Regarding size of the weapon and todays choices for CCW, I fail to see how a 2.5-3" bsrreled SP101 or K frame, as somewhat reassonable examples of a .357, are going to be easier to conceal than a Glock 29. The J-frame guns CAN be lighter, and smaller, but they are not usually fully capable fighting guns (they either don't handle well, people have a hard time performing well with them, and others just dump them because they want a more controllable gun with less pain). Tjhe G29 does not jump out of my hand, does not cause pain, is accurate as hell, and holds 11 rounds. No .357 in a smaller package compares to that.
