I'm kinda a parshal to 'em myself...The 3 1/2 inch 357 was my first really serious Smith and we've been
doin business together for over forty years. I always thought of it as the best snub nose to come down the pike.
You could carry it holstered up on yer hip or even carry it mexican style jest stuck in yer belt under a shirt or jacket.
Yep, the three and a half inch N frame suits me just fine.
And when the bore get's bigger they jest keep gettin better and better
