J Frame? Well....

The S&W Model 36 heavy barrel 3 inch was my duty revolver in Air Force OSI in the 70's. It replaced our Model 15's which were difficult for some of our smaller framed agents to conceal. It was a good shooter and easy to carry on long protection details but we shot them a lot and military service loads were wearing them out. They were eventually replaced with a subcompact 1911. I added one to my duty gun collection about 5 years ago and get a blast of nostalgia every time I pick it up. I would still feel well armed if I got the urge to carry it as my EDC.

I've recently transitioned from pistol to revolver but still have a bit of the more capacity bug. My current EDC is a 3" SS .327 Fed Mag SP101 6-shot. For next year's handgun purchase I'm debating between the 7 shot GP100 .357, 8 shot Redhawk .357 and the SRH Alaskan which is "only" 6 shots again but is .44 Mag. Right now I'm favoring the two Redhawk contenders at maybe a 40/40/20 split with maybe a slight lean to the 8 shot Redhawk. Maybe it's 41/39/20.

One of, if not the best, looking of any snubbie. The sights are what all guns should have. But too light. An advantage when the "pocket" is the cargo pocket of Tru-Spec pants. I know I shouldn't, but I'm seriously considering either a 2.75" Redhawk .357 or the 2.5" Super Redhawk Alaskan .44 as next year's handgun pick and it would be pocket carry in the cargo pocket also.

I cannot conceive of carrying anything that big/heavy in any pocket (or a pocket big enough to even hold one). I’ve carried a 69 Smith and a 4 5/8’ SBH concealed, but certainly NOT in a pocket

It ain't for the faint of heart. But it weighs the same weather in my cargo pocket or a belt holster. If I ever somehow decide OC is really a thing then maybe in a holster, but I like the anonymity of my cargo pocket.
