There is no “rational” reason. Ammo isn’t always easy to find, other calibers can match it, etc.

However, for me, it’s the pride of owning a 24-3 snubby; a true classic, well built revolver in a man stopping caliber, that isn’t available in this configuration from the factory anymore.

I won’t sell my M24; it’ll go to my kids or grandkids first ( along with my 16 ga SXS)
