The sole purpose is really for pocket carry, and, if you have small hands, even better. Much of my problem is caused by large hands, needing longer grips.

Also, for that much abuse, I'd really like a 3" barrel, at least for CCW holster carry, not pocket carry.

It's pretty much the perfect pocket revolver, other then the 340, which has the shrouded hammer.

However, the Glock line of sub compacts, in particular the Glock 39, which is as small as the 26/27, but shoots 45 GAP=45ACP, with 200 and under grain bullets, is maybe smaller, recoils much less, and is nearly as concealable, if slightly heavier, 12 oz vs 20. Plus, the Glocks give you a 3.48" barrel, a huge advantage over the 1.8" on the 360PD, or most snubs.
