I assume this being the S&W forum revolver section most people here carry a revolver for CCW, but perhaps not.

What do you carry; revolver or auto? If revolver, what is your primary carry?

I frequently carry an auto, but when I carry a revolver it is usually a 642 with +P hollow points. I have recently acquired a Colt Agent, and it will see some carry duty as well when I get a few more rounds through it. It's not a Smith, but it has 6 rounds vs 5.

60-10 fits real good in front pants pocket rex

J frame is always in the right front pants pocket


grizz

A 637 or a SP101-DAO. Both work nicely in a front pocket. But so does a 3913.

My normal carry gun is a . 38 Super Colt Lightweight Commander that I converted to Winchester 9x23. However, my wife and I do a lot of riding on our Harley-Davidson Electra Glide during the summer months. While on the bike and at other times when it's inconvenient to carry the Commander, I'm carrying either my Model 37-1 or a Charter Arms .44 Bulldog Pug. The Smith .38 Special is loaded with Buffalo Bore Standard Pressure, Short Barrel 158 gr. LSWCHP's while the Bulldog .44 Special is stoked with Win. 200 gr. Silvertips.

normally a Kahr PM9 collects the most lint from my pants pocket but, during jacket season, I've been known to carry my 65-5 4" with a "kitchen table" hammer bob, trigger job, and melt down.

My 3 season gun is a 2" Colt Cobra. Winter calls for the 3" S&W 65. On rare excursions into Detroit, it's the M&P40 with 2 extra mags.

I split duty between autos and revolvers, but when it is a sixgun, I carry either a 4" 686 or a 4" 629.

Usually a small auto loading pistol due to their compact stature.

__________________
It is....what it is!

Often carry a 4" 624, but when size is an issue, it is a 60-9.

A S&W Chief's Special or Centennial has been with me almost every day since 1980.

Sometimes it is a backup, but more often it is a primary firearm.

"Acta non verba"

My usualy carry piece is a DA 9MM but I have carried revolvers for years and still do on occasion. I like the Model 40 very much but I have also packed a 2" M64 and even a 3.5" Post-War magnum and once in a while when I am in a silly mood I carry a 4" Registered Magnum.

IMHO, anyone who TRULY carries on daily basis has a J-frame in the rotation stable -- if not their 95% gun they carry (like most I know, but we live in hot weather area too).

37-2 with Speer 135 GDHP's.

WALSTIB

2" model 10.. loaded w/135 gr GDHP. or a 9mm 908 loaded w/124 GDHP. Both are fine to carry.

Jim.

A 2" Model 64, .38 Special most days, cairried in a Don hume JIT Slide, with a spare HKS speedloader on the belt in a Wild Bill's concealment speedloader pouch.

Sometimes a 4" Model 66 .357 in a Wild Bill's "Summer Special" IWB holster.

Most days, it's a 642 in the front pocket. When I travel outside of the small town I live in it's a Glock 23 .40 cal. So I'd say that 90% of the time I carry a revolver.

I carry every day, and have for many years. Most of the time, my primary is an auto, 1911-persuasion, usually in 9x23, 10mm or .45ACP. However, my backup is more often than not a Smith J-frame or a Colt D-frame revolver. When I do carry a revolver as primary, it is usually a 3" 681+ PC, a 629 Mountain, or a 3" 65 with bobbed hammer.

When in or close to the big city my Colt Commander in 45acp is slipped into my waistband.

My 90% carry has lately been a 2" model 12.
With a big-bore Smith revolver in the console.

2" M&P

I always carry a 340M&P w/ Speer 135 357 SB's in my front pocket. Back it up w/ a 342 w/ Speer 135 38+P's on my ankle.

For when I'm in higher risk areas, a 325PD 2 1/2" w/ 45 Auto Rims; a 21 w/ 44 Spl. DPX or a 640 w/ Speer 135 357 SB, all in IWB carry.

This results in a plan that can be easily modified to fit the weather, clothing requirements, etc. and also allows access to a CCW gun in various positions, driving, sitting, standing, even if on the ground.

Cold wether, heavy clothes=heavy guns, 625 MG, 629 3".
Lighter clothes=lighter guns, 325, 66 2&1/2 or 3".
Summer=642
24/7

Alternate between Glock 19 and a 640 .357....both loaded with Gold Dots. Really like carrying the revolver, so I may pick up a 3" 686 or 66.

Usually a 2" Model 15. Occasionally a 325PD or a light J-frame or a C*** Agent. Used to carry a stainless Government Model with a Model 37 backup. Might conceivably do it again.

Most common for me to carry is a 638 in my pocket. I do sometimes carry autos (mostly Glock) depending on the situation.

3" Colt New Service in .45 ACP.

Almost always this



But for the past week and a half, I've only carried this a few speedloaders

Either a Charter Arms Bulldog 3" (1991 vintage) or a Charter Arms "Undercoverette" in .32 H&R Magnum (2007 vintage.)

Scott

The 60LS with Gold Dot 38 Special +P.

Most often a 340 M&P with lazer grips or a Kahr PM9. When I feel I need a lot more I pack a Glock 33. All are carried in Kramer pocket holsters. Sometimes I sustitute a 642 or model 38 for the 340.

Ruger SP101 2.25" stoked with Remington 125 grn Gold Sabre .357's + a speedloader with 125 grn .357 GoldDot.

When I carry a revolver, infrequently these days, it is a 66-2 2.5", or 66-4 3". Regards 18DAI.

7 +1 Rounds of hope & change

I live dangerous. Sans holster, this goes in my pocket in troubled times. Now if ever called out, probley the 66-3.

I carry a 340 in my pants pocket....
Desantis fabric pocket holster...
CorBon 125gr hp............



The N frame does not pocket well, but is a great shooter.......so I wear it on my hip in the winter....


My favorite is really the Shorty 45, but it is a bit bulky....wear it occasionally....one of the finest, most accurate guns made....

Model 340PD with .38 special semi-jacket hollow points most of the time but if I need something smaller I carry my North American Arms .22 magnum revolver.

Model 10-5 3 inch most of the time.

And my 1911.
If I can get it to come up this time

urban: 60-9
rural: 686-5 4"

Always accompanied by either this Model 36


Or this Model 10-5

It all depends on how my back is feeling. Full size 1911 with two extra mags. when the back is doing good. A model 10 with two speed loaders when the back hurts.

My 10-7 & A beretta 84F & sometime my Colt Commander!

"343" Never Forgotten

A 640 .357 with Speer GD 135 .357's 99% of the time. When the blue moon shows itself and I can't figure out how to hide the 640, it's a Seecamp .32. The rougher part of town and road trips usually see both. For the woods it's a 35 oz. Taurus Tracker with 300 gr. hardcast 44 mag. I love Smiths, but a 329 seemed too light and a 629 seemed a bit heavy, so I traitored out with the Brazilian piece. But I always have something on me other than a sharp stick.
