I just inherited an older model 49. The action is strangely good with that just plain worn in feel. I can't wait to shoot it. That extra weight sucks to carry, but great for shooting. The old steel J frames and snub K's along with the Colt Det. Special size guns were really how many of the older guys carried AIWB, and they are still good in this role. Heavy for pockets, but not bad in a holster.
