After doing a fair amount of upfront research, I decided on a hammerless revolver that was compact enough to carry. After handling several brands, I felt the Smith and Wesson was better constructed with less play in the moving parts i.e. cylinder and ejection rod. The S&W came with a laser sight for similar price to competitive models without the laser sight.
