(for 6 shots) ........ 2 1/2" 19 (why not;not that much bigger and a .357 carried well in a Sparks SS)........ then a 3" 65 w/ bobbed hammer and shortened "Banana" grips and Sparks Summer Special........

Still have that 65........ but it took a back seat to a 3" 66 with Spegel Boot grips in 1988/89
