Looking for advice on shopping for used revolvers. Specifically, what are some things I should look for on the gun that would be a deal breaker?

BTW - the guns I'm looking at are a Ruger GP100 4"...

...a Taurus 608 (would love to find it blued)...

...or a Smith 686+ (another one I'd prefer to find blued).

And no - pic size is not an indication of preference. :lol:

Yes messed up screws. It means someone who doesn't have a clue has been messing with the internals.

Frankly if you came in my store and pulled out a feeler gauge I would tell you to get lost.
Just look at the gap and make sure it isn't wide enough to put a credit card through or so small the cylinder is rubbing the forcing cone.

Good stuff there, ber950. Thanks!
