I need to state this up front. I'm asking this strictly to try and understand the thought process behind carrying a roughly G19 size revolver as a primary in an urban environment. There is no snark or "you're doing it wrong" intended or implied.
I've got a 3" GP that I occasionally think about getting a holster for but then I look at it and wonder why wouldn't I pack a 13+1 compact M&P9 with a second mag instead?
I know there are some here who carry K frames and similarly sized revolvers as their primary CCW and I've seen a few mention it's an option when necessity dictates. Barring some issue such as traveling to or through some jurisdiction where a semi can be problematic but a revolver isn't, what is the reason behind carrying something roughly the size of a G19 that only has 5-7 rounds on board when a Shield/G43/43x/48/etc gives you the same number of rounds (or more in some cases) in a smaller package.
Is it a caliber issue? Hand fit? A measurable improvement on drills?
