Oh, may I ask what you carry?

Hey luangtom,

I currently carry a semi-auto. Sometimes I back it up with a S&W 36 or Ruger SP101 (with 10 38/357 rounds total). I am preparing to carry a revolver for a full month. I'm contemplating using the new M27 (8x357) with 3.5" barrel. However, I really like the K-Frame guns with 2.5" barrel (the Night Guard series seems neat) or a 686+ with 3" barrel. I think the L-Frame is a good compromise between the J and N frames.

Of course, this is an excellent excuse to purchase the L-Frame.

I plan to carry two spare moonclips of 8x357 as soon as I can get into the shop to make the holders. I'll also pocket carry a J-Frame 38 and a bianchi speed strip.

I have an L-frame...Model 686SSR. It is quite
the shooter right outta the box. It is 4" and
puts them where you aim. It is the next step up
from stock, having some work done on the action,
chambers, etc., by S&W before it got to me. I am
awaiting a holster for its carry. I have Alessi
and High Noon for the J-frames. I carried autos
for most of my years in LE. However, it was the
J-frame that went with me everywhere then and
now. Bianchi speed-strips in the off-pocket.
I handled an SSR this weekend! Though I thought the flat sides on the barrel looked weird, I really liked how it felt. It has a great set of features like chamfered charge holes. Do the grips prevent twisting in the hand under recoil?
