Do you carry a revolver for CCW? Which one?

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.
 
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.
 
Just last week I added my S&W Model 325 Thunder Ranch to my Nevada CCW! I have been carrying it everyday since!
 
I Mostly Carry a Model 642 No Dash In My Front Pocket in a Kramer Pocket Holster & My Model 940 when it can be concealed worn on my Hip in a Rafter S, Sahrkskin Rig, If I knew I was going somewere "Shady" I would probobly Grab my Beretta 92FS tucked IWB in a Milt Sparks with as many extra mags as Needed, I 've got 20+..
The Colt Gold Cup is Just For Fun.. Never Carried, Stays in the Safe..
It would be Hard to Find a Better "All Around" Better Carry gun than the Airweight 642 IMO, The 342 Airlite Maybe?

An S&W 442 in either a Don Hume pocket holster or a DeSantis ankle holster.The little guy has been with me since long before my retirement and continues to feel comfortable as an everyday companion thanks to HR218.
 
Typically, a 36-2 with a bobbed hammer in a Blackhawk Speed Classic....sometimes a Dick Special in a El Paso #88. In hot weather I put my 37-2 into a Mika pocket holster. Road trips and high danger spots compel me to take a 9mm S&W 908 in a camera case. And for woods loafing I will usually bring my 3" Ruger SP-101 in a David Newcomb rig.

My always gun is a 642. My primary "big" carry gun is either my 386 or a Beretta 96 Compact. I mostly carry the Beretta if I wear jeans, since I have a very nice IWB holster for it. I think the 386 will become my main summer carry piece.
 
In the summer months. It's an M638 with CTC LG-405s.

When it's colder, it's either a Model 40/M638/XD-9SC/SIG P220 Carry SAO as primary and a Model 40/M638 as a BUG.
 
In the summer, I often pocket carry a 340Sc. Ordinarily, it's a 1911 or G36 around town. In the hills or desert, its either a 686, GP100, or 4" Redhawk.
 
In town, it's a 1911/230 Hydra-Shok or a 38-2/FBI load.

In the hills it's a 5" 629 Classic with a 250-grain Keith bullet at 950 fps.
