I'm fairly well versed in firearms. No point in outlining that currently. I want a revolver because I'm more comfortable with an unholstered revolver in my pocket than an auto, I have a S&W 625 .45 scandium snub, but that is still somewhat large. In general, I stick to .45 1911 for carry, but sometimes the clothes don't conceal and the 625 is too big. I've done business on Gunbroker and a few other sites and perhaps I just miss the auctions. The reason I like the S&W 9mm is that it's just a piece smaller than the .38 specials.
I'll still to wheelguns for "drop it in the pocket." Anyone see/have the taurus 9mm? I know they've got one, but there aren't any around here and I won't buy one to find out it sucks. From pics I've seen, they are much larger than the S&W 9mm snub I spoke of. If anyone sees one up for grabs, post it. I'm looking.
I may end up with a .38 sp, but I'm also trying to keep the ammo I buy in check. One reason for the 9mm is that there are several pistols I own that digest it regularly.
Thanks again.
