I currently carry a Glock model 30 .45 acp for my primary weapon. My back up is a Kahr .380 which rides in my front support hand pocket. I prefer pocket carry for a back up. I cant pocket a Glock 26/27 because the entrie gun is fat. I can however pocket a Smith and Wesson model 60 Lady Smith.
There have been many dog attacks in my area. I jog often and this is a concern. A neighbor who was carrying a 40 caliber was bitten in his right hand. He couldnt get to his gun with his weak hand quick enough. I dont want to be this guy. I also have coyotes, raccons, and there is a nearby lower end zoo that sometimes see escapes of their wild life.
What are the dimensions of the S&W 296?Is the S&W 296 the smallest .44 special revolver out there? Is it smaller than the Charter Arms bull dog? How does the ballistics compare to a .40 caliber pistol and .357 mag? Figure this would also work better on two legged bad guys.
I am also looking at the 8 shot 627 snub. What are the dimensions? Is it larger than the 296?
Is the Model 60LS Lady Smith an L Frame? I can pocket one of these fine. Is it smaller than the 296? I have a friend who has one and tryed it out.
Product: Model 60LS
Would a J frame .38 sepcial give me better ballistics on an attacking dog/ animal than a .380? This is my last choice if the othe two are huge. I might try a J frame and if it works get a M&P 340 and load it with magnums.
Finally, how much better are ballistics from a 2 inch .357 mag such as ahte 340pd?
