General rule around here......... get both!

For urban suburban concealed carry I tend to carry a "smaller" compact auto..... like a S&W 3913 or 6906 both have served me well since the early 90s.

At the cabin or out in Penn's Woods I tend to carry a .357..... generally a 3" 66 or 60-10.

All that said .................

IMO the most versatile utility/duty/ general purpose revolver is a 4" 686.....
.38 wadcutters , and shot shells to full bore .357 stainless for ease of care...... K-frame grip and trigger reach;N-frame strength. Can be carried concealed if needed.

Someone made a good point a while back................. a golfer doesn't golf with just one club...... there is no one handgun that will be "the best" for everything either.
