I routinely carried my Model 38 as a back-up during my 30 yr. LEO days. In reitrement my orbits are very tame and I only carry one J frame w/a speed strip. The only exception is on a car road trip w/the wife. In those instances a second J frame is carried in the car in case she should need it (she can handle a revolver but refuses to carry).
