Been starting to get the itch to replace my back-up gun. My Bersa Thunder .380 is a decent little auto, good accuracy, and very reliable. I just want to replace it with a .38SPL.
I've looked at several S&Ws, the Ruger SP101, and several Charter 2000 revolvers, and I have to say that I really like the S&W 638 the best. (No I won't consider Taurus. Had 2 and they were both crap) The shrouded hammer and short bantam grips REALLY did it for me. This thing slips in and out of my pocket like it was on rails.
So, does anybody have experience with them? Any pros or cons? I'm interested about thoughts on the guns itself, not about how some folks think the company sold us out. I think it's great if you have an issue with S&W, I don't, so please stick to the topic.
Thanks.
