Got to admit I have a thing for small frame revolvers in general. Pocket Police currently in the cabinet!
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Very nice however I do like the final sentence
You can now use a Revolver that will more than challenge your marksmanship abilities

When I was writing the rules for "historic arms" (Trafalgar Meeting etc) I made sure that I added a match for Vest Pocket Revolver so people could justify a "slot" on their FAC

In similar vein, does anyone remember the (I think) .17 calibre BB revolvers that used to be advertised in the back pages of Field & Stream and similar publications?
They looked like a longish barrel "Peacemaker" and I cannot remember what they were charged with.
I coveted one greatly (I was about 11 years old) in the late 1950's.
