Anyone here only carry revolvers?

[Umshiniwam]

A Ruger Speed Six 2 3/4" 357, IWB on cr speedbelt. Great EDC, wouldn't swap it for anything else.

In revolvers I carry either a 10-5 snubby, a Taurus 357 snubby or a Taurus/Rossi 44 mag snubby. Or either a full size 1911 or a compact 1911. Mostly a 1911 though!

I've declared 2013 the year of the revolver. When off duty, it's strictly a Mod. 60 with CT laser grips.

Is there any one else here that have gone to only carrying revolvers?

I tried for a year. It required a huge amount of remedial training in order to achieve half my skill with a semi-automatic pistol. I found that a five inch barrel makes a huge difference. I really like the eight shot 357 N-Frames. The 3 1/2" Model 27 was quite a bit more difficult to shoot. Rapid fire is still difficult to do and I'm not anywhere near as fast with a revolver. I think if I attend several classes with revolver instructors and put a few thousand rounds through a gun, I may be able to get where I want to be. Until then, I only use a revolver for backup.

alright, time to throw in pics of my three carry revolvers:
my newest one:


my favorite for in the house or winter carry:


and for when the scrutiny of huggy women and dinner parties make it hard to conceal with confidence:


and finally, for snowshoeing trips or hiking in the back country: 44 special Vaquero

I have six handguns. Three are bottom feeders: a Ruger LC9, a Czech VZ-82, a Bersa Thunder .380. Three are revolvers: a Taurus Model 85, a Smith Model 640 Pro Series, and a NAA Mini .22wmr.

I like my bottom feeders, but I don't regularly carry them. In fact, they're all in the gun safe. I carry the Smith and the NAA on a daily basis, and keep the Taurus in the truck. I prefer the reliability of a revolver, and have no issues with only five rounds cuz those five are for sure. I really don't like having to jack with guns all that much, so revolvers are the logical choice for me because I don't need to do bi-weekly maintenance on them. I keep the automatics on hand because I have a lot of ammo for them, and if I run out of revolver ammo then I can shift over to the bottom feeders. Also, they're handy for renewing my TX CHL, since they do make the 15 yard qualification requirement easier to attain, and if I qualify on the automatic I can still legally carry my revolvers.

And if nothing else, I just like revolvers better that automatics. I do not have to second guess them, and I think they are sexy as all get out.

I sold all my semi-autos except for a S&W 22S I've had for years. All I have now in centerfire is revolvers. I switch carrying between a 2.25" Ruger SP101 and a S&W Model 60 Pro. I just picked up a new 3" 686 last weekend. Once I run enough rounds through it to make sure it's dependable I'll rotate it into my carrying.

I have the Ruger SP101, the Model 60 Pro, the new 686, 4" Ruger GP100 and a 4" Smith Model 64. I haven't decided if I'm going to keep the Model 60 Pro or sell it off and try to find a 66 snub.

After starting in LE back in 1975 I only carried revolvers then 1911s, custom 1911s that worked 100%. Even now off duty I still carry a revolver. A S&W Original Run F-COMP. Best darn revolver I ever owned. A 442 will sometimes get thrown in a pocket for a quick run.
