Which S&W Revolver Do You Carry Most?
- Thread starter HarrishMasher

I carry either a Ruger SR9C or LCR .38 right now. I like those for CCW as they are not expensive and I don't need to fret on wear or carry bruises. Mostly I carry the Lcr which is so light and really a remarkable ccw revolver IMO. However. I have a SW classic re-issue Centennial model 40-1 that I have been safekeeping. I am ordering a set of elk stags and a T-grip for it. When those arrive I will carry that exclusively in the winter and go to my IA PPK for summer carry. I will probably sell my sr9c even though I like it. The lcr will probably stay and be my truck gun "as they say".
My most carried is an old, worn S&W M10 3".
That is a great ccw setup!

Ok , finally got to thinking about this thread. Caused to consider the parameters. Is this refering to a specific individual gun, or multiple examples of same gun ? Is this weighted to current/ recent times, or cumulative ?
Overall holster time probably as M15 ahead of M10's. During my time period of having wide lattitude of selecting my duty gun saw 4in M65 about 50% , with everything else combined the other 50% ( as primary gun). On my own time , my fetish for 2in) K Frames is nearing a decade. Damn , I just realized time marches on , more than a decade. But it is random coin toss between M1 and M64.
I liked my M469 well enough in the day , but when I got a civillian P225 it quickly became my default bottomfeeder. For the last 5-ish years is now a random coin toss between that and P90.

How do you know what situation will arise until you are already in it? You have no idea what situation will present itself when you walk out the door every morning. Isn't that like trying to predict the weather?

My 642 goes with me about 99% of the time.

Situation was probably a poor word choice on my part, but I was referring to the activities I'd be doing/places I'd be. I.e. hiking in the backwoods vs going in town to go shopping.

Most days it's my model 60. In my pocket or on a magnet under my desk .

Right now my 3" 65 comes with me more than any other smith. But I do have a 2.5" 19 on layaway that I plan on carrying quite a bit.

There's an old saying, "Beware the man who only owns one gun, he probably knows how to use it."
I carry one of two guns: A S&W 65-5 that I've personally tuned in the summer and a Glock 17 that I've personally tuned in the winter. I carry them in the same location/position, in the same style and brand of holster. The only difference is the position/location of my spare mags/speed loaders.
When I went thru the police academy in 1980 we all carried revolvers and they drilled into us carrying the same type of weapon in the same location off duty. They told a story of a big city cop, the years have taken away his name and department, that was killed attempting to stop an armed robbery of a bank when he was off duty. He had the drop on the suspect from behind when the perp suddenly turned and fired three rounds into the officers chest, killing him instantly. Witnesses stated that during the shooting the officer was trying to return fire, they could see him pulling the trigger, but apparently his weapon malfunctioned and didn't go off. During the investigation it was found the officer was carrying a 1911 style pistol off duty whereas his issue weapon, the one he was trained with by the department, was a revolver. The 1911 was found next to the officer with the safety in the on position. The 1911 functioned perfectly at the range the next day.
I've been teaching firearms for over thirty years to both cops and private citizens and I teach the same lesson every class.

OK, I'm one of those guys with a "carry rotation" although I'll readily admit that one of the three, the 32 HE snub (post-War I-frame) is my favorite and most frequently carried. The pre-War 38 Terrier and the Baby Chief are both equally easy to handle and can readily substitute for the 32 since they are all the same size and fit the same holsters.
As for the "how" of my EDC, although I have an ankle holster, a shoulder holster, a little belt holster and even a suede pocket pouch, I mainly carry in the consoles of my vehicles in a custom made Kydex™ holster that is easily moved from car to SUV and back... it will be even better when I get the Velcro™ tabs on the back the way I want it.
Oh yeah, here is a recent picture of the "triumvirate." Can you pick out the 32? See, the rotation works!

Just added this 7-shot bad boy to the carry rotation yesterday. It will vie with my 386 Night Guard for most carried revolver.
