I guess I don't much agree. I've carried mine concealed ever since I bought it new (I'm fairly large, 6'3" & 220, but certainly not the size of an NFL lineman.) I carry mine year round and rarely under a jacket. In the summer it conceals easily under a cotton t-shirt. I only carry it IWB in either a Sparks VM2 or a Concealco. Otherwise it prints pretty bad. The weight doesn't bother me either although I have to admit I sometimes carry my 396NG in the same holsters. I don't carry it in the woods at all. There, I either have an N frame (round or square), a .22, or my favorite, a 4" Ruger Redhawk in .45 Colt. (I got lucky - it came with a trigger smooth as butter.)
The right grips and holsters make all the difference in CCW.
