I would eventually like to own one of these guns for concealed carry. (My current budget doesn't allow both of them). I really like the look of a chiefs' special model 60, the stainless version, with the original grips.
On the other hand, I have never really felt comfortable with just 5 rounds in the gun. For some reason, that 6th round in the detective makes me feel much better. I think 6 is enough to deal with 2 to 3 attackers and be able to put multiple rounds in the bad guy(s). But I am wondering if the detective is signifigantly less concealable than the chief because of that.
Also I really want a stainless. Did they ever make a detective in stainless?
I have a Taurus 85 now, which I think is modeled on the chief, so I can use that as a reference.
Unfortunately where I am now carrying in public is totally forbidden but I'm planning for when I make it back to good ol' Virginia.
EDIT: I was also wondering about +P in these guns. Thanks.
