I like my S&W Model 49 Bodyguard for a backup and off-duty carry. In the winter whne we're all wearing more clothes I'll strap on my Glock 26 or even the 19, but in the summer I have to go with the ankle carry option the and Model 49 is more suitable than the G26 for that carry configuration.
Some folks say that the 38 special is inadequate, but I disagree. It's taken down many a bad guy (and good guy) over the past 100 years and still will if the shooter does his or her part.
I think the 327 magnum was a solution looking for a problem by the way. But I thought the 40 S&W was going to be a flah in the pan when it was introduced in 1990. You can see how accurate that prediction was.
