For a long time I put off trying a J-frame in the pocket. After I did, it's all I did. I don't anymore.
I stopped because ;
A) Revolver reloads are a pain to carry around. Sometimes they even come apart if you toss them in your pocket.
B) Reloading a J frame (small cylinder) vs. a larger cylinder is pretty difficult even under no stress.
C) I can hit what I need to with it out to 25 yards. No bullseye but deadly. However, that's no reason to carry and train for an inferior weapon (yes, I said it) when you can reload more reliably, hit more reliably, and still be in a package not much bigger than a J-frame.
Set a J-frame sized revolver next to a G26 or M&P9c. The physical size difference may rule out pocket carry, but it does not rule out comfortable and still very well hidden carry.
I voted no because I no longer do. It might make a great back up gun, but that's all it is.
