Yea, the ranger sxt line is basically the same minus the cool black coating. It stands for Same eXact Thing. I think the ammo was voluntarily pulled by winchester.. I don't remember the controversy surrounding the ammo, but I do remember it was all BS.

SXT's are some of my current fav's. Seems to have just the perfect punch in 38 Spl +p in my 4" 686+ -- tightest groupings (for me), fast recovery (unlike full-load 357 Mag), and moderate flash. WAY too expensive for range fun though!

i suggest just buying a new gun from a respectable shop (vs gunshow or used). do they have a Sportsman's Warehouse in Oklahoma City? i've had very good experiences with them on two handgun purchases.
if you want a handgun for target shooting AND putting in your car (your original post said putting in the car, now you say target shooting) - i would say a nice .45 ACP 1911, kimber or springfield. if you want a polymer, go glock or HK, but nowadays all the companies are making them. the big differences are caliber, if it's striker or hammer fired, and safety features.
btw, what kind of budget are you on?
