Semi Auto vs Revolver For Carry

For cc I like my Bulldog 44 Sp. Really light, compact & will hit like the hammer of Thor.
 
My EDC has been some sort of wheel gun for over 40 yrs. Currenty I pocket a 340 M&P having retired my Colt Cobra, and my Model 38 is in the shop for a long overdue "strip & clean."
 
I've got several revolvers that I carry,(442,2.5" 66, and a 3" 65) but my primary EDC is a Glock 19.
 
Kinda depends on what I'm wearing that day
80 to 100 degrees..... LCP
60 to 80 degrees.......Sig 239 9mm
45 to 60 degrees........Mod 66
25 to 45 degrees........Sig P229 .40 S&W
Below zero to 25 degrees, kiss my !@#$ I ain't going ANYWHERE!

Lol, I love the breakdown! :)

Here in Phoenix we also have 2-3 months of the 100-120 degree category...if at all possible it is the same as Buckey's 0-25 degree category, but 2-3 months is a looong time to stay in the house!
 
These days, I mostly pocket carry a 2" S&W Model 36.

If I don't think I'm going to have to disarm, I carry anything from a 5" Norinco M1911 to a 3" S&W Model 65.

Revolver or semi-auto doesn't make much difference to me. It's whatever mood I'm in.

LOL!!!

Rare day we get 80 degrees here in the PA forest. We do get a lot of those lower numbers though.

0 - 4" of snow - 4513TSW
4" - 12" snow - M13 with the 642 BUG
12" - 24" - M&P45fs with the 642
over 24" .... life still goes on here, so the M&P makes the trip.

I'm waiting the arrival of a 60-15, I will have to re-evaluate my criteria.
 
Nickel J frame in the pocket are on the belt with a galco holster.

Ill give you a like, but my Wisconsin upbringing compels me to call you a pansy:D
in the land of 9 months of winter and 3 months of bad sledding the cut off has to be 20 below or we never see daylight.
 
When I get up in the morning and get dressed, I decide which gun I like best, then put it on.

Usually, that's a snub-nosed revolver of some type. Sometimes, it's a single-stack semi-auto of some type. Very rare, exceedingly rare, is it a double stack semi-auto of any type. I tend to prefer my guns and women in a similar fashion, with curves and a round butt.

To each his own...but I'm also partial to double-stacked women!
 
A pair of J frames, 357 Mag is primary; 38 Special is the BUG. ALL reloads are 38 Special for obvious reasons.
 
I have a J frame, K frame, and several semi's to choose from that include the shield and two Sig's (9mm & 45).

However, I alway's choose the model 66-1 2.5" as my primary and secondary year around. I don't care if it is a 100 degrees or zero degrees, the 66 snub goes where I go along with a Bianchi speed strip.

S&W Bodyguard 38 SPL +P with crimson trace laser grips. I must say I do very well with it .I sometimes carry my Kimber ultra cdp 45.
 
Summer's I pocket carry a lot. Carry either a Kahr CM9, or more often a 638.
Like the idea of more rounds in the Kahr, but I reach for the Smith more often for some reason.
IWB/OWB, then it's either a G19 or an XD45 tactical. Depends on the weather and my dress. May even start carrying OWB with my Model 64 when I get the holster I ordered in.
 
I carry an auto at work since the department says I have to.

Even then, I carry a revolver as a backup.

When i'm not at work, I carry a revolver. Period.

I agree with Venomballistics, but he escaped WI for NE so he's missing the great weather....

We have 60 degrees for about 36 hours. We call that season Fall.
Immediately after Fall, we get winter. Winter is anything between 30 and -35. Last Winter we had a lot of the cold -10 to -40 and no snow really to enjoy it.
Spring comes in April and lasts about 3 days. Then we get summer. This one is a doosey with temps always above 90 and humidity at about 90%. Next week we are supposed to be in the 80's and I'm looking forward to it.

I actually fly to Denver in the winter to warm up. The mountains are unbelievably warm compared to WI. :D

the difference can be amusing. while I was moving one trip up nort just about recaptured me. snow was starting to fall when I rolled out and by the time I slipped winters grasp the trusty steed was well caked in snow.
pressing on, non stop as I usualy do I ended up pulling into the parking lot at the apartment complex where the wife and I used to be with the car STILL caked in snow and getting strange looks in the 75 degree weather.
You'd think it would all melt and blow off by then .. but it don't:D
