Hey /k/. I want to buy a revolver for my first gun when I turn 21, whats a good, low-cost, model? I don't really care what type of ammo, I'll be using it for shooting at the range and secondarily as home security.

pic somewhat related, it's a colt .45

Long as you get that Colt .45 with two zigzags, you should be fine, because baby, that's all we need.

You need to choose a caliber that you want to shoot first.

If you're going with a .357 or .44, then the price will generally start around $550 and go up.

I don't know any of the lower brands, but I have a ruger gp100 and s&w 686. The ruger was $580 after tax and the smith was $650 after tax

Have you ever fired a gun? Ever fired .45? Ever fired .357 magnum? There have been plenty of people who bought a .44 magnum as their first gun and were really fucking surprised the first time they fired it because it was too powerful for their comfort or were unable to shoot well with it.

.44 mag is not a plinking caliber and it's overkill as far as self defense goes, unless you are afraid of a grisly bear home invasion.

.357 or .45LC/ACP would be my suggestion.

The price really is a problem. I'm pretty poor and me and my parents aren't really on speaking terms so I don't have their financial support. I'm thinking 300 dollars tops. Am I just out of luck?

Honestly? In your case, I would highly, highly, highly, HIGHLY suggest something chambered in .357 mag. .357 is a proven self defense cartridge with a lot of positive acclaim, and a gun chambered in .357 can just as easily fire .38 with a very small loss in accuracy. In other words, you can use the more expensive .357 ammunition for home defense, and the cheaper .38 ammo at the range.

Not necessarily. You can generally find some decent used revolvers(police trade ins, pawn shops, shit like that) in that price range. I wouldn't bet your luck on finding one new at 300 bucks, however.

I wasn't expecting new. I guess now it's just to decide what caliber I want. I'm torn between .357 and .44, So I suppose I'll decide when I actually go out to buy one.

300 is fine for a decent revolver, just don't expect a new one. and there is nothing wrong with getting a used gun either.
