Of course, if that's actually an option. For belt carry, or IWB, it certainly is. For pocket carry, it probably isn't. Obviously, you should have one of each. I say that in jest; I don't utilize one of each. Like a lot of folks, my J frames are mostly 2" (I do own a 36-6, but never carry it), and when I go to belt carry, I carry something a little more substantial, like my 2" model 15. But maybe that doesn't count, because it seems to be as accurate as a 4", and very easy to shoot. Nevertheless, note that I am not sweating a few fps of bullet velocity, and concern myself more with my ability to direct the bullet.
Anyway, if you can carry a 3", and it shoots as well or better than a 2", it is obviously a better choice for you.
