If I could make one suggestion: Be especially choosy about barrel length. I have not read all the posts on this topic but I have seen 9.5", or 7.5". I owned a Bisley .41 Mag. Great Gun very accurate but even though I am 6'4" I did not really like the barrel length. I always had mine on my belt. Very hard to sit in a truck like that. A couple years ago I bought a SS SBH w/the 5.5" barrel. I was living in NC at the time and then (don't know about now) they had a minimum 5.5" barrel for big game hunting. In Vt no minimum length but I don't think I would go any shorter. I can sit in my truck with it on my belt and I doesn't try to prop me up. Just my $.02 worth, good luck. Sean
