Easily my favorite and most used handgun cartridge. I have at least half a dozen revolvers so chambered in easy reach at any given time.
I’d pass on by all the CA, Taurus, Rossi type low priced offerings and hold out for a Ruger at minimum but ideally an S&W. If money is an issue M10s with finish issues are still relatively inexpensive and I’d much rather one of them than a new cheap gun.
Don’t you Canades have to have a 4.2 inch barrel or something silly like that to be legal? If so the M10 was made with 5” and 6” barrels but a K38 or M15 will likely be an easier find and they were 6” and 8 3/8”.
Put 4.5-5.5gr Unique over any old primer and cork it with a 150-170gr SWC.I’m especially fond of the RCBS 38-150KT SWC but there are lots that will work just as well. You’ll be ready to handle about anything that can be handled with a 38.
