I like the hamerless design. Great for sweatshirt front pocket carry, never even have to take it out!

One thing that is worth while for the $70 or so it costs, send it through the S&W performance center. My father in law did this with his j-frame. What a difference in the trigger, so smooth afterward. I actually went on a full manufacturing tour of the S&W facility about an hour and a half from me, REALLY cool!
 
Yeah hammerless is awesome. I have a pocket holser and wear regular Dickie brand shorts and it just looks like a cell phone or keys. The pink grip doesn't give it away either, haha.

Glenn is just mad he couldn't afford the lighter and easiely concealable gun so he went with the bulkier and stainless steel version. :D
 
I love guns! I have a Taurus PT99 with a 30 round clip. A 44 Mag, an AK74, Glock 40 cal and about 6 rifles and hotguns. My Sons and I go shooting every week.
