As I posted about this in another sub forum, my present EDC is an S & W model 940-1. It is carried in a Bianchi 9R upside down shoulder holster. I like the extra weight for taming the Hornady Critical Duty 135 grain flex lock load. The 940 is the smoothest Jframe I have. Although I wouldn't mind owning Ruger LCR in 9mm I think is would be a little light with those loads. Follow up shots are a little easier because of the weight. The weight is managed by the holster. Presentation is not as fast as other methods, but if I am situationally that unaware, I'm losing anyway. Planning on shooting and retreating for cover ASAP. I guess I'll lose to multiple assailants so weapon choice load carry method won't matter much. I carry a couple of moonclips, but basically I'm 5 and done
