For me S&W, j-frame Model 36 Chiefs Special. I can shoot and reload fairly quickly. I is small. It is mot accurate than I am and RELIABLE!
I love my model 38. When I carry it I have some JHP ammo from Buffalo Bore. Many moons ago I had a Colt Cobra with the light weight frame and hammer shroud. Loved that one as well and thinking about looking at the one for sale on armslist and hoosier topics.For a comfortable EDC I would recommend a Colt Detective Special, Cobra or Agent. The Colts are small and handy but still carry 6 rounds. The S&W J Frames, Model 36, 60, etc, are a little smaller but still good options, although they only carry 5 rounds. I often carry my Colt Det Special and feel adequately armed with 6 rounds of .38 Special +P.
Thanks for the suggestions. I do have a few wheel guns a S&W model 10 (4in), Dan Wesson 15 (8in & 4in), and a ported Taurus 44mag in a (3in). As you can see I do have a few, but none that are ideal for a summer CC like a snub nose.
For a small .357, I suggest the SP101.
For 38spl, I carry a S&W 442 for a pocket carry gun.
J frames (442) are airweight style, 38 spec is good for pocket carry, or holster. You can install a "hip grip" and not use a holster at all. Hammerless is also a great option. Eliminates snagging on draw. Yes, do practice a bit before carrying, as shooting them is not like a Glock, or 1911A. I do carry a 5 shot speedloader in my off carry pocket. You can still find Colts if you look hard enough. Good Luck.
