While snubbies do have a role, I generally recommend a compact or sub-compact auto for day-to-day concealed-carry. Something like the Glock 26 or 27 is going to be much easier to shoot, has twice the capacity, better sights, much quicker reloads, etc
I agree. My two main carry guns are a Glock 27 and Smith 642. When wearing shorts & t-shirt, the J .38 in an appendix holster just disappears. You can bend over and pick up a dime and no one is the wiser. BUT, when push comes to shove, the Glock 27 is way better a gun.
So in the cooler days, I pack the 27, in the super hot Texas summer, I pack the 642 and the 27 is in the car console.
But if I lived near the Canadian border, where it's cooler, the Glock 27.. or a Glock 19/23/32 is the way to go.
