I love my little Rossi 357 2 inch for personal carry. Stainless and I paid under 150 dollars for it. accurate enough for personal protection. I used to carry full load 357's in it all the time.

Then my mother in law came over one night complaining of a skunk getting in her trash and basicly stinking up the place and he is in the trashcan right now. I went and grabbed the rossi and walked next door. A couple of well tossed rocks got the llittle stinkers attention and a well placed shot to the chest dispatched him but i could not see that i hit him for almost one minute. I had never fired that little pistol at night and the muzzle blast was far to blinding for any follow up shots. I picked up some milder loads in 38 and shot it a bit more at night that week so i could get off more than one good shot.
