In the interest of opening up more of the forums for chatter and an over all curiosity, I have been looking around for a light weight, small .38 revolver for a while and come up with a S&W Airweight or a Taurus Ultra-Lite every time, I am far from a Revolver kind of guy and just know I have to be missing something either smaller or lighter right? I hope? ;D

so what say you?

Nope thats pretty much it as far as size and weight go. There is Charter Arms revolvers but they are the same size as the Smith and Taurus.

Some comparison pics b/t my LCP and SW 442 airweight

 

[Nietz]

;D

I have seen those, cool little thing isn't it? too bad they won't let them into the country might be a fun little novelty gun 8)

thats a good compare shot on the other as well.

Not being picky, but are we looking down the barrel of one or two LOADED guns?

I think the "hammer resting on an empty cylinder" credo doesn't apply to modern revolvers, although some still adhere to it and swear by it.

So yep, there are 6 rounds in that revolver, the way it should be. Same as when we carry with "one in the pipe" in our LCP's.

You missed my point entirely, which is... we're looking straight up the barrel of a loaded gun. Sorta breaks every rule of gun safety, no?

Nah.......the 442 is a "J-Frame"--hence you are only looking at 5 rounds, not 6. That would be a "K-Frame."

And it is most commonly carried with a loaded chamber. The hammer is internal, there is nothing to drop unexpectedly--as you have to pull the trigger to get the double action brewing.

While I would be unamused to see this view in the hands of someone with their finger on the trigger, looking at a ell ligted photo on a table doesn't stir me.

Guess I'm jaded........ :-\

Okay... maybe I got a little over excited, but you will never see me standing in front of a loaded gun for any reason....

LCP wasn't loaded at the time. As you can see, the snubby was. But the camera was set on table to take the pic. That's why it's not entirely focused well...

Unless someone is holding the gun, they dont worry me lol. But I have guns all over the house and I'm the kind of guy that when I sit down on the couch and the weapon that I set on the coffee table earlier is pointing at me...I'll turn it around. Not scared that its gonna go bang, but like you, I'd rather not have the business end of a gun looking at me at any time.....

The lightest Taurus is the Total Titanium at 19.9 oz.
The lightest S&W is the 340 PD at 12oz.
Both are 357mag., but most people fire 38spec. to tame the recoil.
I have a 340 SS which is a Talo limited edition like the 340 PD only with a stainless steel cylinder, the 340 PD and the Taurus have titanium cylinders and are a little more care when cleaning as compared to stainless. John

Well this is my SW 38spcl Air Weight.

 

[Mokanracer]

Well theres a couple of the real small revolver pin fires. They will fire a #8 buck shot..

 

[yankee2500]

My smallest gun. John

 

[F1Rocket]

Quite a collection.

 

[xenicintelligence]

;D

we all know that you will just shoot your eye out with that thing!!!!
come on fess up, i bet you wear a patch over one of your eyes?

nice , though i bet it is hard to find the ammo for it. guess that means no 300 round shooting outting and no available value pack ammo from walmart uh?????

 

[gcwimmer]

He probably does his own reload. ;D

Not a problem. That J frame: No Pull trigger, no go bang. Firearms don't go off of their own accord.
