Absolutely would suit you (S&W makes an excellent firearm despite their managerial confusion).
It is wonderfully lightweight, awesomely reliable, it's pretty and it protects you. Compare weights with the .357 snubby(s) S&W offers. You can shoot .38s out of them, too, and they're a tad more rugged.
Hi,LJ! Did you meet my feller?? Watch out...he knows all about you... (evil grin)
