I have several “cheap guns.” They make alot of sense for as you said truck guns ect. Who knows what the OP’s intent is but I see a revolver these days especially a snub nose as more of a range toy/collection item. If it isn’t going to be used hard I’d look at a pre Hillary hole S&W 586.

A pre-lock S&W isn’t a big ticket item. I didn’t suggest a Janz or an original Python.

Well, I love S&W, & Colt. I would never consider a Taurus, never mind a junk RIA. But, I guess poor folks got to have guns. Damn.

The best way to preserve value is at time of purchase. In this case used RIA in very good shape that functions well. Assuming gun is kept in working order monetary loss will be infinitesimal.

Slavek would rather have a cock in his hands than a pistol.

Slavek would rather have a cock in his hands than a pistol. Actually, in this case my choice would be older second hand beater SP101 in .38 or 357. By beater I mean cosmetically challenged but in very good mechanical order.

I have a Rock Island 1911. It is a great pistol for what it is.
I have a Rock Island revolver. It is junk. It will not reliably fire. I fixed the excessive end shake. It was bad enough the cylinder drug on the back face of the barrel. Did not help. I replaced the hammer spring with a Wolf extra power spring. Did not help. I guess I’ll look into the firing pin next. It does have a good smooth action, and is quite accurate, but if it won’t go “Bang!” every time, I don’t have much use for it.
