That 19 snub is very concealable in an owb holster covered by a vest or short jacket. Shoot it single action at a 100 yard target and then try the same thing with a Glock 19. That S&W will draw quick from concealment and fire a fight stopping cartridge where you are looking. You can load iit with 38 wadcutters for plinking. You can practice with it while the auto guys are practicing malfunction drills. Autos just encourage spray and pray. A good revolver encourages marksmanship. You can change the grips to whatever fits your hand. I like it the way it is. Speed loaders are cheaper than magazines and much more durable. Plus, chicks get turned on by cartridges in loops. Put Winchester Silvertips in loops and they will think you are the Lone Ranger. HIYO SILVER, AWAY.
