I always love seeing vintage, pre-lock S&W revolvers. Especially those of the blue steel and wood grip variety! The humpback Bodyguard models always appealed to me.

The S&W Model 49 Bodyguard - you either love it or you hate it, there is no middle ground. I love it. Others at my agency hated it, especially the administrative types who preferred the stainless Model 60 for show on their belts at the office next to their badges. The Model 49 was liked by street cops as a back-up, and some of the older detectives liked it too because it can shoot through pockets. The rest of the detectives carried Model 10s with 2" barrels, most with armory chopped hammer spurs. They were given a lot of flexibility with guns in those days, as long as they were .38 Special caliber. The patrol guys carried 4" or 5" Model 10s. When the agency switched to 9 mm and 380, all the revolvers were sold for $150 each. Most were only shot 48 rounds a year with target loads for the annual qualification so they were in excellent mechanical shape. All were bought by agency officers.

My dad was a rural family doctor in the 70s, in Wyoming near Thermopolis. He had an original doctor's bags,that he carried drugs in for patients( it was still the days of housecalls) . So he carried one of those shrouded hammer j frames. He was concerned of being robbed for the drugs for some reason. Dad would take us to the range. Everyone got to shoot it.

I am so glad you just put out this program. I have several revolvers I haven't even touched lately. I'm starting at a new range here before long and I'm gonna take a bag of revolvers with me they'll probably be thinking I'm some old dude. Which I am . I have three Glocks also. For at least a couple years I I've been carrying my Glock 26 Gen 5 with a 2 round extension on the magazine and a 17 round magazine as a backup. The first time I took that thing to the range at about only 20 feet I fired off a magazine and the guy with me just said oh my. He said all your bullet holes are touching. I said that's the way I shoot.

I feel like revolvers are the most dependable firearms. It doesn't have a 30-round clip, but for a self-defense weapon, it can be concealed, and in a pinch, it will surve its purpose. To me, they are the best feeling for reliably knowing they work on demand in that moment. I do carry a semi compact, but nothing gives me reassurance like a wheel gun. When I hunt, I carry a wheel gun as my secondary weapon. Ole faithful.
