I really like, but don't have yet, the Smith and Wesson Night guard series, especially the 44 special. I think it would make a great carry gun. I have carried my 3" and 4" 629s once in a while. I really like the looks of the old Charter Arms Bulldog too.
I wish there were other good quality choices in a 44 Special or 45 Colt snubbie that won't break the bank. I may still have to save up and get one of the Night Guards.

I've got S&W 696 3" L frame .44 spcl. Nice gun. I used to carry it. It is a little big. I am looking into some high performance loads and making that my carry gun in the woods.

That sounds sweet. Got any pictures? I might have to see if they still make that...

The .44 special is a good choice for a revolver for carry if you want that big hole in the end of the barrel.
I used to be a big fan of larger bores like the .444 and the .44 mag, and for some reason I've gone to the opposite end of the spectrum.
I'm heading back though and want to get a 1911 soon, and get another .444 or a 45-70.
The .45 colt in a concealable package woul be great, and I buy one, but what would that be and where can I find it?

The guy who makes the holsters for Simplyrugged, said he carried one in AK. I just don't know anything about the brand. I hate to be brand loyal, but I can be.
GEOI'll take one later tonight. I don't think they make it anymore. I got mine used in 2000, has the firing pin on the hammer. So it is little older. I have seen them talked about on the internet so they are out there.

S&W 696 .44spcl, 3" barrel. I carried it for awhile then bough the SP101. I am torn between easy to carry and easy to shoot. Not the best choice, but I am thinking about some hot loads, for running the dogs in bear and wolf country.
I do like the L frame.

Smith just makes damn fine guns.

I bought a Ruger, after buying 2 Smiths. The shells wouldn't eject, and just didn't feel the same. I don't handle failure well, and stayed away from Ruger. But have started to look at them, after all the positive things I have heard, such as Redhawk.
