jmortimer, the only reason I would go that route would be if I had a known, imminent threat. In such a case (woman with stalker, for example), yes, have something simple - but get training ASAP.
In such an extreme case, I would go the 3" round butt K-frame or SP101 with .38s route, for simplicity of operation and shooting characteristics.
In non-emergency cases, spending a little time up front pays dividends.
