Other than being thicker, its got a footprint smaller than my full sized 1911. About the same weight too. I don't have any problem carrying my 1911, though I do carry a Glock G26 in the summer and a small PM9 Kahr when wearing my speedos.

This thing is going to be a challenge to carry, and I will. I can also use it for most everything else.

Can’t really go wrong with a Smith and 8 rounds of .357

If it was hammerless it’d be a great coat pocket gun. If you ever needed to fire through the coat, that is.

The most beautiful Smiths are the kit gun variety.

I can see loading it up with snake shot and carrying it in the field. That's what I did with my .38.

I killed 5 rattlesnakes with the pistol. Two with a shovel.

When wearing Speedos I carry a 500 S&W. I carry at 12 o’clock.

Beautiful and I bet it is comfortable too.

I personally would have added two inches to the barrel but I assume you got what you wanted.

Buffalo Bore +P .38 is a very very nice and deadly round.

You could Bob that hammer,
not like you’ll be doing any long range shooting.

Eight shots,
up close and personal.

It’s the Speedo that is making me queasy.

I think that’s exactly what a revolver *should* look like.

And I don’t see “impractical” anywhere on it.

I’m jealous.

I may need to borrow it from you. I lost all my weapons in a hurricane. Damn shame it was.

Ugly? Eye of the beholder. This one comes in 2”,4”, 5”, 6” and in .357, .40S&W, 9mm, with options for additional cylinder purchases with interchangeability for multiple calibers. More options at the site.

I would have added 4 inches to the barrel, but that is my preference.

I hope you find it pleasurable and useful to own.
