I have a Mod 49 for my anytime gun. Even though it's all steel, I don't notice the weight in my pocket. .38+P is the carry load, and I practice with standard loads, at 10 yd. Right now, I still have some 125gr Nyclad +P in it, but will reload with Gold Dot 125gr +P when I shoot it next.
Get it; that's a good deal. As long as you give it the practice a snub requires, you can't go wrong.
