a s&w 29 or 629 mountain gun fits in that range. put a set of hogues on it and a chest holster and you'll be set for deer, bear or whatever. i wear mine all day and don't even know its there. and with open sites it is accurate even for PA ranges. i carry mine when rifle hunting and have it sitting on my right side when sitting for the offhand shots that would be impossible with a rifle for a right handed guy. 50 yards offhand i can hit a paper plate. well, the first shot anyway.
