All kidding aside, the CW45 would be a strong consideration for my SD gun because of it's light weight, fire power, quality, and great handling. JMO. I would also consider a 38 revolver.

I've had four SP101s, five S&W J Frame, & a Dan Wesson 15-2 with the 2 1/2" snubbie barrel & any one of them would work for your needs..
I also thing any K frame Smith with the right length barrel would also fill the bill..
Good Luck in your Quest!!

I'm in my 70s and I carry a Smith 649 in 357. Lot of oommmph there but both the weight and the ergonomics of the gun soak it up. I have trouble carrying a firearm that weighs much more than this. Hurts my hip. I carry Winchester 125 grainers in it and practice a lot and feel adequately armed.

Welcome to the forum, BudE.
The 649 is an excellent choice for a snubbie .357 carry. Has the advantage of enough heft to make it more of a pleasure to shoot than the airweights.

When you admit it, and give in to it. I hope I never do. That's my plan, anyway.bearandoldman wrote:When does really old start?ruger22 wrote: When you're really old, you get promoted from Loquacious Olde Pharte, to Ancient Olde Codger.........
I had a grandmother who was always deciding she was "too old for this", or "too old for that". That attitude made her old in a hurry.

You are only as old as you feel.....
My mind thinks I'm 35 but my body thinks something else.
