Smith 696 .44 Special, but carry duty is split with a PPK/S and 1911 (circa 1917) depending on location / occasion / weather. Also have a 3" S&W m24 but it's just too big for me to hide.
 
Me too, I figured Taurus would be a distant third. One more thing I thought of: Is there there any advantage to a shrouded or bobbed hammer for anything other than pocket carry? I think I would miss the hammer, and dislike the looks of the shrouded hammers.
 
Shrouded hammer designs are pretty much for pocket carry--but for that, they're superb.

Bobbed hammers might be argued to have wider advantages; one less thing to snag, print, or stab yourself with. In a combat gun, the hammer is not likely to be used, and gun gurus were bobbing hammers for streamlining effects long before factories offered such.

The way I figure it is, if and when TSHTF for me, I don't want anything to have to think about. I just want to pull it and pull the trigger
 
mgdavis,

Actually, a bobbed or shrouded hammer would be advantageous in any form of concealed carry (and not just limited to pocket carry). Anytime your snubby is covered up and must be removed from cover in a hurry, there is the potential for the hammer to snag on something....

And though I too am somewhat surprised that Ruger is taking a backseat to Taurus, my guess it is because their products tend to be on the heavy/bulky side. No criticism; I like Ruger products a lot and they will last forever; but they tend to be heavier and bulkier than the small Smith and Taurus snubby revolvers.

I'm not surprised

To see taurus in 2nd place. They make a reliable and economical gun that appeals to people on a budget. On a forum like this, you probably get more conosiures (did I spell that right?) then average folks that don't obcess with guns like we do. Collectors and such are drawn to more high end goods. Smiths are higher end than taurus. So there are probably more "smithies" here than "bull heads". Add to that the raw number of models that taurus has to offer, vs the one that Ruger has to offer, it stands to reason.
I have a taurus, but wouldn't turn down other brands. Every company makes good ones and bad ones. If yours is good, keep it!
