Anyone of these below will do fine if YOU can shoot.
All are tested and shoot right on the money. Deaf

Carry both...
J-frame and k-frame with no problem from my end.
The K was mostly hiking ( also include in this a .357MAG Ruger SS6) never felt conspicuous. Try it, you'll like. |

That's a good point. A medium or large frame revolver in a glove box is concealed but still easily accessed. |

For me, not at all. I'm not a big guy at all and I carry a GP100 during the winter. Mainly because I'm wearing something will comfortably conceal it. Now could I CC my 629 w/ 6" barrel and 2x Nikon.......... maybe in a backpack or briefcase. To this day my grandfather swears by his Model 19. I've seen that old man on more than one occasion put a full cylinder in 8" circle at 50yds with one hand, granted he only has the use of one hand. For me at least, he has redefined the definition of trigger control.

If I wear a Golf shirt or something like it during the warmer months I will carry my GP100 4 " in a inside the belt holster. If not I carry my 2 inch Rossi 357 quite easily.

Before my recent move back to the People's Republic of Maryland, I often carried a S&W Mountain Gun in .41 Magnum. I never had a problem.

If you want to dress around it, there is simply no good reason not to carry a large revolver.

If you are fortunate enough to be able to read the gun magazines from the 50s on, up through the 80s, you will find many articles talking about concealing autos vs. revolvers. You can find them still today, but no where near the frequency of decades past when revolvers were the main choice.
And an interesting thing you can find in these kinds of articles, both the "obsolete" clothing, (and criteria) and the fact that barrel length was not the biggest factor. For a revolver, it was (and still is) the cylinder. For autopistols, its the butt. And what concealed easily under the looser styles of the past doesn't do as well with form fitting attire. Not sure how well "obsolete" fits, but by the numbers, revolvers aren't as popular as they once were. And while I'm about as far from fashion aware as you can get, even I know that today's suits aren't cut like the ones from the 1930s. Fit your gun to your wardrobe, or fit you wardrobe to your gun, I don't really see another option..

Looking at photographs of people in the 1930s, they seem to be wearing a lot more clothing and the clothing seems baggier than today's styles.

A 2-1/2" model 19 will carry as well as a Glock 19, maybe better.
