Help With S&W Value

I don't much care for nickle guns, but as a subjective comment (to each his own) I must dispute Rick's comment about this being cumbersome for a carry gun... I owned one much like it 25 years ago, but in .38 Special and blue. It carried quite invisibly in an upside-down safariland shoulder holster under any kind of jacket...

Now I wouldn' t want to try to stuff one of these in a pocket, I have a walther PPK/s for that when jackets are too obvious or too hot... but when jacketed (me not the bullets) this type of gun came along for many a ride to unsavory places, and felt like part of my hand when it was withdrawn from the holster. Sorry I don't have that one anymore...

...and TAC, I think by the term "tear it up" he meant remove it's pristine condition by actually using it... one of those American Euphemisms I am afraid... when you finally move here, you will get used to the language change...
