When you say actual experience does that mean that exact model ?
I ask because I just switch this month back to carrying a revolver from a semi-automatic. And while mine may not be quite as heavy as what your thinking about it is never the less a BIG revolver.
I thought I knew what I was getting into,,,Ha ! Little did I know.
I use to carry two guns, 642 up front in the pocket and either a G30 or G39 tucked underneath. My primary believe it or not was my 642 because I simply don't trust semi-automatics, but I carried those Glocks because I have real thing for a .45. And on the flip side do not trust my ability with a .38 because I'm a terrible shot and a leg or arm hit may not be enough to slow the threat down.
But there is simply no better draw in my opinion coming out of the front pocket, I could do in under 1.5 seconds. And safely.
Now lets get back to the subject,
you are in for rude awaking if you try to CCW those guns and it doesn't matter if you get the 2.5 inch barrel. Can it be done, sure, all depends how much you want to spend to make it happen, how much you are willing to compromise.
I thought I had it all figured out, yeah right. I've had to completely change how I dress and I am still trying to find a comfortable spot to carry. And forget about any quick draw I'll be lucky if I even get it out.
Forget about what the gun cost me, I'm now into the hundreds of dollars in what it has cost me just to carry this beast.
I must be crazy,
but I sure like this gun I got.
Good luck.
