Best S&W

[tjpopkin]

for a personal defense gun, tough to beat a super light weight N-frame .45



BUT; if that is too light……..
a .44, 3" is balanced………



I carry this Gem every day……

There's something special about a 3.5" N frame.

Special ain't the word. Extra , extra special doesn't describe! I want a 3 1/2" Mod. 27 sooooooooooooooooo bad I can taste it. My wife has a 65LS and it's just wonderful even with the fixed rear sight. Gimme a nickle YES...blued or SS is great too.

Nice un' BTW.

Wow I just had to add that nobody mentioned the model 28! Every time I see one the prices are a risen!

 

[S&W SS Revolvers]

WOW! Once again...What a beauty that baby is. Seriously why aren't they making a 27 3 1/2" in nickle / SS or blue ? No lockers please...

C'mon S&W...git em' out there. You won't have any engineering to do...

They are hard to find and have fixed sights, but you need to take a look for a M&P .38 Special Airweight/ Model 12

K frame size. Aluminum frame and steel cylinder and barrel.

I saw one of these just today (flat latch gun), in a local pawn shop. It didn't seem much lighter than the M&P snub they had.

I doubt the OP wants to drive all the way up into WA for a carry piece but it's up here.

Pick whichever you can shoot well*



However for me, it's the SW Model 66-1 2 ½ inch barrel in stainless with hogue rubber grips and k-frame model 19/66 night sights!
Model 66 is basically the model 19 but in stainless steel

Wingmaster, what is that beautiful holster?

I just looked at the Ruger LCR the other day, not a bad revolver, light weight, not too spendy.
I personally carry a M15 snub, but weight not a problem.
