The gun I'd carry all the time if I didn't have lower back trouble is a pre-agreement Smith & Wesson model 629 with a three-inch barrel. I had the barrel ported and crowned by Magnaport and the finish bead-blasted and the hammer and trigger jeweled, the unfluted cylinder engraved, and the stocks replaced with Nill's. It's not quite a barbecue gun, but pretty enough; unfortunately, even with the snubbed barrel, it weighs quite a bit more than my model 60. It's a very straight shooter, albeit loud. Recoil, to my considerable surprise, is slightly more noticeable than in six-inch models with the same porting.
