Some great info here, thanks.
My main CCW for now is a SW Airweight 442 in .38 spl. Just looking for a similar CCW with more of a bang, so to speak. My Airweight is not setup for +P ammo, as it is an older model. I think a snubbie .357 fits the bill, with 5 rounds, hammerless, nice and concealable.
Not worried too much about recoil issues, just reliability and concealability. Plan to target shoot .38, and carry .357 for self defense.
Like the Ruger sp101, and M&P 340, dont want to go too much bigger. Maybe a Taurus?
