Do you carry a revolver for CCW? Which one?

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.

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.
 
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.

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

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....
