That and maybe going to a smaller/lighter frame pistol. I know a J frame .38 isn't exactly your cup-o-tea, but better something than harsh words. AND I know you are knowledgeable enough to pick good ammo for what ever you are packing.
I actually have a permanent indentation where I carry that little Smith which was where I carried the Colt Cobra before the SS Smiths came along. Just a tad past 90 degrees to the umbilicus with a forward cant keeps it pretty well hidden under any shirt that ain't form fitting.
