My Ruger GP-100 has a better balance to it.
He carried a M-19 in his patrol car trunk in hs later career, and either a Walther PP .380 or a Colt Govt. Model .45 on his person. Often had a Thompson in the trunk of the car.
I met him just once, and he was cordial. He was already suffering from the throat cancer that soon killed him.

That ruger you have is one I wouldn't mind owning. We have a single woman friend who carries just such a gun in her purse a lot. I surprised her with a holster for it. I'm surprised you find it better balanced than an L Frame. That's interesting. Here's her gun...
