One needs to practice double action shots to become proficient. I find the smaller J-Frames to be uncomfortable and somewhat punishing to shoot. To become proficient, I find the K, L, and N frame revolvers to be far more enjoyable and less punishing. J- Frames definitely have the edge for concealability, but chances are pretty good if a gun is not enjoyable to shoot - you probably won't practice much with it. JMO
It's amazing what you find in small town nc pawns shops
The father passes away and the unappreciative son takes it and pawns it or trades it for a plastic fantastic.
I rescue what I can.
I got the above model ten that way.
Box, owners manual , cleaning rod and wax paper. Looks unfired no turn ring on the cylinder.
