Was wondering if anyone could post pics of their CCW rigs. Thanks

I carry despite the posted sign. I carry everywhere except those places that have a metal detector - state and federal courthouses, etc. Places that I've carried include the local magistrate, post office, county offices, school, bars, nightclubs, hospitals, doctors' offices, etc. They clearly...

Can someone please post a few photos of pocket carry. I just don't believe this is a viable way to conceal a revolver. I won't believe it until I see it.

This topic should be interesting! IMHO your basic PD revolver only needs: 1. Crisp, smooth trigger @ 9 to 12 lb. 2. Good sights 3. Grips that allow for proper trigger control It is assumed that the average revolver is accurate and reliable enough for Personal Defense straight...

Dave Lauck produces left-hand S & W revolver conversions (Custom Revolvers - 1st thumbnail 1st row). He is a true master craftsman - his work is exceptional - but it will cost you. The competition left-handed revolver pictured costs $2,750+. A complete personal defense/close-quarters battle...

Definitely a NO LOCK revolver as it was manufactured before S & W introduced this dubious safety feature.

Of all the .45 ACP revolvers I've owned, the best overall has been, without a doubt, the Performance Center Model 325 Thunder Ranch. It's pointability, handling and accuracy are excellent - if not exceptional. I can state without hesitation that it is superb straight out-of-the-box revolver...

Double Action Only (DAO) A. Liability concerns - reduced liability B. Easier manual-of-arms C. Consistency of trigger pull Bobbed hammer is to reduce the possibility that the hammer will snag on clothing when being drawn.

I'm really suprised that a higher percentage of enthusiats don't think tritium night sights are an absolute necessity. It seems to hover around (2/3) 66.6% of those that respond to poll.

Outlined below are arguably the best Personal Defense options maximized for reliability. For examples, see Smith and Wesson K, L, and N Frame Sights but with bobbed hammer. Also on this website is a blued example here Custom Revolvers - 1st thumbnail 2nd row. My chosen mode of carry is...

Night Sights = tritium inserts that emit due to radioactive decay; need no "recharge"

You're Right teufelhunden, I think you are right. However, I've found that night sights have helped me in night time exercises so theoretically they should be of benefit - however slight. If anything they give me a "visual" in the deepest of dark.

Outlined below is my ideal Concealed Carry/Personal Defense revolver - arguably the best PD options maximzed for reliability. To my knowledge S & W has come close, but never offered such a revolver. My chosen mode of carry is on-the-belt or ankle (on rare occasion pocket). Caliber(s)...

Pease VOTE: Should a Concealed Carry/Personal Defense revolver be outfitted with night sights? Of course - they are fixed.
