    The ideal combination of size, weight, “shootability” and 6 rounds. A dandy Winter, “Pocket Gun”.

    I love those! I have a RB and a SB 2" Model 12, both are pound puppies. Look a bit street worn, but wonderful to carry and shoot. Carries like a J-frame, shoots like a K-frame.

    If Smith would reintroduce a 3" RB Model 12 with a bobbed DAO hammer and no lock, they would sell everyone of them they could build. Just look at how much a 3" RB Model 64 goes for. I have three of them, and they are averaging $800 each right now on Gunbroker.

    A 3" heavy barrel RB Model 10-8 goes for a grand right now. A 2" RB Model 10-8 goes for $2,200 to $2,500 if you can find one. I am scared to shoot mine, it's basically irreplaceable.

    Their Snubby/Revolver episodes are some of my favorites. There are a few they’ve put out over the last few years.
    Yet it is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succor of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till.

    Truth.

    When I get time on my snubs, everything gets better.

    I could not agree more. ST911 is correct, as always.

    Want to be a good shooter with your Glock, M&P or P30?

    Buy a 4" 686 and a 2" Model 15, practice for a year, and you will see your group size cut in half.

    Yes. There was a time when Double Action Revo’s were all one shot in PPC and NRA Action Pistol.
    That definitely increased your level of proficiency with Auto Loaders. Sight Picture, Trigger Control. Focus.
    A true "Gun Guy" (or gal) should have familiarity and a modicum of proficiency with most all firearms platforms.
