    snubby question

    I've been toying with the idea of picking up a used snubby preferably in 357, preferably that holds 6 shots. I'd LIKE the Colt Magnum Carry.. since its stainless. But what else is out there? Any thoughts of what's to like/dislike? All makes/models are welcome.. I'm listening.

    2 new shows... any thought?

    Spent a bit of this evening watching TV.. Escapist TV while we are waiting for more news. Any thoughts on Alias or UC "Undercover"?
