Ok, I give up. Why the two cylinders?

53 posts before someone brought up price as a plus and the ol' "evidence locker" aspect of having to use a firearm.D) Would rather have an inexpensive CA tied up in the evidence locker than a nice Smith
Open mouth, insert foot. If one has zero experience with a manufacturer, attributing a trait to that maker's products is pure conjecture. Doesn't contribute to an educated discussion on the topic at hand.No experience with Colt, but expect that whatever applies to Smith, probably apples to the new Colts.
I own one snub-nosed revolver. I put it in the same category as my spare tire and fire extinguisher. A good and proper revolver has a 4 - 6.5 inch barrel.

I will agree with this member as to the weight of Ruger snubbies being a detriment.

Looked at a website today that was claiming to name the 5 best snubnose revolvers. There are lots of these opinion pieces out there and all are subject to varying opinions. But what I picked up on with this one was that I've got 4 of the 5, and a better (to me) choice for the 5th. You?
Ruger SP 101
Smith J-frame
Smith Model 13
Colt Detective Special
Charter .44 Special
Of this list the Model 13 is my favorite, I've had one for years. Instead of the Charter Arms, I have a Smith 696 .44 Special, which is unusual, heavy and bulky but a fine revolver if you can find one.
