Agreed! I wouldn't feel right recommending anything I hadn't personally carried or currently carry. Shame on those who do! But unfortunately I think the emboldened in blue is true more times than not...
As to the OP's question; I carry a 3" 629 loaded with .44Special Hard Cast from Underwood with a reload of .44Mag Hard Cast from the same manufacturer. In the woods its all about shot placement so I don't care to carry any kind of Hollow Point(s), just heavy for caliber, "Keith" hard cast pills. The last 6 months my Woods Gun has been pulling double duty and carried on nightly dog walks and around town but with .44Special Gold Dots. I'm a firm believer in carrying what you practice with. I recently got a 3" M29 that's becoming my favorite and fits in the same holster as my M629.
Before January I carried a 4" barreled 625 with .45Super Keith Hard Casts from Buffalo Bore. Proper holster and belt make carrying an "N" frame quite comfortable even on a big guy.
