I bought a Smith and Wesson 329PD about 4 or 5 years ago. I carry it at all times while archery hunting in Colorado although I have never needed it. I have a soft holster that I carry on my belt and my pack doesn't rub on it. The gun is so light that I hardly know it is there. I had a buddy load some slightly lower power 44 mags for it. For target, I shoot 44 specials.
