You are in need of a replacement. Something Glock 19 sized but not a semi-automatic. There are only so many older Smith 66s.

What would you purchase today as a compact sized carry gun if semi-automatic pistols no longer existed?

Ruger SP101 in 327 Fedral Magnum. Don't need to buy it, it's in my safe.

Money not an issue, a PERFORMANCE CENTER® MODEL 627 with an 8-round capacity. If money is an issue then a Ruger GP101 3” with a 7-round capacity.

Since this is a ridiculous hypothetical scenario, my answer will be as equally outlandish - The G18. About G19 size and not semi-auto.

S&W 610

Me too.

627 with 2 full moonclips, a 625 with 2 moon clips,

awe fuck it, I will just carry 9 revolvers in a bag, shoot one, grab another.

3” Ruger SP101 in 357 magnum.

s&w model 342 .38spec

Already have it - just in case.
3” S&W Model 625-3

Already have a 625 and moonclips.

Either of the following of the collection.

Smith 681PC. Moon clip load, speed loader reload.
Smith 686+ speed loaders
Smith 627PC 2.6 moon clip load, speed loaded reload.

I can go Glock 26 sized and outfit the house too.

I like revolvers.

I have a problem.

Ruger Speed Six in .357mag with 2 3/4" barrel......

Stainless Ruger GP100 in .357 with 3" barrel and Novak sights.

This will be me

3 or 4 inch gp100

Already own it. Chiappa 200DS 357/38. I carry it often in the summers in very low risk areas with 2 speed loaders in a speed loader pouch. I guess in this scenario I’d buy a second one, a 3” 30DS. 38’s feel like a .22 with the barrel on the bottom. I still think 38+p’s are sufficient for self defense.

No need to buy anything new--Already have two S&W Model 19 Snubbies and two Model 66 Snubs--And more Four-inchers, if needed...

I'd go back to the 4" 686 I used to carry. It's a little big, but a good pancake holster helps. I also have access to a colt python, a detective special, S&W 64 with 2" barrel and 3" S&W 66-3 that would all work well.

Just bought this a few days ago...this!
