+1 on mod 1917. For CC, Detective Special is a great balance of size and power, but there are many, many options in .38 sp.
If you are tall enough a Bianchi X15 will carry a 6/6.5" L/N frame. I do that with a M686+ and it's target trigger is smoother than my Performance Center 327 TRR8. This time of year it's an easier draw than an IWB/OWB under heavy outer clothing IMO.so yall think a .357 mag out of a 6" or so barrel would be a bit over my preferences?
I think the 44Special may be more of a John Wayne pistol.
Bigger framed,
I just figured the 6 inch might be more controllable and have less muzzle flip. Wouldn't it?Blued Revolver, why are you leaning towards a 6"?
4" are still accurate with very respectable velocity, and can be holstered and carried on a belt easier.
If you intend to shoot any IDPA or USPSA, 6" would be off limits. 4.2" is the max length for IDPA and it is legal in USPSA too.
I think 4" is the ideal length, if you couldn't tell.
