the sp 101 2inch is a great carry piece .357,I dont take it hunting...buy what you will use it the most for..smith and wesson 586 or 686 are good and well balanced..I carry a smith and wesson 629 classic 6inch 44 mag for bears and tweekers in the woods

My personal choice is a 1911 45, mine are Kimbers. But for a first timer and an "all around pistol" I stick with what I said. a good 4 inch 357 mag. revolver. it hits hard, is easy to carry, works every time and is accurate.

4 inch 357 mag revolver. probably the most versatile handgun around.

I feel exactly the same way

Check out one of the ultra lite 357 revolvers from S&W or Taurus. I have a Ti Tracker in 41 mag and I love it. The scandium S&W revolvers would be nice as well. They're easy to carry all day either in the field or concealed.

Stainless 357 mag with adjustable sights. Rugers are my favorites.
Plenty of punch and easy to use. I like to carry extra rounds in Bianchi speed strips.

Having owned several Taurus products i would say the only redeeming value they have is the raging bull line but having handled multiple of their fire arms broken on the shelf brand new I'm not a fan of those or the ones i have owned i could not recommend a worse product.

I have never had any problems with either of the taurus guns that I have owned. I had a 1911 and still have my 24/7 pro in 40. It and my s&w 686 with the power ported barrel are two of the best guns I own, and I have never had any problems with either. The .357 is a good all around choice for most situations, whether it be in the field or not. Find one that fits in your hand comfortably and practice. No gun is better than the shooter, and accuracy is more important that power.
