My wife swiped my Colt Detective Special. I get to see it in the evening hours but she disappears with it every morning. After the first time shooting it, she started to refer to it as, "hers"... from the woman who wouldn't keep anything except a 1911 in the center console or purse, she now has a "carry piece".
If you're not familiar with the Detective Specials, Agents, Cobra's give them a look. Cylinder size is comparable to a K-frame S&W, takes the same speed loaders as my Model 10's and 13. I believe the Detective Special is one of the smallest 6 shot revolvers made, 25oz empty, handles very well even with some +p, very accurate considering the barrel length. The frame is smaller than a Model 10 K-frame S&W, which weighs in at 36oz.
Only issue is it's a Colt, cost is up there around $400 to $800 depending, but even the old clunker I have locks up tight... there were a million made, but it's taking me a little bit of searching to find another that fits my fancy.
