Which pocket carry revolver do you use?

Cal44 · Oct 20, 2016

I'm curious which revolver you pocket carry most frequently.

S&W or other make.

Do you carry an exposed hammer gun?

What holster and load do you use?

I don't carry in pocket often because I prefer my SP101 on the belt, but
when I carry in pocket its this Ruger LCR .38 Spl. in a DeSantis Nemesis
pocket holster. Load is Hornady Critical Defense 110 Gr. FTX +P.

Models 638, 642, 340M&P. Don't wan't any of them to feel ignored so I rotate semi-regularly.

Uncle Mike's pocket rig size #3, the older mfg. I find the newer #3's to be cut a little more tightly.

.38 LHP in the .38s and W-W 110gr JHP Mags in the 340s.

642. Pocket, no holster. I only carry it walking my dog around the neighborhood so I just throw it in my pocket

I carry the 640 mainly IWB, but pocket carry too on occasion. 110 gr. Federal Hydra Shok.

I carry a S&W 442, though mostly IWB instead of pocket. I have too much junk in my pockets most of the time for pocket carry. Honestly, the darned 442 is so lightweight and compact, I'd probably forget I had it if someone jumped me. Usually it's loaded with Doubletap 125gr Bonded +P, and a speed strip of the same in my pocket.

Smith 442. I use a pocket holster made for a small auto. The trigger isn't completely covered, but it keeps it oriented in my pocket.

I carry a Chiefs Special Pre 36 flat latch in my pocket with no holster when it's hot and I have on shorts and a tee shirt.

S&W model 637.
It's a J-frame , 5 shot , 2 inch barreled , Airweight with an exposed hammer.
I started off with a model 60 , same as above but all steel.
Listened to "experts" , only a 45 will do . Moved up to a 1911 full size, next a light weight commander , next a 5 shot snub nosed , stainless steel , 45 acp revolver (Taurus 415) . The problem with all the 45's was bulk and weight...and if it isn't on your person, it's not going to help.
So I asked some LEO's , freinds who had been on the force decades. Everyone had an Airweight , 38 special , and had it in a pocket on their person . Every one said the exposed hammer snagging thing is a non issue, they all preferred hammer guns.
I got one in 2004 , all the others stay home , the airweight gets put in a pocket, pants in summer, coat in winter.
I alter my pockets , with thin leather sewn insides to create a built-in holster. I never could find a pocket holster I liked. So I made my own pants pocket holster.
I can tell you the exposed hammer is not a problem . I tried a hammerless S&W Airweight for a while and just didn't care for it at all.

For me it is this Md 649-3 chambered in .357 that I bought new back in the 1990s. And I still prefer the Uncle Mike's stocks that came on it when new. I have plenty of choices but this is the gun that gets carried the most and it is always pocketed.

Smith & Wesson Model 60 .357 magnum with a Clip-Draw isnide the pants carray wit no holster. I carry Hornady 125 gr. Critical Defense .357 factory rounds.

I carry a 442 in a #4 Uncle Mike's Pocket Holster. Once in a while I'll rotate a Bobbed Modle 37 in the pocket but, the 442 is my favorite.

Cal44 · Oct 20, 2016

These days I'm pocket carrying a 431PD loaded with 6 100gr Georgia Arms H&R Magnums.

In a Nemesis.

M&P340 with Critical Defense

I'm a little different I guess. I carry a 64-2 2", either in a Simply Rugged pancake holster or in my pocket. I just ordered a Mika pocket holster for it as I couldn't find anyone else who makes pocket holsters for k frames.
I find it carries easily in a front pocket in cargo pants or shorts. Jeans usually require the Simply Rugged.

My BUG is a 637-2 with an Apex spring kit in it. I don't find hammers to be a problem with either gun along the lines that gwpercle described. I am considering bobbing the hammer on the 637 though. With the Apex spring kit the single action on it is just way to light, about a pound and a half. The 64 is already a DAO piece.

I use the Speer Short Barrel 135 grain +p's in both of them.

I'm only allowed to carry at the range, any where else = jailtime

SD is a strict NO NO here

But if i could

i'd take my modell 19 in my CALCO holster

S&W 638 every day in a Uncle Mikes pocket holster, loaded with Underwood full wadcutters!!

Jim NNN · Oct 20, 2016

I recently bought a new S&W 442, but I'm still mostly carrying an Interarms era Rossi 88. Today I carried a Taurus era Rossi 351, but I usually tend to stay with stainless revolvers as they don't show the carry wear as much. Guns like the 88 are a little stouter and therefore heavier to carry, but more pleasant to shoot than many J frames.

I would like to find a scratched up model 60 for not much money, but they're kind of hard to find a good price.

Which pocket carry revolver do you use?
