The 357/38 is a decent first gun purchase and can fill many roles exceedingly well. I don't think you could go wrong with it in a modern sidearm. As far as brand name goes I can't reccomend the Ruger GP100's more highly. They are very strong solid and accurate weapons. I'd recommend going stainless. Smith and Wesson long ago burned their bridges with me with their political posturing. Their revolvers are decently made but have had a reputation of shooting loose. If you plan on handloading at all or using alot of high pressure / performance rounds I'd go with the Ruger for sure.
