re: Recent discussion of DAO hammerless ccw

Yea back in the day a "light" .357 magnum was unheard of. If you wanted a small carry gun you got a snubbie .38 smith or colt, And that was about the extent of your carry options. These days you can get an airweight smith in .357 mag that probably weighs as much as a popcorn fart and (if you enjoy pain) fill it up with full power magnums and blast away.

The .38spl chamber just doesn't make much sense to me anymore unless you have to cut weight as much as possible.
