Most all of us carried Detective and Chief Specials off duty, some carried model 10 J frame 2.5in and fullsize. I know they are all "Old Hat" today but old habits die hard
    Wheelguns will never become obsolete or extinct. I have several. My two favorites are my Ruger Security Six and my Smith and Wesson 625 Mountain Gun in .45 ACP.

    What I do not have are any 3" revolvers. I have always wanted one. I have a number of 4" and 2", but no 3". There is one that has really caught my attention, but it hasn't been out very long. It is a 3", 7 shot .357 and it comes with an interchangeable 9mm cylinder. I am tempted to jump on it now, but I think it would be prudent to give it a year or so in the field and see what problems, if any, surface. I don't think they will. I have a 4" .44 Magnum on the same platform and it has been great, but it is better to be patient.

    There is just something about a 3" revolver that really appeals to me.

    She has the bottom one in the picture; a Taurus 85 composite shooting 38P+. The rest are .357s.

    Because of what I have always done for a living, I tend to think along the lines of "fighting" capability when I get a gun. I have shot a lot of Vaqueros and Single Action Army type revolvers. I think my favorite is the Schofield, but in general, they just aren't for me. I like them, but I don't need to own one, if that makes sense. The bottom two, (both Taurus?) I would have in a heartbeat. I have had great luck with Taurus revolvers. My .44 is a Tracker and that new 3" .357 I am trying real hard not to buy (yet) is on the same platform.

    Nice collection.

    Classic.

    My wife has a Marlin 336 in .30-30.

    There is a lot to be said for lever guns.

    I got that Security Six back in the 70s. I will never get rid of it.

    It is not a Python, which is the absolute gold standard in wheelguns, but it is a good solid workhorse that will never fail you.

    Never had a Python. I have drooled over a few, but never owned one.

    I bought mine when they were reasonable plus we got deep discounts. I was dumb to sell them but who knew then colt would stop making handguns.

    Security6 is a great gun, so is the Smith Model 60 that gun is time proven since the 50s

    The barrel is not interchangeable. The cylinder is. 9mm is essentially a .35 caliber, so the existing .357 barrel is perfect.

    The revolver is a Taurus 692. It is one of the "Tracker" series. I have a Tracker .44 Magnum and it has been a great gun. I know a lot of people don't like Taurus and for a long time, their autos were kind of hot or miss. Their newer generation guns have come a long way. I have always liked their revolvers and now their autos are proving quite competitive.
