The Taurus 905 or 9mm SP101 are both good choices. I own both and enjoy shooting them more than most traditional revolver cartridges.
TL/DR:
I don't really want a .22lr but I'll consider it. I most want a 9mm or .22mag. Which would you suggest?
Disclaimer: Yes, I've been around a while. I have not yet owned a .22lr, .22mag or 9mm 2" snub, and I haven't owned a .22mag or 9mm small framed snub at all. I have been considering this for a few months, and I simply can't decide, so I want to see other peoples' thoughts.
They are a ton of fun. On occasion I would carry my Keltec PMR as my EDC when I would go to the beach. Lightweight at 19 oz. fully loaded. Thirty rounds of 40gr 22 magnum is nothing to sneeze at. They are lasers and poa at 100yds. I just recently bought another 22 magnum the S&W 22 WRM. And I'm waiting to buy the Walther WMR in 22 magnum also. I would also carry as a bug the NAA 22mag in holster grips. Great little pistols. I own 3 of them.I want the .22mag, it is the current emotional (but not logical) choice. I don't have any .22mag firearms, and it seems like it would be fun.
i have been intrigued with these taurus 380acp snubbie revolvers because i like 380acp and taurus revolvers. a charter arms 9mm revolver was too much recoil in a poorly made piece. please tell us more about your taurus 380acp revolver hands-on experience. thanks.For me a .22 Magnum revolver is the way to go in the OP case. A S&W 351PD or the Centennial version (I can't remember the model name) or the Ruger LCR-X or LCR, or, why not, a Charter Arms.
If you want something really different, Taurus makes a nice little DAO .380 revolver with a spurless hammer.

Unfortunately I don't have a Taurus 380 and it is currently not imported into my country (Italy).i have been intrigued with these taurus 380acp snubbie revolvers because i like 380acp and taurus revolvers. a charter arms 9mm revolver was too much recoil in a poorly made piece. please tell us more about your taurus 380acp revolver hands-on experience. thanks.
Thanks but, only interested in opinions of the Charters.Unfortunately I don't have a Taurus 380 and it is currently not imported into my country (Italy).
Over the years I have owned three snub nose revolvers: a Ruger SP101 DAO, S&W 649-1 Bodyguard and a S&W 36-2. I had the opportunity to shoot some lightweight snubs: Colt Cobra, S&W 342, S&W 637, Ruger LCR. Now, considering my experience and especially that experienced by my hand during sessions in which I shot 100 rounds of .357Mag or 100 rounds of .38Spl with one of my revolvers, I can say that I am no longer willing to do so. I love these little revolvers but if I were to buy another one in the future it will be in a caliber that develops less recoil energy, like the .22 Mag, the .32H&R Mag or, indeed, the .380ACP.
P.S.: I also had a 2.5'' S&W 686-6 Plus and shooting 100 rounds of factory .357 Mag in the same session, my hand remained sore for the next two days as well.
I just bought a uberti 22LR/22mag.I think a 9mm revolver would be a good choice.
A ruger Single six with 22lr/22mag cylinders is my suggestion for fun gun.
Hands down.
