all valid points.

I will likely shoot defensive .38 commercial ammo.

while I have a decent supply of .357 on hand.

I had a 2" kframe model 10 Nickel (SB) and it was very capable....I much preferred the handling of the 3" Model 19/65.

I only posted this question as there was a Model 64 2" RB for sale for a decent price.....and this clouded my mind and smile to my pocket book.

but recalling when I had the model 10 2" and Model 65 3", the Model 65 rode in a holster more.

Now if I could find a factory Model 10 or 64 in 3" (not a built gun) .... that would definitely interest me. I think I will stick to the following and revisions my vary due to condition of the revolver.

Model 65-3 3"
Model 13-3 3"
Model 64 3"
Model 10 3"

thanks to all
