Just curious...
Aside from being able to fire SA as well as DA, is there any reason for choosing a Chief Special configurations (that is with the exposed hammer), when there is the concealed hammer version?
(For now, let's not include the shrouded hammer version in this question.)
The concealed hammer (Centennial) version is more snag-proof, allows higher grip (that helps control recoil) and prevents lint from entering the inner workings of the gun.
Is it just cosmetics that people still choose the Chief Special edition...
or is there a tactical advantage in doing so? (Many consider firing in SA inappropriate for a self-defense situation....so is there another reason for this version of the snubbie?)
