SBG gun nuts, your opinion?

I got a quote: $300 reblueing and $1k for complete restoration. Out of the question. 

Yikes! I'd look for more quotes!

You may not be looking for revolvers, but I have the Ruger SP101 and it works for concealed carry very well. My wife can shoot it with .38 special and I can shoot .357 Magnum if I choose. She's not interested in CCW, but she is home alone sometimes while I'm traveling. There's a lot of flexibility in the SP101.

For pistols, I'd check out the S&W M&P 9mm Compact.
