Colt Detective Special, Colt Mustang .380, and the eternal hammerless J-frame.

The Dick Special is a steel framed version of my Cobra. I own and shoot lots of guns, but limit what I carry daily to two. A Commander when I can get away with wearing a jacket and the Cobra when I can’t.

When working under pressure, a half-century of habit are tough to overcome. When I go to hit the slide release, for example, I don’t want it to be the hammer drop on the SIG I happened to be carrying today. Similarly, if a do a partial load on the revolver, I don’t want a series of clicks because I forgot a Smith turns counter-clockwise.

There are few things as demoralizing as hearing a click when you were expecting a boom!
