Sir, for concealed carry around town, the only advantage the N-frame has over a good 1911 is the ability to run heavy loads or bullet shapes that won't feed well in an auto. Out in the boonies, brass retrieval is easier with the sixgun. Beyond that, it's just a matter of preference.

FWIW, my carry gun is a 1911. My N-frames are mainly woods guns.

Hope this helps, and Semper Fi.
