Just a Hunter

While my wife and daughter were getting there hair trimmed I decided to waste some time at my local gunshop.
I wasnt really looking for anying in particular, but I couldnt help to check the pocket pistol section of the case. ( Ok I looked at all the pistols and most of the rifles also)
I have been VERY pleased with my personal carry pistol which was a S&W 638 stainless airweight, but it had one negative I never really cared for. This was the humpback pistol with the nub sized hammer and though I liked the option of thumbing the hammer back it had the nasty habit of gathering all the lint and dust a pocket could hold even while in a leather pocket holster.

I caught myself looking at the same style pistol with the internal hammer and I simply couldnt find a good reason for me not to make the switch.
The store owner was gracious in his value of my pistol and in short fashion I was packing something that felt as comfortable as my old pistol without the need to perform the maintenance of cleaning dust bunnies from around the hammer shroud.
