Offers great options:

Classic and proven
Great aftermarket options
(2) Ruger LCR - 38 or 357
The best trigger
(3) Taurus 605 or 856
Best price point option

Advantage to a Snubby is the ammo variety options - if you select a 357 - you can painfully shoot 357 - or 38 light to high +p loads - 38 wadcutters or snake shot

Enjoy the journey
 
Okay all you snub aficionados, who makes the closest to the body CCW OWB leather holster for small revolvers, preferably easy on and off if possible. Yes, my Googlefoo works, but some of you have actual experience with them, I’m sure.
 
Yep, love my S&W 642-2 Airweight
Fits great in a Desantis B2 pocket holster.
It's my needing to go places where I'd get in trouble for carrying so I can leave it locked up in my truck easily gun.

Been thinking about picking up a gun in 357 to go with it.

Don Hume H710 first Agent. Of course, they show it with a 1911 but they make it for snub nose also. JIT is a close second.

The "Techniques & Tactics" column of the magazine Combat Handguns, March 2003, contained an article entitled "Why Revolver Beats Auto."

The article, written by Ralph Mroz, is based on the work of Michale deBethencourt a one-time knife instructor and an instructor at SIGARMS Academy. I am not sure where he is today.

Here, in brief, are his 25 reasons. He explains each in detail but I'm only going to type in the first sentence of each of the 25. This stuff is absolute gospel for those who train, carry and routinely shoot a revolver. We could expand and elaborate on these points today, since it has been 22 years since this was printed.

1. Worlds safest live round indicator.
2. Minimum maintenance.
3. Superior reliability.
4. Faster into action.
5. Ya seen one, ya seen 'em all.
6. Fewer shot necessary to prove reliability.
7. Ammunition choice.
8. Misfires are reflexively corrected.
9. Always available to trusted others.
10. Much easier for beginners.
11. Loading is easier.
12. Easier to unload and make safe.
13. Easier to shoot.
14. Less expensive.
15. Greater tactical versatility.
16. Looks nicer. Jury-friendly.
17. Grips are infinitely adjustable.
18. Pocket fire.
19. Four season common carry.
20. Cheap practice.
21. Points well.
22. Can't fatally foul up the grip.
23. Less likely to accidentally discharge.
24. Stopping power available in small package.
25. Safer after the incident.
 
While I do mostly carry a small revolvers, J frame or LCR, some of those seem outdated, though some remain spot on.

As an easy example, I can buy many brands of 9mm cheaper than .38sp or .357. And I won’t even get into .32 H&R prices 😀. “Much easier for beginners, easier to shoot, less expensive, cheap practice” all seem questionable these days compared to some of today’s autos. My wife took like a fish to water with a SW .380EZ…she can’t pull a standard factory revolver trigger in DA (and I have a few DAO revolvers). In SA, of course she can fire, but then you have the problem of getting to SA, whether after first DA or her trying to stretch to cock hammer.

I do appreciate your list and I’m slowly moving to carrying a revolver almost full time (bought another yesterday).

The biggest thing I like about revolvers is that I practice with my carry guns. By carrying a revolver, I put range time in. Range time with a revolver is much more challenging (to me) than any of my autos, and I enjoy challenges at the range!
