William, Maybe we're old school and we need the heavier iron to realize we're holding a gun. Maybe it just doesn't feel right in our hands. I'm not fond of the smaller snubnose revolvers nor do I own any yet. My gun savy starts at the 5"/6"/6 1/2" barrels that's my hitch. The longer barrel bigger super sized s&w & redhawks attracts me like a magnet to steel. My ruger police service six is nothing but ccw carry with its 2 3/4" barrel. It's my only belly buster as the old timers called the snubnose revolvers at one time. To me an ankle gun would be a cz 50 or a cz 70. It's backup not a front line defense piece. A first line defence is a n framed magnum of course.

The bottom line is we all can't like the same woman right? We all can't like one food? So we all can't like the same guns.

I once could drop an n frame in my pocket with to bother. Nowadays I need suspenders.

Isn't this the need for a plastic gun because of its light weight?
