I love carrying my 4" M-29-2 when quail hunting. It was there for security for my boss and her friends, but if a bird decided to light in a tree and would not come down the CCI 44 shot shell usually inspired them to cooperate. Not exactly sporting, but it would be one more for the grill. I sometimes carried the Ruger Super Blackhawk, but I prefer the more natural feel of the Smith.
