gun) and although they are not "cheap" they are relatively inexpensive. And you can shoot .38 Special or .357 Magnum. My $.02 worth.

Found a Rossi Model R35102 .38 SPL + P 5-shot yesterday...with PINK grips. So guess what is in the night stand this morning. Yep, with PINK grips...

Thanks for the input, but honestly if coulda been anything as long as it had the pink grips...

Did I mention she LOVES the pink grips...and can shoot the S**T outta that little gun!!! After about 4 hours total range time and some 200 rounds down range, she can now take Hornady critical defense +P's, shoot an on-the-fly, qucik double tap at 10 yards and consistantly put both rounds in the 10 ring...in a 3 inch group!

Faster learner she is...but then I already knew that

So, don't laugh at the girls with the pink guns!

We have two of the Charter DAO 38's. Light weight and no hammer to get in the way. You can use the 38+P loads as well. Great gun for carry due to the weight and size. Works well for us and the price will not break the bank.

Thanks, but as you can see this thread hasn't had any activity since june...and THAT activity showed what I had bought for her.

Thanks for your input and excitement, there is some great information in some of the old post...but some of them really don't need to be commented on.
