The J-Frame Snubbie is Smith & Wesson's biggest seller.

Why would they want to kill off the goose that laid the "Golden Egg"? Wheelguns still have their place. Off Duty I carry a Revolver that has been rendered DAO and has had the Hammer Spur removed.

My BUG is a Snubbie. The Snubbie is easier to draw from a pocket than an autoloader. It can also be fired repeatedly from the pocket of a jacket. That is something you won't be able to reliably do with a self loader. The Snubbie, or any DA Revolver is also easiest to hand to someone who does not know the manual of arms of that weapon. "Just point and pull Trigger."

Now we come to the biggest reason of all, for me. I LOVE WHEELGUNS!
