S&W Model 64-4, circa 1994, and Greco Whisper, circa 2002.
The above is known teasingly as my "cookie recipe gun." The name came about from me saying "Of course there's a gun in arm's reach when I'm in bed. I assume if I wake up to find a strange person in my bedroom, he ain't there to swap cookie recipes."
Thus, the reasons for the 2" K-frame:
1) It'll likely be used at contact distances, and can't be pushed out of battery like an auto.
2) It'll likely be used at contact distances, and only has a 2" barrel for the assailant to grab, while I have a full K-frame grip in my hand.
3) It'll likely be used at contact distances, and is made of steel so it can be used to beat someone to a paste if the six shots don't do the trick.
So, yeah, a little thought went into picking out a firearm for that particular task. And, for what it's worth, the only cookie recipes I know involve slicing the dough into circles of regular thickness...

Imagine those on a black velvet background! Work on that, Tam. Get a piece about seven or eight feet long. That way, ahem, it could be used for other....alluring..... subjects.
Rifles!
I had to answer this posting....
my tam style post...
Ben, I think Tam onced mentioned that a Barrett wouldn't fit in her Beemer!
Am I alone in thinking, "with such enumerated reasons, a sturdy bayonet mount on that J-frame would not be amiss"?
Add a 6-protruding-inch, double edge stilleto blade right under that 2-inch barrel, and nobody is going to be grabbing for it. The J-frame will also made for a good punch-dagger style grip.
Beautiful gun, Love the Light wood stain of the grips with the Stainless frame.
What I like the most about this photo is all the shades of brown, and the different textures of gray: the brushed steel on the gun, bead-blasted knife, and the pebbly texture of the concrete.
Lurvely. If you ever decide to get rid of that gun, don't you dare sell it without giving me a shot at it. I still kick myself for passing up a 2" 64 with Detroit PD markgins.
BTW, what dash number is it?
It's a 64-4. :)
"Ben, I think Tam onced mentioned that a Barrett wouldn't fit in her Beemer!"
That's what the passenger seat is for, duh. I bet it would go over well with the locals to see a little ragtop with 2 feet of barrel and the muzzle brake sticking out over the windshield. Also I don't know, but it seems possible that the brake may become a whistle if it is in the slip stream just right.
circa? I can't remember dates of acquisition so well either anymore. I'm guessing your trying to catch up to my age. If it's up to me, I won't give you a chance to actually catch up for many a year. :)
"It's a 64-4."
I fact you cleverly and fiendishly hid in the caption. I see you've read "The Purloined Letter." :-)
What kind of grips are on that?
gorgeous
Much many nice. I've got its ugly cousin in a 66 (Pachmyer grips), for mostly the same reasons. (I was looking for a two-inch 65, but the 66 turned up at a very good price. I've never quite understood why anyone would want adjustable sights on a two-inch revolver; it's either supreme optimism or just putting lipstick on a pig).
Given the ranges involved, any thoughts on bobbing the hammer?
ooh, another pretty one - more lovely woodsmithing there. And I pity the fool...
"What kind of grips are on that?"
Those are factory S&W smooth combat stocks (aka "banana grips") in, I believe, Goncalo Alves.
