Yes , it is possable to conceal a N Frame, and there are people who do that. But it will require markedly more care in selection of carry gear and clothing . Another factoid is that a 2.75in .44mag , even with a K frame RB conversion is longer , wider , and heavier than a Four in K frame Sq Butt.

This is a subjective preference , but unless your daily threat profile skews heavily to large dangerous animals, the default rational choice would be the M65 .
