Unless you love paying lawyers and dealing with years of hassle, carry but actively try to AVOID using your firearm. If a situation feels "off", get out. Walking away (if it's a viable option) is cheaper than shooting someone. De-escalate wherever possible. Seek to avoid confrontation. Be...
I made the mistake of putting a pair of buffalo horn boot grips on my 340PD the first time I went to the range with it. Two-finger grip + slick stocks + full power .357 loads = no fun at all.
The guy in the lane next to me said "Son, even if you miss, you just might set him on fire with the...
Here's what I was given on another forum:
"Your model 638 shipped in 1989. It is somewhat of an oddball since not very many no dash 638's were made. The 638 was introduced in 1989. It had a 1 7/8" barrel and what was called a clear anodized fuse alloy. It had a 1/10 th inch thick front sight...

Ironically enough, I bought a Superfly for my 340 but I found the extra concealment panel made the set-up too thick. I took off the extra panel (pretty much making it a Nemesis) and it fit my pocket better and still did not print.
Either the Superfly or the Nemesis are decent pocket...
