Thanks for all the input fellas.
I'm looking for a gun for pocket carry. I currently use an SP101, which goes down great in jeans, but is too heavy at 25oz to drop into your suit jacket or trouser pocket !
The S&W Ti guns look good at about 11oz BUT they are expensive (and look so pretty I'd hate to scuff one)
I looked at taurus Total Titanium and found that they weigh in at 16oz - the same as the Charter 2000 38 - and it's all steel !
The list price on the stainless, bobbed hammer, charter is under $260. I may be able to get one for about $225, which is not bad.
My wife's Ladysmith is 14.5oz and it feels ok in the jacket pocket - so perhaps this 16oz Charter will too.
