As Clang also mentioned in post 4, the hammer question is a can of worms, and purely a personal choice. As for the hammer on my 637 "hanging up" on something, it ain't never happened. Even when pocket carrying, it's in a holster and when drawn, my thumb/hand shrouds it. I prefer to have the choice to shoot DA or SA and to uncock the SA action easily and safely. No different than my other carry, the 1911. Also as others have said, while the steel framed revolvers are a tad more pleasant to shoot, the little snubbies are not really meant to be a range toy. The difference in weight when toting around all day between them and the alloy frames can be quite noticeable.
