S&W released the TRR8 as a tactical revolver for mil/leo/hunting application - optics rail, light rail, 8 shots...but they also released this 2" version, lightweight and Scandium, as a carry gun.   Did it make sense then?  What about now?

smith & wesson is talked here. got a 986. man those scandium cylinders cycle A LOT faster than steel ones, huh. the trr with cyclinder walls THAT thin no thank you! LOVE sw. but nailed to the point perfect carry size to me... ruger sp101 3". or in real hot environments as az or florida or something... J frame maybe? 2" or not.. a N will be big! did myself a moon loader DIY. just bought the arbor plastic thingy. unloading just a piece of copper pipe. 7rd 9mm not 8rd 357 though. don't get to carry cause... germany. so competing with that only.

that 2incher is kind of.. why 357 and 2"? right. for same flavor easier than 357 lighter smaller... they did my 986 9mm as carry snubby. more sense than yours sizewise.

For a while I was getting paid very little and had to work 60 hours a week to stay housed. During that time, 9mm was also 60 cents per round, and every other centerfire cartridge was even more, and I had only just started carrying and trying to practice, and it was pretty cost-prohibitive to try to train with 9. So at that time I took advice from Rhett Neumayer, Darryl Bolke, and Chuck Haggard, and I carried a Ruger LCR in .22LR loaded with Federal Punch, which I tested in a class with Chuck Haggard to ensure sufficient penetration. That was 8 rounds in a gun I could actually conceal, in a cartridge that was still affordable enough for me to train with on a regular basis. Now that 9mm is 25 cents per round, I have a Sig P365X, which is almost exactly the same height and length as the LCR, but is thinner, takes a red dot, offers a 3-finger grip instead of 2, and holds 12+1 rounds of 9mm instead of 8 of .22LR (or 5-6 of a centerfire cartridge). I've owned and shot revolvers a lot, I like them, but I think these days you have to have a real specific niche in mind to choose one over an auto.
