The Smiths aren't ported. I recall reading that with the construction of the shroud and barrel that porting would be difficult.
But who knows.

As far as a previous comment, that ammo cost isn't important as you won't be shooting it much -

bad TFL'er.

You should shoot your carry gun alot. I try to run 50 rounds through my 642 when I also practice with my 9mms (200 rounds). But at
$7.00 a box for 38 SPL it's not so bad.
At $20 a box - Ouch.

Snubbies aren't the easiest gun to shoot.
I guess they can be emergency in your face guns but you should shoot them more than once a year.
