Okay, yes, I see that now. That could make a big difference in the perceived (I think that term could apply in this case) thickness of the gun.
Have you received one or just ordered it? That design looks like it would bring the S&W 686 family, the Colt Pythons, Troopers, 67, etc. and similar sizes into serious play for carry. (IWB)
I still like the pocket snubbie for dropping into a pocket and heading out the door and the various autos all carry well with a good belt and holster, but dog-gone, those bigger revolvers are so comfortable in the hand and nice to shoot.
Keep us posted.
