I'm seriously considering selling my Ruger .357 3" SP-101 and getting one of the S&W Scandium snubnose .357 12 ouch lightweights. Either the 340-342 (what's the difference between these two models other than the grips?) or a 360. I like the idea of having a hammer, as I like to fire single action for accuracy, (you need that with only five shots ) but it really seriously can get snagged pulling it out of a coat pocket quickly.
The main reason is for concealed carry. I don't like the idea of trading off the extra barrel length, but for coat pocket carry and for the decreased weight/size it makes sense to me. Although I heard in another thread about problems with the S&W trigger catching on the back of the trigger guard on some models.
The Ruger has been a good gun so far in the 200 or so rounds I've put through it, but it is also quite heavy especially in stainless steel.
I don't like IWB carry for revolvers so that's out. Does anybody think I will regret this later?
