The big divide in this country is urban-suburban / semi-rural-rural.
The fact that most urban centers rely on bridges and tunnels to connect them to the mainland would very much result in isolation of antagonists by geography
I have two 686+'s that I really like; 5 inch & a 3 inch barrels. I carry the 5" in the woods when hiking. ( I hike on my hunting clubs property so the pup can run free and I can target shoot). It usually rides in a chest or shoulder holster.
I don't carry the 3" much. I like it but I don't use...
