I wish S&W would make a basic 3 inch barrel aluminum frame, fixed sight K-Frame 38SPL+P revolver. I believe such a "Pro-Model" revolver with a flush to the frame spurless DAO hammer would appeal to a lot of revolver lovers - without breaking the bank.

I suspect the empty weight would come in just under 20 ounces and in the neighborhood of 22 ounces loaded. The 3 inch tube should get the +P velocity levels up to consistent "expansion" levels with modest recoil.

Light weight, low drag, rounded concealment shape, what's not to like?

A little revolver gem like this would just beg for a Simply Rugged leather pancake style holster.
