Great guns. Decades ago when I was a patrolman in Illinois, I carried a Python as my duty gun and a nickel Mark III as an off duty gun. It was bigger than a Detective Special, which was bigger than a J- frame, but it was comfortable to shoot with our issued round, W-W 158 grain LHP+P. I still have the Python, but I traded the Mark III off for a nickel Detective Special, which I still own, but my wife carries. Good find.
