First, I should have known that I could not look at S&W revolvers and think that I'd be mighty pleased to own one ... as a single revolver. My search started with a .44 Magnum, but soon other calibers and models kept me awake at night. While I own a S&W 1911 (Gunsite) and a M&P Shield, their brothers and sisters don't call out at 2:00 AM. But all those revolvers. And this Forum does NOT help! All the wonderful choices for every occasion. All I can say is ... it's painful.
