how bout a dan wesson supermag package. 445.

comes with different barrels and you just swap to the short one for concealed and swap to the long one for 200+ yard hunting.  :drool:

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

Ruger LCR .357. My dad had the .38 special and i liked the way it shot. If you do buy it you might want to look into the laser grips.

Or the rhe Ruger SR40 for a semi-auto.

I wouldn't; a carry gun isn't a cordless drill and I think you would soon grow tired of packing (concealed) the bulk and weight.  Pretty soon, you'll start leaving it at home instead of tucking it under your shirt for your trip to the grocery store or wherever.  Handguns are tools; concealed-carry and hunting require two different kinds.  On the other hand, it IS your money so I hope you find whatever works best for you.  :)

Yeah it won't fly out of your hands, but it will pop both your ear drums after one shot :chuckle: I have shot my ported 454, 2 times back to back without hear protection. In one of those oh crap moments. I did not hear for 2 days strait! I thought i had lost my hearing. My fence gun is a ported 357mag and it is very very loud to. :chuckle: Ported guns are great, but hard on the ears.
