Ron, I love all guns, but particularly good Smiths. I chose a .38 simply because it is just enough shorter than a .357 snub that it doesn't peek out of my jeans pocket. I don't think one would notice the difference without something to judge it by objectively.
Really though a hot .357 in an Airweight probably wouldn't be pretty! I have a 2 1/2" 586 that's a pure joy to shoot, but it's just too big to conceal for me.
Jack, I have a Glock 27 (.40 S&W) I bought for concealed, but never did use it really for that. I've shot it twice in the last 8 years. It's the pistol I qualify for concealed carry with every four years. Really great gun, but it prints badly for me.
Pete, I've got a buddy in MN who love his Para. He moved away from my influence here and fell in with the jamamatic crowd.
