With a good belt and IWB holster I can carry a 2.5" Model 66 or Model 686 all day long, AND I can also shoot a Model 66 to 686 for 100 rounds or so of .357 Magnum without my hand feeling like it's been hammered on by an angry black smith.
I can't do that with even my steel frame 2 1/8" and 3" Model 60s, let alone a scandium J frame.
