In my case, I keep my nails trimmed short because of daily keyboard use - I can't stand the clicking when they get long. Yep too bad about that snub nose. We like the revolvers too as a defensive weapon for the same reasons. My S&W 686 and her Airweight are our constant companions - always loaded with .357 magnum and .38 special +P, respectively - hollow points, of course.

That's why I got rid of my Mod. 36. a looooong time ago. When I picked up my Kimber I was looking at a stainless .38 S&W with a hammer shroud. For a defensive carry weapon I always preferred the revolver - it is always loaded and no worry about stove pipe rounds no matter what ammo you're using. I could kick myself for getting rid of my snub nose .357 Mod. 19 when I retired. BTW - nice hands - have you guys had pedicures recently? :-) I see your paw, at least half of it anyway, wrapped around those beautiful grips. That’s why I got rid of my Mod. 36. a looooong time ago.

She can get all digits of the right hand wrapped around the grip while those of us with larger hands have a dangling digit that gets no purchase at all. Without that extra digit, the gun kicks the hell out of me, about the same as firing a 158 grain .357 magnum round through my S&W 686.
