Good idea.
I have a 2" Model 637. Quite a handful with +P loads, and still not easily controlled with standard loads. The Uncle Mike's Boot grips make it easy to carry, but I pay with increased perceived recoil.
Much rather have a 3" barrel with adjustable sights in J-frame. Make it entirely of stainless steel. Offer it in .38 Special and 9mm Luger.
The 9mm revolver would be a good hideout gun for military personnel or cops whose department issues the 9mm.
Some may prefer the .327 Magnum, which is a good round but hasn't caught on much. From the two people I've talked with who have it, it's an earsplitter-loudenboomer. Has a particularly vicious crack that can actually cause pain in the ears.
I dunno. Never fired one. And I don't fire any firearm without hearing protection (except for hunting or when carrying for defense).
But yeah, I'd vote for a J-frame, all-stainless, 5-shot, 3" barrel, adjustable sighted pocket pistol in .38 Special or 9mm Luger.
The 9mm could be used with full moon clips, eliminating the need for much-bulker speedloaders.
You listening, Smith & Wesson?
