I know it is only a 5 shot and that extra one may matter but I would say a 605. Pretty easy to conceal. And no, I'm not one of those people who disregard what the OP wrote!
I, too, am partial to the 605 models. Maybe because I have a SS and a Blued model. But they are good little (key word...) pistols with a 5 shot capacity. You said concealed ... these pistols are small, powerful and conceal well.
I have the Model 851, which is a five shot snubby and the Model 617 which is the seven shot snubby
that Taurus makes. I carry the Model 851 more often for comfort reasons. (it is a good deal lighter)
Both are excellent revolvers and I load .38 Special +P HP Remington Golden Sabers in them when
I carry. The Model 851 is a .38 Special and the 617 is a .357 Magnum.
I find the 7 round 617SS2 357 is just very slightly thicker through the cylinder than a 6 round Colt Cobra 38 spl. NON +P but it is about 12 oz. heavier with a good holster and belt it can be easily concealed. A light weight revolver will produce more perceived recoil since it does not have the weight to help absorb the recoil.
I believe the difference in the cylinder diameter was only 0.030" or 0.040" bigger on the 617 if I remember correctly.
It depends on the height,weight, and build of the individual. Since I wear a shirt one size bigger ( got that from a lot of CCW sites and media books) than I need to, untucked, the gun hides real well for me. On the other hand I am about 5'8" in height.
My Taurus 66, 4" barrel, works well, but I do find that my other Taurus revolvers with 2.5 or 3" barrels work better for all day carry.
