It was a toss up between the S+W pre36 Chiefs special and the S+W 640-2.Loved them both equally

Honestly most snubbies feel and look the same to me. I have a preference aesthetically for 3” barrels but I don’t consider that to be a true snub nose.

I prefer 4" barrel,but also not considered a snubby

The Colt Detective Special and Colt Cobra (both 6 shot) are my favorites. My wife snagged my 1973 Colt Cobra because it has about the nicest trigger of any snub nose I have ever owned or shot!

See I prefer hammer on mine that way I got ability to sa/da, instead of just double action only.

He'll ain't nothing wrong with taurus revolver sir, got one myself never had a problem with it. Rather buy two relative cheap revolvers then 1 expensive, just remember guys we get what we pay for haha.

My 66-4 snub is probably my favorite. Has all the smith and Wesson peak upgrades of the 90s and has the best action and lockup of any of my smiths. Also carries really easily.

Summer time florida CC is a SW 340 PD 357 mag with a 1.8 barrel 13 oz loaded /winter CC is a 2.5 python both serve as home defense duty too . The 340 is brutal BRUTAL to shoot hot 357 loads

Beautiful gun and I really like 1.1lb weight but last time I looked at one is in the 1k area. Now the colt python that just a classic and some older ones will fetch a fair penny.

I'm looking at a S&W 637 Airweight .38 +P.
Any reviews, comments?

Nothing wrong with them but the 642 is more popular due to the lack of a hammer to snag on your pocket.
I’ve got a couple of 642s but I put CT laser grips on them because I don’t like the little short boot grips that come with them.

Thanks

Both are 1 year old [new ] ....sw 1250.00 colt 1450 .00 . Neither works well for a search and destroy mission they shine at put the front sight on center mass at bad breath range and detonate twice ,they are NOT for plinking . Wife loves the python so much she calls it hers but i still have to clean it

I am waiting for CT to become available for my 340 ....mostly for the grip they claim 30% recoil reduction

I'm interested in one of the taurus poly protector, for yard carry. Lightweight. If I ever see one at a yard gun price, I'm on it or swap for it.

Old - SW 649 in 357. DA but SA capable with no real hammer to snag. New - Colt King Cobra Carry in 357. Shaved hammer with an extra round for 6. Will also give my Ruger sp101 with shaved hammer a vote of confidence.

my wife jacked my [hers now] python and stuck me with the 340 pd
