Maybe, but I can't shoot my G19 thru a pocket or most likely contact shots, at least not after the first one. Sometimes even G43 can be a bit too big, a small wheelgun just kind of disappears in a pocket. At least my sub 12oz 340PD does.Originally Posted by Univibe

No love for the Ruger LCR?
The only time I carry it (LCR 357) is when fishing, but it has served me well.

While all this may be true enough it has nothing to do with the opening post.

I have one that I bought when I sold my Hillary Hole smiths. I missed having a snub so I got a great price on a .38 special LCR with the gold cylinder. Then scored one in .22 to practice with. If someone wanted an easy choice I think the LCR is great. Good trigger, better sights and a fantastic grip. I don't like that as long as it's been out there's still not a great aftermarket. I've been waiting for VZ to come out with a grip since I bought it. They finally got the SP101, so I didn't think it would be too far down the road. For me personally I think the J-frames just are a bit easier to hide and I like the shape a little better. With that in mind I don't ever feel undergunned with the LCR. Mine is a designated for a specific emergency spot. Load it and a couple speed loaders and you can leave it alone for a long while.

Hard to beat the 642-1 for those "shoot through your pocket" events.

Got it. Now back on topic.

New model Colt King Cobra 3 inch for me.
Like my LCR .327 but I'm trying not to carry it. I like it alot but now that I reload I'm finding .38 Special from a steel gun has a wider range of capabilities with less recoil than a lightweight. 327. Plus, with its steel frame, smoother trigger, and longer sight radius I shoot the Colt better.

When I first applied and obtained my CPL I knew I was going to conceal carry a Model 38 S&W. I think my choice started with the iconic 1968 Eddie Adams Saigon photo during Vietnam. It is light, has a shrouded hammer, still can be shot single or double action… plus I was able to shoot it well. I bought this (shipped: Oct. 1972) M38 in 1973 and have carried it for 45+ years.
The ‘inexpensive’ knife is very useful, but if lost or stolen would not cause regret/heartburn VS a $400+ Microtech.

Adams said later that Gen. Loan killed the VC, but he (Eddie) killed the general with his camera. He regretted taking the picture.
I bought the same gun in honor of Gen. Loan.
