Below are two 'fun' snubbies that can be left loaded as 'home/car protection', if you need a rationale to purchase one. Their forte, in my opinion, is to be used as plinkers, the rearward balance they possess making them great extensions of your hand. Can you reliably hit a 16" steel plate at 110 yd with them with .38 plinker loads while hand holding them? Probably not - except with practice. I guess therein is the fun. The benefit is simple - your marksmanship at shorter range - even your shooting stance - will improve.



The 2 5/8" PC627 UDR is a .357 Magnum, so you can launch some potent lead with it. It's an eight shot N-frame - from S&W's 'Performance Center' and currently available new at a decent discount for ~$900 new. The blued 2" 10 was the last production run of the venerable 10 and was made 12/02. They are scarce - and pricey.

A .22 LR (rimfire) revolver can be a great deal of fun. A J-frame, the smaller frame, like the current 3" 63, an 8-shot, can be a great plinker, yet be carried in a jacket pocket or holstered. Very frugal to shoot, even if the ~$630 initial price is a tad dear. New S&Ws have a lifetime warranty, too - the call and s/h are on S&W, too. Good luck!
