I take it you're not a fan. I was looking at their .38 snubbies vs Charter Arms. Don't know if either is any good.
No I’m not. Bought Mrs. Slim a Model 94 (small frame 9 shot .22 revolver). It shaved more lead than a pencil sharpener and the rear sight blade fell off.
Eventually had to atone with a Sig Trailside with Nill grips and a red-dot.
I’ve heard good things about Charter Arms from some folks.
My wife really liked the Taurus 85 38SPL revolver. We were in San Diego at the time and two week waits applied, except if you purchased at the range, you could use it on premises. She did. The nice, soft trigger pull turned out to be a defect. 3 out of 5 had light taps on the primer, but failed to ignite. It was now a "used" gun, so off to Taurus for "repair". It came back 5 weeks later. A very heavy trigger pull, but 100% ignition. A very disappointing experience.
The Ruger LCP smacks my hand too hard. The Ruger LC9s is comparatively easy to shoot accurately. The S&W M&P Shield 9mm is even better than the LC9s and much easier to take down without extra tools. Both have good holsters and are easy to carry. Tagua makes a nice belt slide OWB for the Shield that rides high enough on your belt to nicely disappear under your jacket.
The S&W 640 is a nice snubby in .357mag. Enough mass to avoid smacking your hand too hard. Shrouded hammer, so pocket carry is possibly. My principal objection to the J-frame is having my finger pinched behind the trigger. Just bad geometry for my hands. L-frame optimum, N/X frame usable.
