If you don't mind me asking the same question except make it about .22 magnum.
I have a S&W 351PD that a police Lt. and my CPL instructor both said is very adequate for concealed carry.
I've always been torn about .22 mag being enough but the handgun is so light!!
Any thoughts about what kind of .22 mag shells to buy.
Both of the "pros" who said it was a good cartridge for self-defense said get hollow points.
Thanks for any opinions.
I'm thinking it might be a good gun for concealed carry in the warm months. Of course, up here in Michigan, this lasts for about 2 weeks!!

I'm actually from Michigan and flopshank is still there. He carries, if I remember right, a 629 and a couple of BUGs. My classic MI carry was a Kimber CDP and a couple of BUGs, one of which was actually a BHP.
Anyway, there are .32 and .38 revolvers that weigh essentially the same as your 351 is saving weight is simply your goal.
My experience with .22 Mag handguns was limited to a HS DM101 derringer and an NAA Mini, both of which tended to keyhole. To the extent that I used my NAA as a BUG, I kept it loaded with FMJ rounds.
