I have two D specials--a '36 and a '60. Don't carry them much--that's usually a 642 Smith...a bit smaller and lighter. I have been looking for an Agent for carry though. I love the Colt snubbies...shades of all those Dragnet episodes I saw as a kid. They are the classic revolver of the 20th century, much as the SAA is of the 19th, and will still do the job. BTW--my carry load (a handload) is a non plus P that moves a 158gr LSWCHP at around 900 fps...potent, and fine in the older Colts and the alloy-framed guns.
