The old Best Revolver theme...

"Best" is too broad. Each one of mine has a purpose.
My M340PD lives constantly in my non-dominant side pants pocket. My M696 serves well when I am doing a Bodyguard assignment, and there is only a single threat. I want them to see a BIG bore if I have to throw down on 'em.:eek: The M28-2s serve well when I can wear a sweater and conceal an N-Frame in my IWB holster. (Plus, I just like carrying a Highway Patrolman). My favorite carry revolver is my 2 1/2" M66-1. .357 Magnum power, six shots and a concealable, comfortable grip. What's not to like about that?
Tonight I have a surveillance assignment. It's getting a little cooler, so I have on a sweatshirt. I'm kinda in a .38 Special mood, so I'm carrying my 2" Nickel M15-3 Combat Masterpiece, backed up by the aforementioned M340PD. The nice thing is, I have about 25 choices. So it just depends on my mood.:cool:

I'm not a fan of N frame .357's. If I have to tote an N frame around I would just as soon it be in a more substantial caliber. The larger calibers load down as well as up to suit your need.

A k frame .357 makes sense, either a 3 or 4 inch barrel. And whatever it is it better be stainless.

I'm of like mind with .357Larry. To me the "N" frames are just too bulky and my "L" frame 686 with 4" bbl is nice to shoot, but still has more heft than I want. For in hand feel, quick to point and overall most handsome S&W revolver I like the "K" frames, of which I have four in .357 caliber - 3" 65, 4" 13, 4" 66 and 6" 19. For Larry, the two which aren't stainless are nickel.
 
I like any of the N frames as long as they are in 44 special. However I have a fixed sight model ten heavy bbl that is just plain fun to shoot. Jacketed bullets or lead alloy "boolits" gobbles them all up and is suprisingly accurate. Frank
 
after thinking about this for a while. It would be a split between my 28-2's and my 27-2's. Just can't decide between those two models.

After having my 625-4 5" have a 4" mountain gun barrel installed, I believe it would now be my pick.
