I hope this turn into another is 5 enough rant-a-thon.
Lots of folks carry J frames or LCRs as they are convenient. The knowledgeable person acknowledges that they are usually one or two opponent guns and suited for the most likely single or two opponent close up scenario. They acknowledge that it is not optimal for some intense but less likely rampage/terrorist horror show.
We have discussed that quite a bit.
The post I don't want to see is that someone will post that if you carry a snubby you are an idiot as you need more firepower. No, just acknowledge that you understand the risk continuum.
I also don't want to see someone saying that if you carry more, say a more substantial semi and an extra mag or two, you are some kind of Rambo commando nut. Don't go there.
Last, since the smaller guns are acknowledged by experts and some research as harder to shoot, it behooves the carrier to train and practice with the gun. As you should do with anything you carry but snubbies are a little harder to shoot. We've referenced that before.
Here is a nice summary by our Pax of a study by Karl Rehn.

So I do carry a J frame at times. I do train and shoot it. I also shoot a 1911 and various Glocks. I prefer the latter for EDC if convenient. The 1911 is just a tad to big for little ol' me when I've concealed it. I've done it and would if I had to.
J's are a 642 or 432 (this gives me 6 shots).
