    I should have a .45 acp in the fold somewhere but haven't decided which one. The Model of 1989 is tempting but a 25-2 would be cool too. Then there's the ultra-tactical TR gun with a rail and all that.

    3" K frames and lots of them:



    And of course Mr. Jovino would get to play:

    I had an ER nurse in a class. I noticed she kept taking all head shots. Her response when asked why, "'I've seen too many people who have been shot in the chest putting up a fight in the ER." Point taken.

    I'd go back to my roots when I carried revolvers for a living. I'd use the 4" 66 for duty use, home defense or knocking around in the woods and a 6" model 19 for range play. My carry guns would be 3" 65s and old school Airweight model 38s or the current no lock 642s.

    I would also like to have a 4" 29…….because Magnum.

    So my God fearing semi-autos have disappeared and my revolvers are "Left Behind"?

    JLW,

    Great pics! I believe that the 3" K-Frames are the best carry revolver every made! I packed a 3" 65 for a lot of years in plainclothes and off-duty and much preferred it to the issued 2 1/2" 66. Nothing every pointed so well.

    Thank you, sir. I really like the balance of the 3"ers.

    I don't much care for revolvers, but the two that really struck me with the reverberations of 'huh, these might have been useful after all!' were my 3" M66 and my buddy's 4" HB RB M10 that he'd had Nelson Ford convert to DAO. Both are smooth, easy-pointing guns. I'd never trade in my autos for them, but if I had to use a wheelgun, those would be high on my list for everyday use.

    Speaking of 3"ers, here is a 3" model 36 square butt. It is a great little trainer. I take it to our citizen classes for all of those ladies who have had a husband/boyfriend/brother/gun-shop-guy sell them a lightweight J frame. At least with this one they get the chance to get some shooting in without it hurting on both ends.

    Forgive my S&W ignorance but do these 3" guns have a full stroke ejector rod?
