OK I'm kinda jealous of the Service Six. What size barrel does it have?

It's the standard 4 inch barrel, blued finish. It's one of a batch made for security guards, so it's in .38 Special instead of .357 Magnum. Which means I can feed as many +P rounds through it as I want, and never wear it out. Has some holster wear, but it sure shoots nice.

I now carry a 12-shot Taurus G2c, OWB. The original trigger was not so good, so I replaced it with an aftermarket unit. I know, it's a Taurus, that means it will FTF or FTE every other shot, right? Except that it doesn't, it has digested everything I've put through it. Prior to that, for many years I had a Ruger SR9c, it was also very reliable, but the trigger pins were starting to work loose after quite a few rounds through it. My nightstand pistol is a full-size Glock 17 Gen 5. I seem to shoot striker-fired pistols pretty well, so I'm sticking with them.
