At 32 ozs that revolver is just too heavy for a ccw gun, Like the one in the picture. It weighs as much as a 1911. No matter what your taste, there is a point of diminishing returns. The 110-14 oz j frames have a distinct advantage in weight and concealability. And you can shoot the 357 if you are willing and able. No matter how disturbing the recoil, when your life is on the line, it won't be fealt much at all. Also you may put a 38+p in for the first round and a 357 in for your follow up shot, "allowing you to get back on target fast".
