Ehh, no that's not necessarily a contradiction in terms, at least not in my northern corner of Europe. All possesion of firearms must be for either hunting or competition, so many of our national "Field Target" competitions therefore have its own division for snubrevolvers and pocketpistols.
I already shoot in the divisions "fine" (.22) with my Hammerli 208 and "military" (>9mm) with my SIG 226. I'm also in the process of buying a .357 revolver for the "revolver" division. This will probably be a tricked out S&W with a custom 5" barrel.
Anyway, the "snub/pocket" division is where I can't make up my mind. The Walther PPs and PPKs in .32ACP are popular, but the ones shooting snubrevolvers seem to have a defininite advantage when it comes to reliablity.
Any thoughts? Snubrevolver or pocketpistol?
And: Which snub/pistol?
(The revolver must be a pure .38, as we are only allowed to own one handgun in "each calibre". To the somewhat ignorant policewoman at my local firearms-office, the calibers .357mag and .38 are as different as day and night )
I've already been offered to buy a S&W 60 snub. Any thoughts on this model?
