    This great little back-up/off duty revolver is built on the famous J frame (Chief's Special) and is extremely lightweight and comcealable. I perfer to carry the 135 gr. Gold Dot (short barrel load) .38 +P in mine. It is not a target or range gun, but with pratice, it is accurate and will meet your close range defensive needs. They offer both a orange ramp, and a hi vis light gathering green dot front sight. This is a internal hammer (centennial), offers snag free draw from a pocket holster or ankle holster. I have carried mine daily since 2005, and recommend it highly to someone needing a light weight "everyday" concealable firearm.

    Great oh shit gun. I take this weapon with me when I run and cycle, it's super compact and fits in a cycling jersey pocket with a Micka holster.

    This is a great conceal carry and BU gun. It hits like a ball peen hammer when firing .357, but it is an effective and easy to use gun, especially if you're in "oh shit!" mode - close quarters, high stress, out of options. It's small size means you can carry it in a variety of places and within any kind of clothing; it's light weight ensures it's concealment. Ultimately, it's probably better to carry a BUG that matches the same caliber as your primary weapon, but, like the old saying goes: it's better to have [something] and not need it than to not have [something] and need it.

    Perfect back up gun if you ever need to screw it into some crooks eye socket or ribcage. Just pull the trigger and boom. No need to worry about malfuntions...
    Light and easily concealable.

    Very nice weapon. Once owned one and wish I had it back again. Would like to buy one but just too expensive right now.

    This sounds like a great weapon for a back up. It also sound like the thoght was put into it when it was being designed.

    It is the best BU weapon you can have light and small but still a hand canon. I looked at allot of concealable small pistols but being a weapons retention instructor a best thing is you never have to worry about you pistol being out of breach with a revolver. When all hell is broken lose just stick it in a neck and pull the trigger. I love mine it is like a master card don’t leave home without it. They say it weighs the same as a pair of peerless handcuffs when it is loaded.

    I love mine. Good for an ankle back up or an easily concealed off duty gun.

    Excellent back-up or concealment gun. Very lightweight and snag free.

    Light-weight and concealable. Kicks like a mule and leaves your hand aching after shooting several rounds of .357 magnum through it. Probably has to go with the snub nose length, alloy weight, and less than full size grip. .38 +P is easy to shoot though.
