I've got a S&W M38 Airweight bodyguard that never seems to get shot or carried. Recently, I found a M66-5 with a 2.5" barrel that has been tempting me mightily. In addition to holding one more round, the M66 has a more durable finish and is a little more stoutly-built than the non-+P-rated M38. Plus, I tend to prefer the leaf-sprung K-frame to the J-frame and its coil spring.
On the other hand, the M66 is twice the weight and I am not sold on the real-world practicality of a magnum snubbie. Still, should I trade for the M66?
