EDC 44 Special ONLY

[moralem]

24 and 624 when I feel like wearing the correct belt to handle the extra weight....usually I am wearing my 66.

 

[Capt. F.]

My Rossi 720.. don't carry so much in summer, but swap off with my Model 66 when chamois/coat weather sets in.

For those of you carrying WC's, how fast are they going?

Everyone seems to love the 44 special 200 WC, and I would like to duplicate it (velocity wise) in my 41 special to play around with it.

I cast my own 44 wadcutters and run them at 850 - 900 FPS using Unique. I have a heavier wadcutter for the 44, but the 200 gives me a happy medium of weight / velocity.

1000 fps

I use the Buffalo Bore wadcutter at 1000 fps.

I haven't carried it yet, but bought my 2.75" barrel 69 to use as a 44 special gun.

 

[Old Arkansawyer]

21-4 with Hornady 240g JHP.

I carried this one a 396 and still do on occasion, but my 325 kind of beats it out most days now that I have it
396 and 5 spare rds in speed strip 1.72lb or 27.5oz

325 and 6 spares in dbl clips 1.95# or 31oz

A true conundrum, I would have to close my eyes and pick one, otherwise I would spend the day comparing 5 44 spec to 6 45 ACP, the .23 pounds?? I would prob end up with one strong side and the other cross draw. Not a conundrum, but a fortuitous situation anyone would like to be in!! Be Safe,

They're not my usual EDC, but I have these if I feel like it. A blue 2.5" and a stainless 3" Taurus 431. They fit in the majority of K-frame holsters...

 

[Papaw]

Older Charter Arms Bulldog.

It isn't exactly "EDC" but under winter clothing, this 624 Lew Horton Special 3" works well. I fairly recently acquired one of the original black pancake S&W holsters for it, obtained from another forum member here. Great combination, particularly with the Ahrends stocks.

How about some photos with the holster? I'm not familiar with them.

I had a really nice pancake holster for a Combat Commander made by ******* Leather. In my opinion the holsters were better before they became Galco.

Here are a couple of shots of the S&W holster specifically made for the 624 3", front and back. It's a quality piece. I also have a Galco pancake open-top (no thumb-break), but I prefer the relative security of the thumb-break design.

Do you know you made the holster for S&W? I'm guessing Galco.

I have some thumb break holsters. What I really like about Kramer Holster is there is a snap, real snug fit. I only carry concealed so I don't use a retention holster. Too old and wore out to start any fights.

Sorry- I don't know who made the holster. The style of stitching does not match the Galco open pancake holster I also have.

When I carry a .44 as opposed to my .45, it's a CA Bull Dog, 2.5" and Winchester Silvertips.

OK, John, I've been down here in PHX for 3 years... I've yet to need more than an extra shirt. What the heck do you call "winter clothing"???
