YMMV,

I do have a snub model 10 that I do shoot the +Ps in, but the 638 is the ideal carry handgun for me...light weight, snag free and stainless/alloy. The model 10 is nice to carry in a belt holster but not so well in a bluejean pocket. But then, if I am wearing a belt holster, the model 66 snub works better. Just my .02.
