Alright boys and girls. I got me a hankering for a snubbie. Desired specs:
1) 357mag or 38 special
2) reliable
3) reasonably rugged
4) covered or spurless hammer
5) stainless
6) rubber grip, the larger the better
Intended use is comfortable carry for self-defense. I also thought about a semiauto, particularly Walther PPKS and its brother the little SigSauer, but I hate the idea of slides cutting my skin, as well as would like to be able to fire from a confined space in an emergency. Thus the snubbie with covered or spurless hammer. Rounded contours would be nice too, to prevent catching up in clothing.
All my other stuff is full-size/large-frame, so I am a snubbie-newbie. Ruger SP101 looks nice but S&W had the light ones and a large variety. Tauruses have not even been looked at yet. Thus please share your opinions and the reasons for them.
Many thanks!
