I would like to have a 357 around the house for home defense. Don't need an expensive one. What is a reliable 357 to have?

Some of the 66's and 686's that have been traded in from LE, can be had for $200-300. A lot of them were carried a lot, and shot a little, only for practice and qualifications. Some of my LE friends actually were able to buy their old duty weapon for 125.00. I slicked up a lot of the actions for the local county sherriff department's old 686's.
I have met a few JUNK 357 Tauras' in my time. They are usually the cheapest. The worst that I've seen came with fixed sights and locked up after 3 rounds. None of my Revolver Smiths would touch it. Very few if any Gun Smiths work on Tauras products, MANY work on Smith & Wessons - that should tell you something (and not that Smiths NEED work and Tauras' don't).
