a centennial airweight is the perfect pocket gun for most temperatures, having your hand on the butt with 5 rounds of 158gr+p available is quite comforting to have downtown. In the woods, a 4" 686 or a 6" taurus 44 open carried IMO is enough to get away from a cougar or a blackbear if needed. On occasion I IWB carry my M&P compact, but only in big jacket weather, the little J-frame is still there, and is probably all that would be needed for most social situations though.
