Rock Island M206

>reliable if a bit simplistic,
thats not a bad thing, and they're fine, nothing fancy hence the low cost, and technically can handle +p rounds

OP here, Thanks for the input.

It always helps to know at least other people aren't telling stories of how a certain gun blew up and took two of their fingers off online.

It doesn't look like any "Saturday night special" I've ever seen and I know revolvers are generally more reliable than automatics (at the very least in the low price range) but every now and then a gun gets made that just has something wrong with it like a certain part that breaks too easily or a tendency to shoot loose after 400~500 rounds.

check out that zastava 9mm that was around 200 recently
I wouldn't trust a cheap revolver.

I'll take a look.
First review I saw looks passable. Aside from him complaining about the magazine getting stuck.

What's this? It says Bulgaria. Got a model ID?

>>33101378
Ehhhhh come on now, cheap revolvers like these may be ugly, they may be gritty to shoot but they are also reliable, rugged and small. Don't try to act like your Tok clone is any better (or worse) for what OP wants than a <$300 revolver.

Now OP, let me offer some food for thought. Do you really want a gun so badly right now that you couldn't possibly wait a few months? If you were able to get by with a lock in a sock or a hammer (I carried a 12oz ball peen with the handle cut down some my first year of college) could you make if for anothet few months to save up to a used S&W J-frame? I see them pop up now and then on armslist for around $350. The best thing about it is if you get one around $300, you'll be able to sell it for that much or more basically until you die. The revolver you're looking at will dramatically depreciate in value as soon as you take it home. If you were to get a nice little Smith, you'll have something to sell/trade in later or a solid first gun that will last many lifetimes.

That's a Bulgarian Makarov. Look up Makarov pistol on Google and you'll get more than you can read. Classic has them for $300 right now. Maks are reliable, compact and fun little guns to shoot and carry. Bigger than the revolvers we've mentioned but only by a little bit.

I'll look into smiths a bit more at least. I'm not in a huge hurry, no.
I'll peek at the makarov, too but the size may be an issue. Every little bit counts with me, believe it or not.

Thanks for the input.

If I can get a little extra money I may be able to upgrade to a S&W "chief's special" from the looks of it based on the local gun store's online list of stock.

It only holds 5 shots instead of 6 but the difference in quality does look perceivable. I could live with one less round for the quality improvement. This isn't about taking on a gang like Mel Gibson in Payback, it's like if one guy with a knife tries to mug me. And the name Smith and Wesson is certainly more well known.

Not sure if serious.

Yes I've looked, it's not a concern. I have enough income to allow me to not have a problem with ammo. If I was going to be shooting every single day it might be an issue but going to a range once every 4 months or so and shooting off maybe a box or two at most isn't going to break my bank.

comrade, pistol is of steel maker
when magazine empty, throw pistol as final blow to enemy

>>33101577
Id probably save the the SW but the RA would work fine.

>>33101407
Find a makarov for less than 250.

It's not 05 anymore.

OP, there is a reason those guns are $220.

Compared to a Smith and Wesson Airweight, they are over 10 oz. heavier, aren't rated for +P despite the fact that they are 10 oz. heavier, have significantly worse factory support (S&W's CS is not Ruger's CS, but they're far better than almost all of their other competitors), and the double action trigger on them absolutely sucks by comparison.

If at all possible, you should consider saving a little longer and getting one of the aforementioned Airweights instead. They are far better guns for concealed carry than an Armscor M206. If your priority is, as you say, "a concealed carry gun that won't fail me or blow up in my hand, and will be reliable," then the marginal increase in price you pay for a S&W is absolutely worth it.

That's $330 shipped, for example.

Drop your mag and end him rightly

New 442 Pro on Gunbroker for less than $400.

Thar RIA gun will work OK. But save your money and get the S&W.
