Looking at Amazon just now I note there seem to be multiple printings, including 2002 & 2007.
Capacity, trigger, and sights do make a big difference to me.I was looking at snubbies, along with pocket sized autos. I ended up going with a Kahr CM9. It had a lot of advantages over the snubbie... 7 rounds vs. 5 (8 if you use one of the extended grip magazines), better trigger, better sights, quicker to reload, and it is slimmer...
Functional reliability, insensitivity to limp wresting, and ability to handle a wider variety of ammunition.The only advantages the wheel gun had that I could see were that it could be fired from inside a coat pocket without jamming, and wouldn't go out of battery in the aforementioned instance of a contact shot. Not enough to outweigh the significant advantages of the auto in my mind. Are there any advantages to the snubbie I am overlooking?
You need full cut pleated front slacks.I never liked carrying a snubbie revolver in my pocket.
It feels like a billiard ball in my pocket.
Mostly for the looks. Although he does talk about it a little.I just looked this book up on Amazon. Did they put a "Fitzed" revolver on the cover to be artsy or is there a reason contained in the book? It certainly doesn't look representative of the short barreled revolver in popular usage.
