I carry the S&W Model 60. It's definitely a reliable gun and the size makes it perfect for pocket-carry. During the summer, I keep it my front pocket and in the winter it fits perfectly in a coat pocket (in the chest when driving or in a "belly" pocket).
Given the short barrel, people tend to the think the .357 magnum is going to be unwieldy when you fire and if you're going to wheel-dump, you're going to get some target-drift, but what I've found at the range is that the kick isn't really distinguishable between the .357 and .38 special; that said, I really don't bother with .38 special.
