EDC revolver?

[WildBill]

My favorite revolver that meets your description is a S&W Model 19 (or 66) 2.5". You would have to buy used and they aren't cheap on GunBroker.com. Very few were made with 3" barrels, but they are as scarce as an honest Democrat. I really like those guns.

Bud's Guns has a Model 66 listed for $639.
