Any of the little J frames works fine for me, though for deep pocket carry I prefer a "Lightweight" type (aluminum frame). Put it in a good pocket holster, toss it in the pocket and you'll almost forget it is there!
Right now, mine is a Model 37 . . . and only because a pristine 1971 specimen that only sat in a drawer in a nightstand for 35 years came up for sale.
I concur too about winter time. In a good belt holster (hip or IWB), I step up to a K-frame 6-shooter, a Model 65-3 with a 3" barrel in .357 magnum.
The 3" barrel allows Smith to use a full length ejector rod, for more dependable ejection of spent cartridges. The extra barrel length allows accuracy virtually on par with the 4" versions too.
