So, I have been both hemming, and yes,.. hawing on the purchase of a new S&W revolver. Looking for recommendations, but based on size/caliber... here is what I have picked
(J) 640
(K/L) 686
(N) 327
I know the J frame isnt going to be pleasant to shoot in a .357M, but will it really be a problem if it is CCW and really only shot to stay practiced on the gun?
Is there a better option (heavier) that could still be ankle carried?
The 327 is an N frame, but it doesnt look that big. Maybe Im just a lard butt and every revolver with a short barrel looks small to me, I dont know.
I would have prefered to not have an external hammer, but that appears to be a trait exclusive to the J frames, so I am removing it as a qualification.
