I was a Police Officer in the 14th largest city in the US for 33 years until my retirement in 2018. For a whole bunch of that time I carried an S&W 649 as a back up and off duty gun. When I retired, I bought an S&W 642 Airweight snubby because it's much lighter. I still find myself carrying my Glock 43 9mm with an 8 round mag in my pocket about 95% of the time. Just as easy to conceal, and way faster to reload. A snubby can sure save your life. This day and age a small powerful auto just feels like a better choice for my needs.
