Why a S&W?

[RightWinger]

The Ruger LCR is still a tad bit heavier than the S&W 340 or 342......the reason I said that is I have heard people say the LCR is the lightest revolver on the market today, not true.

The BMW vs. Kia analogy only goes so far: neither will last a lifetime. My wife is still relying on the same S&W M67 I bought for her 30 years ago. It goes BANG every time and will still be protecting her when I am long in the ground. When my grandmother passed on years ago I took a 1920s era .32 HE out of a cigar box in her nightstand. It, too goes BANG (more like POP) every time. This is not a piece of sporting goods. It is not even a tool. It is survival gear. Anything mechanical can fail, but the odds are better with S&W or Ruger.

I have intentionally left Colt out because all of their DA revolvers now have over 10 years on the clock and I have no idea what kind or service they offer on them, if any. When they made them, like S&W I staked my life on their reliability.

The better question is why not number ___? (must be more than 5).

Guys, we are good to go. They are going for the SW. My specs are: hammerless, lightwieght, under 2", and a 3 finger grip. I can't be the only guy who finds sw modle numbers bizzar, can I? Best as I can tell, I'm looking at a 642 or a 442. I don't want the scadium because I don't need the .357 capacity, and I dont' want the bullet shake issues that they mention in the owners manual. So the 15oz. is good. The 642 and 442 are both "two finger" grips, but I have an extra handle that has the 3 finger capacity. Am I missing something here?

Oh, BTW, I emailed him this link and he read thru it. It was a pretty easy sale. Thanks guys,
Lop
