The medium frame snubbies always struck me as too big. Compare the height of a M10 with a Colt Det. Spl. Unless you have oversize grips on the Colt it is much easier to conceal, yet still offers six shots of .38.
For the height of a medium frame revolver you could carry an eight shot 1911 that is flatter to boot.
The small frame .38s are good pocket guns. That "thinking man's" M12 is too large for any but a coat pocket.
The medium frame .38s do seem like nearly ideal trail guns though.
