Default RE: .357 Mag. for concealed carry

When OH gets their requirements and training ironed out, they just passed the CCW law three weeks to a month ago, I'll be getting my CCW.

I will carry a S&W Model 661 4" barrel. I ahven't figured out what load I will use yet.

One thiing about carrying a large revolver, is that you want it to be inconspicuous. You do not want someone to see that you are carrying. For me, that is not a problem as I am 6'6" tall and weigh 320 pounds (soon to be 265 when I finish losing all of my weight after surgery). I ahve a large torso/frame and can carry a large handgun withut it showing. If you are a small guy, then you might have a problem unless you go with a 2"-2 1/2" barrel. I prefer the 4" barrel for more accuracy and I can take it hunting as well.
