Snubbie Dilemma!

[Neanderthal]

As the title implies, I have a dilemma! I am torn between keeping one of two small framed .38 revolvers. One is a S&W model 36-9 5 shot .38 (no lock), blued, in fantastic shape. Really has only minimal holster wear at end of barrel. The other is a 6 shot Colt Agent .38. The Colt has a little more wear and doesn't lock up as tight as the smith. However, it is much lighter with a Parkerized alloy frame, but has a slightly larger frame.

For use, I am wanting to keep one of these as an under-the-mattress utilitarian revolver. Something small that my wife isn't too intimidated by, etc.

So, what say you? Which should I keep and which to sale?

Nah, have too many pistols already. I haven't had those too awful long, so I'm not real attached to either of them yet.

Keep the Smith. It's in better shape. Problemo el-solved.

 

[Glock 'em down]

Those are both awesome little .38s.

I more or less own the same two revolvers - a S&W model 60 and a Colt Cobra.

I personally would have to keep both myself. The Chief feels better in my hand, but the trigger pull on teh Colt is out of this world.

Tough decision bro. I couldn't make it.

Keep the S&W! Only because its in better shape.

AGREED! KEEP THE ONE THAT IS IN BETTER SHAPE IF YOU LIKE SHOOTING BOTH. BETTER YET HAVE YOUR WIFE SHOOT THEM AND LET HER MAKE THE DECISION SINCE YOU ARE WANTING HER TO BE COMFORTABLE. SELL ME THE OTHER ONE! LOL

Well, one (most likely Colt) will be for sell in the next day or two I appears. Good idea about letting her shoot both first.

I personally would hang on to the Smith.

Consider this, in the long run the Colt will be worth more in a few years than the S&W. have the lockup tightened on the colt and keep it.
