My S&W Model 19 .357 is my favorite gun to shoot... and it would be my first choice if I had to choose! (Now why would I have to choose?)
My Dad bought it for me for my 21st birthday.
He also recently bought for me a smaller carry gun, a little snubby S&W Airweight .38. It packs a wallup also, and is much easier to pack around.
Has anyone posted links to some of the neat concealed-carry purses now available? I haven't found the exact one that I carry, but there are many like it available. The gun fits in a padded pocket in the purse, accessible from the outside like those below, and anyone who opened and felt around in the the purse would never guess there was a gun inside, especially with S&W Airweight in it. Heh. You couldn't feel my Model 19 in there either, but my purse was curiously heavy for the contents then! ;~D
Here are a few of the sites that carry purses.
