Recommendations for an additional handgun for self-defense.
Advertisements [?]
Background: over several decades for CCW, my family has used S&W Model 38 revolvers and found them perfect for our needs.

S&W replaced the Model 38 with the Model 638, see below.



QUESTION: Based on your personal experience from use, what comparable light-weight revolver from other manufacturers do you recommend with specifications similar to the Model S&W 638?
- Barrel 2”
- Shrouded hammer
- Caliber .38 Special
- Five round capacity
- Weight 15 oz.
- Small frame e.g. J-frame

NOTE: I believe my question meets DU's rule "Discussion of gun-related public policy issues or the use of firearms for self-defense belong in the Guns Forum.
