in-car revolver What's a good .38 or .357 revolver to live in a car? Picking a revolver because:
1. they go bang
2. bang hurts like hell on the wrong end
3. no hot shells flying out
I'll still have my CCW so let's leave that out
I'm most worried about the gunpowder blow-back and one-handed shot recoil. Get-away driving is easy, unless you have pirate vision with no depth perception and half of your field of vision is darkness.

I wouldn't worry about the casings (if you're drawing, you're defending your life, at least I hope, that should be the least of your worries). Maybe it's just me, but I don't find the casings "that" hot, to each their own.
No CHL required to CONCEAL from plain view a loaded handgun (and use in mortal defense) in TX, CHL applies only if carrying on your body.
If you want extra capacity, and maybe an easier shooter (subjective), here's a couple ideas:

I have a pt92 9mm taurus that I have had for like 5 years. I have put hundreads of rounds through it and it has never jammed. I even have a 30 round clip for it and haven't had a problem with that either.

I'm liking the Taurus Judge! Nothing says 
like a rock salt .410 to the face then a hollow point .45 in the chest...and not overly dangerous for bystanders either. Necessity>overkill
Hammerless S&W also cool. That could prove useful since I'm going to build a holster into the seat by the seatbelt release. "Take my car, just let me undo my seatbelt..... kaboom!" How do you decock a hammerless?
As far as revolver vs SA, hot shells aren't too bad on skin but can leave a mark on car. If I need to pull my SA, so be it. Besides, 2 well placed shots beat 9 bad shots. And IMHO anyone that can't finish the job in 5 shots shouldn't have a gun.
