I'll start by saying I'm looking for a gun to keep in my desk at work. I'm not looking for anything fancy or something I'm going to be upset if I scratch. No debates on calibers, stopping power, or revolver hate. I've found these http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/index.php/cPath/654_910/gunbar. What do you guys think.
I have a Smith & Wesson M&P 9 mm and it is a fine gun. Nothing wrong with a .38 either. I always wonder, if someone breaks in and confronts you pointing a revolver at them, is he thinking - "Hmmmm.... that's only a .38 (insert whatever caliber you want), or is he thinking - "Oh $h!t!" I vote the latter.
Good price. Just make sure its secure and not just left in a desk drawer for the cleaning lady to find. A 38 at reasonable ranges will do everything the 357 will do.
I bought a PD trade in once. It was great and i wish i still had it. PD trade ins tend to be carried often and shot very little. Their finishes are generally rough but their internals are generally damn near perfect.

Well I'll give it a once over when I get it in. I know a good gun smith who's been doing it for twice as long as I've been alive. I'll let him tear it down and check it over also. Now round butt or square butt.
People are so strongly opinionated when it comes to fire arms. It's like politics and religion. Again just a pistol to keep in a drawer. Reliability a must, looks not so much. Maybe this is one of those things that you don't buy sight unseen.
I still say it's a good deal. In my opinion you can't go wrong with it. I think a revolver is more reliable as it's less likely to jam. Buy it and enjoy it. :thumbsup:
I think it would make for a nice desk gun, and that's not bad for the money. I like .38 revolvers myself. My mom bought a .38 special from a retired LEO and it was well cared for.
