I live in the mountain west. Normally all I carry unless I'm hunting is my 642 in my pocket. Never felt underguned.
But that wasn't the option. Based on your choice, I have both, a Model 29 and a Model 28 (also have a Model 27).
Of the three I'd take my old service revolver, my Model 28 w/150 grn SWCs and 14.5 grns of 2400.
Killed deer, moose and buffalo with that thing. I've shot it enough to be comfortable with it. It's heavy and wont fit in my pocket so that's why I carry the 642 with the same bullet loaded to standard 38 velocities.
