Wow .... lots of good advice here. Part of the fun of a hobby is also how different things work for different folks.

I have a M60, a Colt Cobra and a Ruger LCR. The LCR gets carried the most. Why? Lighter weight, shrouded hammer, fiber optic front site. Mine is a 38 Special but they're available in 357, 9MM, 22LR and 22 Mag too if you look in that direction.
