late to the party as well...........
been carrying a "J" frame smith for over 25 years now while off-duty. I see no reason to change and to throw 25 years of practice and muscle memory away since i have been more or less "married" to the snub and pocket carry.
i have entertained thoughts to go to an auto............much like this discussion....entertaining.
Problem is, i have already been accustomed to pocket carry of the snub and years of clothing habits. i am not about to go thru a wardrobe change, costs, and other expendatures this late in the game to conceal a more substantial weapon. Tried that at the start of my career and quickly discovered the benefits of the snub on a poor man's salary vs additional belts, holsters, and dressing around a weapon.
Off course back then, there was no internet, autos were not allowed for duty, and shooting schools/handgun courses and "experts" selling you their dogma were far and few.
carry what you wish......you are the only person you have to please........not everyone can walk a mile in your shoes nor would they probably want to.
