With good leather like my Galco High Rise or a Milt Sparks Versa Max I can comfortably carry anything if I have a belt. If I dont, like wearing scrubs, I just put an LCP in a Fobus and go.
Is 2 1/2" .357 Python too much snubbie?

I don't know ware Twangtown is but, around her that Python would be worth too much money to carry. That thing is beautiful. One came in are Shop like that and the Owner of the Shop offered $1000. After the guy left the Owner tells me that it was worth Two maybe Three times that much.
Birddog,
It's a bright stainless Python with Hogue grips. The "goodyears" that came on this vintage, 1980, or so, have no soul.
Haywood,
Twangtown = Nashville, Tn.
I don't carry that one, daily, but for special occasions, it's a close to a "barbeque" gun, as I get.
Here's the one that, except for maintenance and brief fondling, doesn't leave the safe:
Unmolested and factory fired, only, it came with box n' docs, including the test target, signed and dated in 1970.

Felt recoil is a function of both shorter barrels and/or lighter weight. The Python is a stout gun so it helps in the recoil department. Not bad to shoot at all.
PLUS . . .
Keep in mind that if you ever have to use the gun to save your life, you will NOT feel the recoil at all. Same with when deer hunting.
The most popular little 2 1/2" .357 Magnum that cops could afford back "in the day" were the S&W K-frames Model 19 (in blue or nickel) and the Model 66 if in stainless steel. These are smaller and lighter guns than the Python and they are fun to shoot . . . just grip the revolver properly (high grip) and you are quite good to go!
Here's a nickel Model 19 2 1/2 . . . an affordable classic in its own right, though not as stunning as a Python. This one was made in 1984, the first year of the -5 series . . .
