On another post I indicated I was looking to buy my 24 y.o. daughter a revolver. Thanks to some member input, I'm re-thinking my choice of a 642 & believe that a revolver with these characteristics would be ideal to be employed as a nightstand and sometimes CCW piece (purse and glovebox carry):
Can that be possible? Am I off in thinking that a fixed sight, 5 shot, 3" barreled revolver is a good compromise in a CCW/HD piece, and would be easy to handle?
I've had good luck with Taurus & have no problem buying another, but I'm a little dissapointed in S&W. I was hoping to have more to choose from, & with about 2 dozen J frames cataloged I thought S&W would have something for sure.
Is Taurus my only choice?
- 3" barrel
- small SS (preferred) or alloy frame
- DA/SA action
- 5 shot cylinder
- 38SPL +P (or .357MAG) caliber
- fixed sights
