I just thought i'd post a recommendation for a nice little firearm. I picked this up last week, & have taken it to the range a couple of times. It is in 38spl, which is a decent defense round, is super lightweight (13.5 oz!) & holds 5 rounds. It is a revolver, double action only, with no hammer to snag. There are plenty of good reviews for this pistol, but what impresses me most is it's accuracy. I shot 4" groups from a rest at 30', & 5" free standing from 25'. I don't really conceal carry, but this is the perfect firearm for that. It is nearly as accurate as a 4" revolver, & is much more so than a 9mm auto i have.
It's only been out for a few years, & is pretty hard to find sometimes (especially now!). But if you're looking for a lightweight, accurate, powerful, concealable pistol, this one is tough to beat. The double action trigger is like no other.. very smooth & easy.
It's pretty hi-tech, too. The cylinder & barrel are stainless steel, the front frame is aluminum, which also covers the barrel, & the grip section is polymer. The large hogue grip really helps with recoil.
