I inherited my dad's original type Colt Agent (lightweight aluminum framed snubbie . . . 6 rounds)
I also have a S&W Model 36 no dash 5-shot snubbie.
I much prefer the S&W in many ways.
The Colt is six shots . . . and the speed loaders for my S&W K-frame 6-shooters also fit the Colt Agent. Thus, the fattest part of the Colt (the cylinder) is the same as a K-frame. If I want that kind of width in a concealment gun, I'll tote my tack-driving 3" Model 65 S&W .357 over the Colt.
The little J-frame is much narrower in the cylinder area and, although "just" 5 rounds, who in the heck would want to be shot with even one?!!!
I can put the little M36 in my pocket holster and go anywhere (legal) with it . . . and it groups an inch at 10 yards, standing and unsupported. I don't get that kind of accuracy from the Colt.
Thus, in a snubbie wheelgun, I much prefer the trigger pull of a Smith.
Here's the first target I shot with this new (to me) 1964 nickle-plated Model 36 STANDING and UNSUPPORTED . . . all directly into my 1" black target at ten yards. This kind of little wheelgun sparks a lot of confidence in it's abilities.
