My daily carry is a .38 Ruger LCR, which has served me well.

During fall/winter/spring months, when I'm in the woods, I realized I could carry something bigger as I'm normally wearing a big coat.

I also have a 4" GP 100, but that is way too heavy to lug around. I know Ruger makes the SP101, which seems to be that company's lighter-weight alternative.

Just wondering what else I should be looking at. When I say "bigger" I mean bigger than a snub - longer barrel, six-shot perhaps, maybe big enough that .357 Mag is an option. (I find .357 Mag in a snub to be unpleasant).
