What 357 or 38 S&W revolver would you carry for a pocket gun concealed?

[Arabian]

I am thinking about getting a lady smith or something like that for concealment that goes in my jacket pocket or pants pocket. What do you guys and gals use and or recommend? Thanks

I like my 340 M&P for pocket carry.

Either a Centennial (DA only) or Bodyguard (shrouded hammer, SA/DA) .38 Special would work well. Probably a good idea to find to rent or try one of each and see which you get along with better. Be sure to use a pocket holster and keep everything else out of the pocket. Good luck in your decision.

I use a 642-1 for pocket carry.

I pocket carry a Colt Agent. Roughly the same size and weight as a J frame but is 6 shot vs 5. Frequently carry the same gun in a belt holster at about 5 o’clock.

I found a used M360J and carry it frequently. I think and believe it has a scandium frame and makes me a little less concerned about practicing with it.

For me J frames are a bit big for front pockets when sitting (not impossible). NO I don't wear skinny jeans.

I’m gonna get a 640 after the new year. I think it will be great. Mostly a 38 but can carry 357. Internal hammer. I’m not decided on a standard or pro series yet.

For pocket carry, I use my 640-1 or my 442

Snubs are sort of my thing. Have quite a few by Smith and Colt. Have to say, it's hard to beat the versatility and durability of the 442 / 642 lineup. Light enough but not too light. Reliable. Somewhat subdued appearance as compared to similar blued, nickel, or anodized snubs but this makes it easier to ignore the scrapes and marks for daily carry. If I had to let them all go except one...I'd keep one of my most frequently carried 442s.

Prefer .38+P, even in J-Frame snubs chambered for .357. The .357 is too much.

My unobtanium airlite PD 340. It melts in your pocket and you forget it's there. It's like a 12ga with 3" magnums when it goes off... She might draw blood on both ends, but it will get the job done. She's NOT a range toy.

I prefer the Ruger LCR for pocket carry.

M&P 340 <------

I often carry a .357 Model 640 in a Galco pocket holster. In one particular pair of Levi's it absolutely disappears. In some Carhartt's it's a little less so and a little less comfortable. Wear a good belt!

I pocket carry a Ruger LCR327 frequently. My go-to Smith J frame is my 637, though I do love my M36 no dash and should carry it more.

IMO any J frame snubbie will work just fine for pocket carry.

One of the reasons I rarely pocket carry.

My 649 is in my pocket for 12 hour shifts every day.

I carry a 342 in a cheap uncle mikes pocket holster when I pocket carry(i usually IWB carry it in a DeSantis cozy partner), but I’ve got a pair of Bob Mika’s pocket J frame holsters on the way that I can’t wait to try out. I think the 340 and the 342 are two of the best pocket carry J frames out there.

I switched from a 640 to a 442 because the weight of the stainless kept dragging my jeans down. The 442 in a pocket holster seems ideal, even though it is a handful with standard .38's. I practice with light recoil ammo.
