I would say that the current market indicates that guns meant for conceal carry are what's selling. I can't remember where I read it but Smith's J frame is their number one selling revolver, as is Ruger with their LCR. Those two models may be priced less than the new Kimber and Colt but remember that they're aluminum alloy frames and also 5 shot revolvers. The Colt and Kimber are all steel frame and 6 shot. I'd say they are closer to medium sized than small frame too. The Kimber is between a J and SP101 frame in size.
