Sometimes the homely girl is dynamite in the kitchen and in the bedroom. (Or so I have been told)
And we are talking CONCEALED carry here. No one is supposed to see the damned thing.
It's kinda like your mama's advice to always wear clean underwear in case you're in an accident. Do you really want them finding an LCR on you after you get hit by a bus???
Ha! Guess it does not matter too much to me. For CCW it's a choice between a 657, an LCR, a four inch SP 101, or one of several 4 5/8" Ruger single actions.
The 657 is damned purty, but not very concealable.
