I carry a S&W 640 probably about 80% of the time. Most of the time it is in a Uncle Mike's pocket holster in my front jean pocket or in an outside jacket pocket. Sometimes it will ride in an Uncle Mike's pancake holster I got with the gun. At times I think I would like to have something lighter such as the 642, however, with the bit of extra weight it does make range time more comfortable esp. with my +P carry loads. I also carry at least one extra speed loader, mainly because I got several that came with the gun. I usually just throw one or two in another pocket or carry in a small pouch if belt carrying.
One thing I learned is that it is a good idea to shoot your snubby as often as possible until you are comfortable with the operation and accuracy. When I first got mine I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn from inside with it! It took me a few hundred rounds to feel confident and now I believe at typical self defense ranges it will do the job.
