S&W 38 special 3"

Or

Taurus model 85 in 38 special, 3"


If your guns are heavy, you are not apt to carry it. If you carry an ultra light in 357 practice at 10 yards a LOT!

Carry a reload and practice reloading.

Most people shooting 2" smiths can not hit a bull in the azz with a base fiddle

and the 357 mag version are pretty much noise makers, very, very difficult to shoot

IDPA has matches where wheel guns are used...dang...one match and you learn just how useless some of these guns are.

Remeber, two hits on target with a lesser caliber are better than six sprayed all over with an ultra light magnum. 12 lb triggers make for great noise makers...that is about it.

Chances are if you ever need the pistol, you are going to be scared schittless!! You will not remember to watch the front sight, and you will be pulling the trigger so fast in the direction of the perp, you may not hit anything. TRAIN for success!

Few if any posting here have ever been robbed or beat up during a robbery.
