Not even a holster that can fit in the back by your spine. Sorry I don’t have the name. That’s what I’m looking for.

Get a 649 - shrouded hammer and stainless. Get an older one and the hammer and trigger were chromed. I was very sad when I started to rust my virginal Model 36 when I lived in Florida.

I bought my first 36 when I was stationed on the Lex in Pensacola. I tried to go shooting at least once a week. I know I put over 5,000 cast 3.2gr Bullseye loads thru it. It won’t rust if you’re always using it.

Small of the Back holster, several makers offer them.

Despite the fairly recent explosion of subcompact pistols, there are very good reasons why the compact snubnose revolver has dominated the concealment/back up gun segment since its introduction.

Easily operated with one hand, unlikely to malfunction, no detachable magazine required, enough capacity to handle the vast majority of defensive gun use scenarios, just enough -and in the case of .357 PLENTY - of caliber, and small/light enough to carry in a bewildering variety of locations.

I love my autos, but more often than not the scandium J frame is what I have with me.

If one is interested in comfort and accuracy, it's the Sig P232P. Yeah, it's only .380 but you're more likely to carry it.

Everyone should have at least two handguns: a small one that would be concealable under just about any circumstance, and a larger one for times when you are going places with higher-than-average risk of needing it.

Plus, you know that, if you ever have to use it to protect yourself, the police will take it as evidence, so you should have a spare.

Mine did. I carried it daily in an IWB holster. I wiped it down every three days with Breakfree CLP. I’m one of those people who sweat battery acid.
