I have a S&W Model 1902, made 1902 4" round butt, blue. One of my favorite revolvers! I also have a Colt Police Positive Special 6" from 1919 also blue. Along with a 1980's Marlin. I owned the Marlin first then the Colt and just had to have a Smith. I think the perfect small caliber revolver would be a 5" or 5.5" length target model in 32 WCF.
My best friends grandfather was known to move things for hire on his H-D during Prohibition, his comment about S&W's in 32-20 was "They were very accurate but tended to shoot right through a man." (I think he used the High Velocity rifle ammo) we just being teens at the time (early 1970's), neither of us ever had the nerve to ask the who? or the why?
