I've got 4 to choose from, but have a favorite of the bunch.
--S&W Mod 60, 2"bbl, with bobbed hammer, action job and hard chrome finish by Cogan Custom. This is the sentimental choice as was my Dad's old off duty piece. It was purchased in the mid 1960's.
--S&W Mod 442, 2"bbl, hard chromed and action job by Cogan Custom. My favorite carry piece during hot weather when I was stationed in the Tampa Bay area.
--S&W Mod 66, 2.5"bbl, with action job, Velvet Hone finish, jeweled hammer and trigger and porting by Mag-Na-Port. Definitely sharp looking, a real "Bar-B-Que" gun but very bulky and heavy.
--S&W Mod 242 Airlite Ti, 2.5"bbl, large (L frame), but very, very light...about 18oz. Downside, will only take .38 S&W Special. The light weight, enclosed hammer and 7 shot cylinder make up for it. It's my overall favorite and is box stock...very nice trigger, very accurate.

Hmmm... As close as I come is my inherited .38 J frame sq.butt,
heavy 3" barrel, for several good reasons, hammer spur trimmed and rounded and trigger carefully slicked. Nice to have for times you don't think you need a gun...

S&W 940 9mm with 124 gr. Hydra-Shok ammo. Either on my ankle, in my pocket or right side behind the hip.
Well, based on my experience shooting the darn thing I like the 158 gr 357's. I like a heavier bullet, and the flash signature was LOWER than a 130gr fmj 38 special.
I haven't found the "magic" load yet, but I'm working on it.
As far as Magums vs. 38's, I figure the Colt will last longer shooting the lower pressure 38's.
