[QUOTE="TurboSixPiston, post: 2191479, member: 11400"] 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 [I]may[/I] rule out pocket carry, but it does [I]not[/I] 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. [/QUOTE]
