If you don't see one in your area you may have better luck finding a 617 (same gun in .357). Before buying one I would definately want to compare it side to side with a regular 5 shot small frame snub and with a K-frame (or equivelent) snub.
I have a 605 (2" small framed .357) and I did compare it to the 617 at the shop. The 617 being a 7 shot instead of 5 has a much bigger cylinder. Because of the cylinder it really isn't any more concealable than a 2" or 3" K-frame and I'd rather have the extra weight for more controllability in a defensive handgun than the extra round myself. If you want the extra concealability of the small frame go with the five shot 85, it will be much smaller for better concealability, especially if you want to carry it in your pocket. If you want something different it may be a good purchase, well that is why I'll eventually get a 617 or 817, but for carry/home defense I think a 5 shot small frame revolver or a 2" or 3" K-frame would be a better alternative.
