I really like those bobbed hammer snub nose sw revolvers, i just wish theyd put more out in a polished finish with wood grips rather than that dull aluminum look. A 357 chamber would be really nice too

I keep hoping for a Colt Detective Special (out of production).  Rock Island Armory has a .38 revolver that some have compared to the Detective Special. Also, some have said that its not as polished as it could be. I've seen the RIA .38 and the handle is just a broomstick style. Not at all like the classic worked hardwood.

Just picked up a Ruger LCRx 38. Nice little revolver.

I have several wheel guns and like and dislike some.  My 2nd(1st was an old Iver Johnson .22) was a Colt Trooper MK 3, .357.   Very nice, easy to shoot  nice trigger in single and double, but big.  I have a .22 mag Ruger hammerless I bought for wife, trigger is about 18#, way too much.  S&W .38 Bodyguard w/laser.  Light, easy conceal, one of my carry guns.  Next was a S&W 637, 38+P from their precision shop, very nice, very light, don't even know I have it on,  very nice trigger in single or double.  but only 5 shot.  I have a bunch of other guns from .380 to colt .45's but the 637 is my favorite for carry.  I am not a big guy, so big guns tend to print too easily.  I believe that concealed should be just that.

That is a beautiful grip, but consider a Hogue grip, it will hurt less when you shoot it.
