What is the difference between a Ladysmith and a Mansmith anyhow? You "wise guys" hold off, no wisecracks.

Long as it doesn't have pink grips, I don't care what you carry.

Honestly, a J-frame, especially in stainless, is a useful carry option. My M36 sees frequent pocket time.

I was issued and carried a 4" Model 28. Mind you this was in uniform not concealed. I got a 6.5" Model 27 hand a Hoyt breakfront made for it (had one for the 28).

You could really notice that extra 2.5 inches. Setting in a patrol car it pushed the butt of the revolver into your rib cage. I like shooting the Model 27 but it sucked as a service revolver.

Carried off something in a shoulder holseter. The barrel length did matter much then.

I've long since been retired, now its a 642 in my pocket. Still shoot both the 28 & 27 but I dont carry them much.
