[Smokin' Joe]

I am a lover of semi-autos, frankly, though my first handguns were wheel guns. Now I have come full circle, though, and realized both have a solid place in any self-defense plan. With our winter temps here (North Dakota) meaning I might ruin a good parka, I'll take that over being unable to access a semi-auto or get off a second round.

Visions of snagged hammers (with either) trying to draw just didn't cut it. So now, I'm the big bad dude with the little Ladysmith .38 in my pocket. (The Mrs. has one, too.)

The slicker and simpler the system, the fewer points of failure...

I am looking for a small, comfortable, quality revolver for easy carry. Currently, I slip a Seecamp .32 in my jeans pocket and you’d never know it’s there. You can walk right into a stadium while the guards check the ladys’ handbags. It’s a reliable semi, especially if you stick with Winchester Silvertips, but’s not very accurate because the barrel is so short. (Of course, accuracy doesn’t matter much since its purpose is to defend against an up-close and personal attack like a mugging or carjacking.)

Still, if I can find a revolver that’s even close to being as easy to carry as the Seecamp, I’m there.
