For all those suggesting 5-shot J Frames, I appreciate your input, but is that really the gun you want for a gunfight? It's a serious question, not a criticism. Size and weight aren't going to be the deal breaker here for me (within reason--I'm probably not going to opt for an N Frame with a 8 3/8" barrel).
If somebody was waiting for me in the parking lot and the fight was on, I'm thinking I'd want a real rear sight--not just a notch, and bit more grip than the typical 2 finger. How much sight radius would you want? I'm talking in terms of fighting back against a determined attacker.
Thanks!
What about an N frame with a 5" barrel that holds * .357magnums and reloads with moon clips? If I had any inkling that I were going to be in a gunfight and if I had to carry a revolver, that's the one I'd choose. I've had a Performance Center 627 for a long time. A friend came to see it soon after I got it and said he thought it would just be another "game gun" but, after seeing and handling it, he'd carry it as a duty gun (if his agency allowed.)
