Shrouded Hammers?
Since I just got my concealed carry permit, I'm wanting something small to carry. I've pretty much made up my mind on a shrouded hammer 357 but I've never had a shrouded hammer and I don't know whats on the market. Could I get a few suggestions on this?

Man, I love this site. I post a question and get a reply in minutes.0 -
In 1996 the 640-1 in .357 Magnum was offered. Airweight versions, Models 442 (blued) and 642 (stainless) were also brought to market. As noted earlier, the Model 642 has been enormously successful.
As the centuries changed, Smith & Wesson worked in exotic space-age metals such as titanium and scandium to make the guns even lighter, and yet strong enough to chamber the .357 Magnum cartridge. The new metallurgy produced models such as the 340Sc, the 342Ti and the 340PD.
Between 1991 and 1998, S&W produced the Model 940, a stainless Centennial chambered in 9mm. A group of three hundred were built in the ".356 TSW" caliber (good luck finding ammo for that one).

The Ruger SP101r revolvers are smaller framed guns which still can handle powerful .357 Magnum cartridges. They also feature a smaller Ruger cushioned grip system with no exposed metal at the back strap for shooter comfort, the patented triple-locking cylinder mechanism that securely locks the cylinder into the frame at the front, rear, and bottom, and a stainless steel frame that has no weakening side plates.
Ruger SP101 revolvers come in spurred and spurless hammer versions and take down easily with no special tools. Ruger SP101 revolvers are best for shooters who need a smaller framed, durable, all stainless steel revolver chambered for the powerful .357 Magnum cartridge (which also permits use of .38 Special ammunition). Built as some of the smallest, most powerful, smaller frame revolvers on the market, they feature Sturm, Ruger's rugged durability and are engineered for solid performance.0 -
My favorite conceal revolver is the S&W bodyguard with accesable but shrouded hammer

I have the Taurus 651 total titanium (well sort of, I paid for it) and I love the "sorta hammer" it is fully functional and even has "checkering" to make it grip, and yet so low that it would never snag or be unintentionally cocked. It had to go back to Taurus though, each time I fired the gun the cylinder would pop open and I would have to close again. Waiting on return, I hope it is not inherent to the gun its not much of a concealed carry defensive weapon with that problem. 0
