    S&W model 36 or pocket pistol.

    Me I love revolvers >> simple operation and high dependability . Modern Autos are getting to be as dependable, but many have a safety you have to remember , other a trigger that can cause negligent discharges . The Hated trigger safety. Seems the most people shooting themselves fall victim...

    Do You Sit on a Stool When Reloading? Height of Stool vs. Bench?

    I guess the bench is just under the top of my hip bone . I stand most of the time but have a wood bar stool handy to sit when I feel like sitting stool might be a tad higher then standing . I have some back problems and need to move and shift quite a bit . It works well for me .

    Seven rounds of .38+P, or five rounds of .44 special?

    Love both calibers. I keep 44 specials handy for home defense. 38's target practice and killing the pesky tin can family . I just like the bigger heavier 44 if my life is on the line . My opinion 2 winners just pick your preference.

    I might be one of the old guys that love steel revolvers and lead bullets .>>So cleaning up after a some range time is not the end of the world.. Take the Cap and Ball in the picture . that is smoke and dirty clean up time . I love it . Cleaning a 357 /38 or a 44 is super easy .

    Good guns .Coming from almost every thing I have heard in the last 20 some years . Not the best looking, not the smallest but just a good pistol . If you like it then it is a good gun for you as well.
