Sadly, I can't (it's illegal in California as a sawed off shotgun). The Taurus Judge by Colt (.45/410). Of course, I might change my mind if I ever had an opportunity to handle one. My opinion is academic, based on specs and reports, and I'm not much into traveling out of state just for that purposeResponse by CPT Jack Durish made Jun 13 at 2020 12:22 PM2020-06-13T12:22:01-04:002020-06-13T12:22:01-04:00SSG Michael Noll6001659<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Really like our Ruger LCP in 38 +PResponse by SSG Michael Noll made Jun 13 at 2020 12:27 PM2020-06-13T12:27:14-04:002020-06-13T12:27:14-04:00CW5 Jack Cardwell6001751<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Vintage Colt Agent because it was my Father's back up and off duty carry gun.Response by CW5 Jack Cardwell made Jun 13 at 2020 12:59 PM2020-06-13T12:59:59-04:002020-06-13T12:59:59-04:00Maj Robert Thornton6001752<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I prefer the S&W 442 in .38 +P. No hammer, replaced the springs with a Wilson Combat replacement set, Pachmayr grips. It's lightweight, can carry in my pocket with my pocket holster or on my bike in a pistol wear holster. <br />I have owned a Ruger SP 101 .357 Mag. Even with only 5 rounds it was a heavy beast to carry concealed and I would need new grips to have better control. I sold it.Response by Maj Robert Thornton made Jun 13 at 2020 1:00 PM2020-06-13T13:00:15-04:002020-06-13T13:00:15-04:00CPT Lawrence Cable6001852<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I'm not a fan of the small frame with 357 mag. My choice, in no particular order, would be the Ruger 7 shot GP100, the Smith & Wesson 686 or a Taurus 692. The last having the added advantage of a quick change cylinder that you can shot with 9mm. <br /><br />I think I am going to hold off on the New Generation Colt Snakes for awhile. The initial run of the King Cobra had a lot of problems, especially for a gun of that price point.Response by CPT Lawrence Cable made Jun 13 at 2020 1:20 PM2020-06-13T13:20:07-04:002020-06-13T13:20:07-04:00Sgt John Steinmeier6001902<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I have only fired a snub nose once many many moons ago.

Their size and weight make them impractical. They bang into things I walk past; forget riding in a car comfortably or God forbid getting one into action while seated. The snubbies can't compete with those guns for a number of reasons but the snubby will be with me. That's what makes them great. They are accurate enough that I feel confident using one within 25 yards. The .357 Magnum fired from a 2 1/8th inch barrel has more steam than a similar weight 9mm Luger bullet fired from a 4 inch barrel. My 640-3 is small enough that I have at times forgotten that I'm carrying it. I see no reason to not own and carry one. In cold weather I often carry a 3 inch M-29 in a Miami Classic horizontal rig. Not as versatile as the 640 in a front pocket but I do likes me some N frame.Response by SSG Paul Headlee made Sep 8 at 2020 2:01 PM2020-09-08T14:01:54-04:002020-09-08T14:01:54-04:002020-06-13T12:15:37-04:00
