The Ruger vcdgrips posted looks like a dream revolver for me.
Though with $1,000, and how well my Taurus has done, I might by two of them and really spiff them up.

An employee at the LGS bought a 686 PC, and it’s been sitting in the shop’s safe. He wants $1,300! 😳😳😳Originally Posted by Blades
This is the one I want when I hit 60(53 now; of course, in 7 years I may want the new "Westinghouse M-25 40-watt Phased Plasma Pulse-Gun"): S&W Model 686-6 PC 7 Shot
The one I saw last year was $1,000.00. I should have bought it and just sold plasma to pay for it.

and...Happy Birthday Frank, whatever day it is or was!
With a budget of $1000 and patience--as well as a nice reason for buying: "It's my 60th Birthday!"--you should be able to find what you want with "want to buy" ads on various forums. You might put up a WTB ad on the Smith & Wesson forum saying just that: looking for 60th Birthday Gift, and put out a list of revolvers you'd like to own. More than likely there is someone with what you want gathering dust in their safe, and who is willing to sell to someone who actually wants the gun as opposed to someone who will flip it for the next best thing in a few months.
I would not buy a current production revolver in the current market without being able to inspect it first and without a substantial discount; prices are inflated and quality control from most manufacturers is suspect.
Did that yesterday... and the stupid thing is I know better!
My vote would be a older Model 66 or Model 10 2 inch. Happy 60th!
My Model 10 is still in jail at the LGS. He's had a family emergency and hasn't been open for me to pick it up.

Be Aware-Stay Safe. Gunfighting Is A Thinking Man's Game. So We Might Want To Bring Thinking Back Into It.
A man after my own heart. Just turned 53 myself and I grew up lusting after Lew Horton runs of N-frame snubbies, bonus points for .41mag...guess I was hipster before it was cool. Ever since Mike Boyle's "Super Snub" article in the Snubby Chronicles, the 686PC+ has ranked highly on my do-want list.This is the one I want when I hit 60 (53 now).....S&W Model 686-6 PC 7 Shot
