    Taurus makes an M380 which is a smaller-than-J-frame size revolver.

    Of course, it's a Taurus. So, y'know. If you want to waste $325 re-learning the lesson everyone else has already learned you're free to do so.

    edit: the one I handled in person was much smaller than the pictures make it look. It's a tiny little thing.

    They did a run years ago but I don't know if they are imported or made here now.

    They shouldn't have chosen .380 because the 5 shot cylinder will be the same diameter as a .38 special one.

    But if a person already has a .380 pistol and no .38's it might make sense.

    I think .32 mag (5-shot) would be the best caliber for a revolver a bit smaller than a jframe/LCR.

    And yea, Taurus quality...

    Yeah most rimfire 22LRs have crappy triggers, even more than a standard J-frame trigger.

    That's also been my experience with .22 revolvers. Maybe a full size revolver like a .22 GP-100 is better?

    Charter Arms used to make a small five shot .38 Spl revolver. I have one in stainless. I don't have a j-frame to compare it to, but it's quite a bit smaller than a Detective Special.
