Do you carry a revolver for CCW? Which one?

[Frizzman]

Usually a Kahr P9 Covert with WW-124gr Expanding FMJ +P or a 640-1 with WW 158 grn LSWCHP +P and a Keltec P32 as a BUG. There are also such choices as a pre-36 Chief's Special, Colt Detective Special, Colt Agent, 2.5" 66-1, 2.5" 686-3, 325 PD 2.5" and a 396 Mountain Lite .44 spl. The great thing about DA revolvers is they all operate the same more or less and its not to confusing to switch between them for carry. I have other autos but just tend to carry the wheels more. As the ad copy says, "Simple, reliable and effective".

Lately, I've been lazy and let the big guns ride in a bag in the truck. I have a M625 .45 ACP Mountain Gun and a Browning Hi-Power, and extra ammo, at my feet when I travel.

In my pocket is a Colt Agent .38 special, loaded with NyClads.

Out on the farm, it can be most anything-USFA .44 Special SAA, Colt PPS in either .38 special or .32-20, S&W 2nd Model HE .44 Special cut to 3 1/2", or whatever I dig out of he safe.

It's nice having choices.

If my pants are on the 640 is in the pocket, even if a big gun is on the belt.

Looking for a suitable holster for a 3" 686.

Daily carry gun since 1980 has been a Colt Commander in .38 Super...

The first one was a 1952 that has a BarSto barrel, MMC Classic sights and a Colt ambi safety. Other than that is was basically stock.

In 2007 I had a second 1952 Commander made up about the same but has MMC Tactical Adjustable night sights and full hard chrome.

It is very rare for me to carry something else unless I am hunting, hiking or around water. Then I'll usually have a 657 Mountain Gun, 60-10 3" .357 or a Freedom Arms 97 .41 Magnum...

I wanted something reliable, safe, can be pocket carried when needed, was in a caliber used by law enforcement and was fun to shoot lots at the range. I had decided on a 642/442 and coincidently someone at work had a 442 they bought in 1994, shot once, cleaned and put in a drawer. I bought it, made a few holsters and carry it daily, either on my belt or in my pocket depending on how I'm dressed.

Over the last 30+ years I have carried both semi-autos and revolvers. In the semi-auto category, it has for the most part been a Walther PP in .32 ACP primarily in a back-up or off duty capacity.

I've been an LEO since the 1970s and overall I carried a revolver most of the time and still do. Back when I started we had to furnish our own firearms for duty use. And, were limited to either Colt or S&W.

The S&W Model 10 was probably my most carried duty weapon, seconded only by a Colt Police Positive Special in 4 inch configurations.

For back-up, off duty and some duty assignments I have carried a Colt Detective Special, S&W Model 60 and Model 649.

Although my agency now issues the Glock, we still have an option of carrying approved firearms that are personally owned. I have recently been carrying a Model 36-1 RB with a 3 inch heavy barrel. It kind of blends the best of all categories for concealment, accuracy and ease of carry in the revolver category.

Why do I carry a revolver? Years of practice and rounds down range. I hold an NRA Police Distinguished Expert Qualification with S&W revolver. Short answer - I have become very comfortable over the years with this weapons system. See no reason to change now.

With many from which to choose, I'll usually pack one of these:

 

[dscampbell]

Either my model 36 or my 3" model 10

442 every day......

 

[jinx]

Model 36 or 3 inch model 64. Both with Buffalo Bore 158 grain {not plus P}

 

[hotrod150]

Just put a Crimson Trace LG105 on my favorite carry gun, a bobbed 1969 model 36. Haven't shot it yet to check/set the zero, but just aiming & dry-firing in my front room it seems to be a great aid to point shooting- very instinctive.

Warmer weather or when discretion dictates, you'll find my model 49 in a pocket or on the belt. Colder weather and heavier cloths will find a 1911 as my best buddy. Of course for those times when a day in the woods is an absolute must, the model 27-2 or the model 28-2 will share the duties.

In cold weather, it's my Kimber pro carry II, S&W M21 4" or M28-2 4".
But for warmer weather or for weight, my Chief 2"(1952) or the Colt Cobra(1970's).
In the woods, nothing less then any .44 or .45 I have.
The S&W 500 Magnum is just to big unless I am hunting with it.

Lately, I've been carrying my current-production Charter Arms Bulldog Pug .44 in a simple Gould & Goodrich belt slide. The Bulldog wears some vintage wood grips from an old Police Bulldog I have.

Great little combo. Way better than expected.

If not my Bulldog, I'm carrying my 642 in either a Uncle Mike's #3 pocket holster, or a Don Hume JIT Slide (OWB belt slide) at 4:00.

 

[Ross3914]

Plain old 642.

3914 or 6906 for an auto, though I'm starting to like my 457 so much I might give it a go soon. Not yet, as I'm still messing with holsters.
