After shooting my security sixes, I can say a good old school revolver is hard to beat. They make me look so much better than I am.
This is based on my limited experience but.....With the right set of grips, a good holster and proper revolver training, I would feel confident in carrying one in almost any setting in the USA.
A nice Model 10 is about as close to "everything you need, nothing you don't" gun as there is.
Google "revolver checkout" and you'll find all you need to know in checking one for faults. While it doesn't apply to the gun you've considering, finish-challenged S&W K-frames (like the Model 10) and Ruger Security/Speed-Sixes are quite often great guns for the asking price. There's nothing wrong with a gun with some honest holster wear.
If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.

Glock 42 and 48 go to the range always, my edcs. And at least one revolver.

I fail to see a problem with that range gear.

His last post, when added to his first one, indicates he has the same affliction many of us have, and it's not with his range gear. He loves firearms. The first step in recovery is admitting that you have a problem. Hi, my name is ______ and I'm a gun lover.

These are fighting guns, not target guns.
These are fighting guns, not target guns. Plenty of criminals have been put to rest permanently with them.

You absolutely need at least one .38 or .357 revolver in your life.
Jim Cirillo and a bunch of other guys in the stakeout unit were issued Smith model 10s and 158 gr LSWC ammo. They sure dropped a number of criminals in their day. Sure, there are a lot of good JHP designs that can be launched with boring reliability from any number of plastiblasties for several hundreds of thousands of rounds, but it's comforting to know that even old school bullet designs with less power than 9mm practice ammo from a capacity reduced pistol can get it done if you are a good shooter with good mindset and appropriate violence of action.
That said...it's not a gun I'd carry nowadays. But as a gun to practice a smooth, even trigger press, it has few equals.

And another guy named Jim from the same town had one too
I have owned at least a dozen M10’s. One reason is that they were the cheapest model and readily available. Never did I buy a poor specimen. All shot to point of aim. Today $350 is Kel Tec money. Have you bought this gem yet?
Or shield money.
I have 2 M10s a heavy barrel on a pencil barrel. The pencil barrel is my favorite, after thousands of rounds from me and a unknown amount before I had it. I had to replace the hammer nose.
