"The Old Fuff often carries .38 Special (standard load) Cowboy loads in his pocket snubby, with no worries about so-called stopping power. If an aggressor gets stopped it's because of bullet placement."
Old Fuff, Which model .38 Special pocket stubby do you carry or recommend?
I'm debating whether to get a S&W 642 .38 Special using mild loads, or the 17ounce Taurus Model 731 in .32 Magnum.
One of the problems I'm having with deciding on the Taurus 731 is the exposed hammer, which would have to be bobbed for pocket carry.
Side note: can a bobbed hammer be easily & inexpensively replaced with an original again for easier resale?
In my endless research on .32 magnum revolvers, I think the S&W 632 Centennial might be interesting to check out. Is it light enough for pocket carry? I haven't found out much about it yet, but I did see a picture of the S&W 631 Lady Smith and liked what I saw.
Many thanks!
