I have a model 19 snubby . I have a belt holster and a shoulder holster rig for it . I used to have 2 snubbies , the 19 and a 66 . One day I laid them on the table in front of my sister and said " pick one " . She chose the 66. I really wanted the 19 so it worked out for both of us . It is very very accurate and a keeper for sure . I have never carried a semi auto for protection . Just give me my 19 and a couple of speedloaders . regards Paul
