What holster do you use? I’d like to be able to carry my 327 more often, but I’m still looking for a good holster. I did find a Tagua 4 in 1 that works ok, but not ideal.
What 357 or 38 S&W revolver would you carry for a pocket gun concealed?

340 PD or or a nickel M37 vintage 1975. Both ride in Mika Pocket Holsters.

I pocket carry a 340PD every minute of the day...in front jeans pocket..Speedloader on belt, speed strip in offside front pocket. 357 gold dots or buffalo bore hardcast. If you get a AirLite and carry 357 be sure to check your choice of carry rounds for crimp jump. And be nice to the titanium when cleaning.
For my tastes there is nothing close in firepower and ease of carry. These Airlites in 357 require practice, and pain but are not range toys, I bought a second one just for range abuse and the other is just for the pocket now that it's been vetted.

I'm with the 340 PD folks. Only a little over 11 ounces empty...when loaded with .357 Magnum 135 gr Speer Gold Dot short barrel rounds and with its Galco horsehide pocket holster, right at 16 ounces. Melts into your front pants pocket, and because it is so on obtrusive, you are more likely to actually carry it. I have a lot of choices, and this is the one I am most likely to have at any given time.
There are lots of choices out there, but as noted above, the Centennial style revolver is snag free, and sealed against pocket lint in the internals.

I do carry a 360J. I also have a 640 and a 642 that I carry occasionally. Usually in a Mika pocket holster.
The 640 is the best shooter for me, because it’s the heaviest. Then the 360J and finally the 642, it’s the newest and has been shot the least.

I have a mod 36 and a mod 38.....
...but I think that the Ladysmith is a fine piece of work for a carry gun.

I just use the standard Uncle Mikes #4. It's a bit small but works fine.

J frame Model 36-7 works well for me.
Two carry pistols for me.
Aluminum frame 637-2 with 9mm titanium cylinder to reduce weight.
(I like external hammers and single action)
Altamont Rosewood grips
Ammo Win 9mm 147gr JHP
(will also chamber .38+P & .357 Mag)
OWB Tom Three Persons open toe hammer thong
Pocket Desantis Nemesis
Kimber aluminum frame Micro 9 with modified Sig P290 8-round magazine.
IWB & Pocket carry Uzula #938
Significantly smaller than the 637-2, but a lot heavier.
Crimson Trace faux Rosewood grips
Also 9 rounds vs 5 in the J-frame
Ammo Win 9mm 147gr JHP

Any of the airweight internal hammer models will fill your need here . . .

I suggest the Ruger sp101 model number 5720 Chambered in .357 magnum .225 inch barrel just light enough to be carried by not so light weight that it would hurts my hands when I would fire it.

If carrying in pants pocket, I carry a 642, in a holster.
If carrying in a coat/jacket pocket, I carry a 640.
I will admit that when carrying in a coat/jacket pocket this is the one time I generally do not use a holster, having said that I rarely carry this way, as I rarely wear a coat/jacket.
