Hi Folks,
I really did not think I would be revisiting this forum noting I have posted nothing since Feb 2016! I am really getting the urge to get one of the above two revolvers and carrying it for EDC. I really like the look of the 2.625" model for its obvious concealabiilty factor but am concerned that it loses over 200 fps compared to its big brother. I live in Missouri where we have open carry, no CCW permit you have to get (unless you go to a different state), no force of law in carrying in most restricted areas, etc. Pretty much a loosy, goosy state as is Kansas where my town Lees Summit borders. What Im trying to get at is the printing aspect can pretty much be ignored especially if you have a CCW which I do both in Missouri and in Virginia (where son lives). I am considering a good cross draw holder for comfortable seating in a car and access. I have the greatest fear in being carjacked in our lovely main city (Kansas City and its high crime rate). I think I would like the 5" for its extra punch and less of a fireball. I have been carrying 5" 1911's and do this comfortably. I have been thinking that a .357 in 125gr at 1500 fps would be a better life taker than my 1911's. I was hoping for your input on this and good recommendation for a cross draw holster. Thanks in advance for all your help!
