I've got more guns that I know what to do with

but I've had an urge for a lightweight J-frame size .38. It has to be super light and a .38 is fine, I'd not shun a .32 though. Even looked at the .22 WMR models. In my youth I always wanted one of those little High Standard Sentinial 2" .22 WMR 9-shooters.

I barely passed on a pre-hole M638 (Airweight, Shrouded Hammer) S&W the other day. Took lots of willpower. Hard to find them. I don't like fully hammerless myself. S&W was brilliant in this design, a counter to the bolt on Colt's hammer guard.

The Taurus is not bad and seems a value. I've only had a couple Charters. Mine were older and seemed a bit tinny. I'm just not warming to the LCR and my beautiful SP101 .357 weighs a ton. Still a quest for the "Perfect Carry Revolver" - (PCR).

Ship them to me, oh wait, I will come get them.

Would be another excuse to buy more!

Find an early S&W 360.
Scandium alloy frame / Titanium cylinder.
Pull off the rubber "boot grips" that comes on it, throw on a set of magna grips, and you've got a .38 / .357 mag that empty weighs 10oz.

I had one, sort of close. The blued .38 version.

It was the M360. It was mainly for an Asian foreign contract. I installed special grips and a fiber front sight. I can't remember why I sold it, other than a tidy profit, or for another project.

I also have an older Model 37 Airweight.

The 360 is lighter in weight.
