In thinking about a gun for home defense more than for concealed carry (though I guess this question applies in either case) I'm considering a 4" Model 686 as something that my wife could handle more reliably in a stressful situation. I'm also interested in a 686 SSR for myself for competition in service class. It'd be nice to cover both functions with a single gun, but if it ever came down to having to use either in a crisis would there be any more of the inevitable legal entanglements having used a more specialized gun like the SSR as opposed to a stock, plain jane 686? I'm just imagining some over zealous attorney trying to use that choice of weapon against me or my wife should the situation present itself.
Is that a realistic concern or would it really matter in the long run? It's hard to know where the line between pragmatism and paranoia lies.
