You bring up a good point. I feel that I need 2 guns for home defense. If I hear someone breaking in--shotgun. Stranger knocking on the door--snubby in my pocket. I have an assortment of revolvers with various barrel lengths--K frames, Troopers, D frame Colts, J frames. I shoot the snubbies the most--usually at silhouettes. It's personal preference like a lot of things. If the writer has a thing for snubbies (as I do from watching too much 'Dragnet' as a small child) he should get one. I'd only suggest he go with a steel frame since he's not going to be carrying and they're more pleasant to shoot than alloy. The Colt D specials are classic, and my Model 10 2" is a great, easy-shooting revolver. A 3" would be good too, and more versatile as someone pointed out.
