Nothing wrong with a 66...kinda big, though.

Not if it's a snubby with round butt frame. Those are ideal for all day carry IWB.

Elmer Keith,
“Very nice appearance. Did you give the gun a polishing job?”

Over the years, a couple. 😁 pictures can hide a few scratches pretty easily.

“BTW, did you take that picture with the additional help of a light box?”

No, just on a table, by a window, with my iPhone 6

My Bulldog, usually loaded with 200 grain HP's .

If you have big hands, All round butt Smiths are tough to shoot until you add rubber grips.
Once you've added rubber grips you're outside the realm of small.
Round butt with stock grips is for hideout - not general use.

Love the Bulldog. Wanted one when I was a kid. They had a square butt model with an ejector rod housing, they called the "Target Bulldog". It was a neat looking gun. Later, up in the 80's, for all I could figure out, they eliminated that model and only had the 3" model sans ejector rod housing. The old Target model with its wooden grips looked really good. IIRC, supposedly still around 20 oz. unloaded.

For true cc revolver I carry...637, 638, 642. My 642 has crimson trace grips. To me, this option let's me carry two...one in the pocket and one on the belt because they are so light.

I have many other revolvers, but the weight gives way to grabbing them when walking out the door to cc for the day.

But if I knew I or someone in my family was a specific target...then I'd glock 26 it and then discuss appropriate firearms carry after the chalk lines are drawn.

I had a Model 60 w bobbed hammer a couple of yrs.
Buddy has a Scandium J in .357.
Its a beast w Corbons

Way back when money was tight and I had only one handgun, it was a 629-1 4".

I miss that rig

In todays crazy world, id rather have an auto of doublestack mag.

I am looking at the SP101 4.25" for a little trail rig ( no bear area ).

2.5" 66, 3" 65 or the PC 640.

This is my model 60, 3" barrel. It carries better than the 3" mdl 65 i posted earlier.

I've had one for many years and I think they are a good fit for a trail gun.... enough barrel for a 357, good sight radius, just heavy enough to be comfortable with 357 but not so heavy to be uncomfortable to carry, slim and trim, built strong.... great little revolver.

I've got the same gun in Scandium/Titanium with fiber optic sights. Feels like a potato chip. Mine is limited to Plus P .38 Special, though.

I have a 5 shot S&W with the internal hammer.

The 38 should be enough at the ranges that most shoots happen.

I don't carry it, but a LCRx .38 rides in the console. Hogue extended grip helps. It's not a S&W but it works.

I picked up a used lcrx in 38 a few years ago for a good price. I thought I might not like it having a 360 pd and a 351pd I sometimes carry. However the lcrx really shoots quite well and has a nice double action pull.

I have a 3" sp101 in 357 for my wife to carry hiking, camping, and fishing but it's heavier than she likes for just walking the dog. I'm going to work up a load for the speer 158g lead swchp for the lcrx and get my wife practicing with it. She can carry the lcrx around town and the sp101 in the woods.

I'd actually really like a 3" lcrx in 327 mag 6 shot of they make one. I had a 3" sp101 in 327 for a while and it was great but someone offered me a bunch of money for it during a time they were no longer making them.

Of the few revolvers I own, this is the most concealment, so it would probably be my choice, even though it's a lowly Taurus. 😉 5 shot .44 Special, model 431.

An old Model 15 S&W with 4” barrel, belongs to a friend, wouldn’t be a slacker at all. Add some hard cast powder coated wadcutters at high standard pressures. Easy to shoot and poke a hole thru & thru.

one i have had for 21 years i believe.sp101,357 magnun.2.25" barrel.

These are great guns. I've had some, can't believe I let them get away.
