I really do love this gun. It's compact, light enough to lounge around with, freakishly accurate, and just fits in with my lifestyle.

Yeah I thought I had a trade going for a LCRx 3" .357 but it fell through. I wasn't really sure that is what I wanted anyway hence the "talk me out of it" post I made.
I think I might like a 3" K frame or something like it for concealed carry for when I can't take a Glock 19 or P365. I have my M66-2 4" square butt I could use but it would not be ideal. I can always fall back on my M638 or 642 so it really isn't a big deal. I'm just planning ahead for more restrictive laws that may be on the horizon.
Forgiven: consider getting your 66 roundbutted. When I first made plainclothes decades ago, I was a poor cop with wife and family. Only had a Model 19 4". That square butt had to go, as there was no money for a new firearm. Brownells has the tools to round butt. It's what I did and an IWB in summer and an OWB in winter worked well. Just a thought.
I found these:

I am having a really hard time envisioning a situation in which you could not carry a Glock 19 or Sig P365 but could carry a 3” K-frame. I have been carrying my P365 most days, and with 10 round flat base par magazines, I can pocket carry it.
When and where are you thinking of carrying whatever new gun you buy?

$32 is very reasonable but I winged it with my m64.

My P365 is in my pocket as I type this. I pocket carry it almost everyday.
I am probably "future trippin'" just a bit....
I am licenced to carry in 40 states and I am retiring in 3.5 years and will be traveling, Lord willing. I will be spending a lot of time crossing the Colorado River between AZ and CA. It light of this plus the evolving political situation, I am in the process of putting together tools that are legal in most places with relatively "non-threatening" looks. I plan to take revolvers, a lever action carbine and perhaps a pump shotgun. All traditional looking, wood stocks, standard sights, no black plastic, pure Fudd.

Carry guns are like underwear. What is workable for one person is torture to his neighbor.
A round butt 3” K carried IWB is my go to off duty gun when my hips and back act up.
The Glock 23 slide presses into my right hip at the right spot to cause pain.
A 3” K does not press that spot and the round butt and spur less hammer of my M64 NY-1 slightly aids concealment and doesn’t snag on clothing.Attachment 62468
This makes a lot of sense.
Be careful when going into some of those more restrictive states. I am not familiar with CA law, but at least some states require having some type of license or firearms purchaser ID card in order to possess at least certain types of guns outside the home (or even in the home), even unloaded and locked up for transportation.
NY and NJ come to mind.
On the rare occasions that I drive there, I go unarmed, despite LEOSA, and shake the vehicle down completely for any stray cartridge cases or anything gun related.
Paranoid maybe, but I refuse to be a LEOSA test case in their court system.
Also, my trips there usually involve a cruise of several days embarking from the NYC cruise ship terminal and an unattended firearm for a week in a vehicle is a no go.
I still need to buy a pair of LCRs.
Free, easy, works well, doesn't spontaneously break for no reason:

More videos to follow, including my son helping me to reload comp 2s:cool:

I ran the FAST drill 5x this afternoon with the 2” Kimber K6S after some dry fire warm up. Best time 12.06, worst 17.34, and average of 14. The +17 run was a chaotic cluster with me managing to dump 5 in the cylinder and leaving one still in the HKS speed loader lying in the dirt. First time running this drill with a wheely. Definitely a hoot and am going to continue running it. I learned that I’m going to need a lot more dry runs with the reload to get faster. Caleb has a sub 7 second run on YouTube, link below, using moon clips. TK Custom said moon clips are a no go for the K6S as there isn’t enough material so I’ve got to get better at jamming and twisting with the HKS.

Good job, I might be able to run it this week.

My times are about 7 seconds flat with a K snub, Jetloaders, and retaining the revolver in the strong hand / reloading weak hand. Move to Comp II's and that moves to about 7.5 seconds. J snub with HKS speedloaders is about 8.5. All that took a lot of dry fire practice. Initial results when I decided to work on FAST were more like mid-13's. Between COVID and a mild case of tennis elbow I haven't practiced much dry or live for the last couple months. Without regular practice my numbers have probably regressed.
I looked in my old records and found where I had run the FAST in the 7 to 8 second range with a few clean runs. And several not clean runs. :( I was using speed loader revolvers.

I gotta say I was pleasantly surprised that the ahrend grips were not slippery. It was only 100 rounds but they felt good. I was concerned they would.
