I used to have a S&W Model 60 and traded it for a Model 342. Though I liked the 60 it didn't really work well in a pocket holster with the weight and exposed hammer. The 342 is perfect for that, I load it with .38 +P and carry it in a Desantis pocket holster. The light weight is a huge plus and I feel comfortable carrying it at times when my attire doesn't allow me to carry my usual Glock 30SF in a IWB holster.
