Do you carry a revolver for CCW? Which one?

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

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.

.. And these 2 sweety pies are my favorite carry pieces.
642 - inside coat pocket
LCR - outside coat pocket
.. assorted galco & de'santis pocket holsters
.. They are my best buddy's & I love them. :)

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.

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.
 
P238 or Charter arms undercover light for everyday. When camping I have either my 19-3 loaded w/ .357 or my 1911 and when camping in very isolated areas I'll grab my Beretta A310 12 ga.
 
I have two guns I primarily carry: A Glock 27 40 S&W or my S&W Model 60-9 357 Mag with some of the nice Hogue rubber grips. Depends on the weather and how I'm feeling.
 
Colt Cobra loaded with BB 158 LSWC HP non +P. But more recently, my Model 65 3" loaded with Remington 125 Golden Sabers in a Simply Rugged Rig.
 
M642 in a Desantis pocket holster in my jacket or in an ankle glove holster. Like the Kahr CW9, but is a bit longer in the grip than the S&W so is pocket challenged, but is flatter, so carries IWB easier. Acquired an IWB for a Commander length Sig Sauer Nightmare Fastback Carry that carries well, due to the bobbed grip. Like having the 45. For backwoods carry a 5 in Ruger Redhawk.
 
I got a 327PC 2" revolver 2 weeks ago. 8 shots of 38special or 357 magnum. I was concerned about the size of an N frame for carry. This gun carrys as well as my Taurus 85 titanuim. I have the larger hogue grips on it, and the gun is a pleasure to shoot and plenty accurate. I trust the revolvers to be more dependable than semi-autos, and I don't feel under gunned with any of them.
 
642 on my ankle or vest (depending on what I'm doing and time of year) while at work. 642 on my ankle of left front pocket while I;m off duty.

Waiting on holsters to get a 58 and 27-2 into the rotate with the Colt Combat Commander in .45 ACP as a primary for off duty.
 
I carry a 642-1 in my right front pants pocket every day. I also carry a 4" 28-2 if the weather's cool and I'm wearing a jacket.
 
Always have carried a S&W J frame since the 60's. My current carry is the M360J in a El Paso Saddlery Combat Express belt holster. In the summer months, I carry in a pocket holster by Don Hume, soon to be replaced with the identical holster in black by Stoner Holsters.
 
When I feel nostalgic, M10 4in Tapered BBl, pancake holster, 6 loop extra ammo slide. Also use a 442, pocket carried in a cheapy Uncle Mikes pants holster.
When doing quals at county, leather holster made by Bill Jordan-Border style black basket weave, double speedloader case.
The "kids" get a snicker because my duty gear isn't ballistic nylon w/ a plastic holster, and I gently remind them that guns use to be all steel or stainless, and leather was the real cop deal. Like cars, they quit making them like that! Not to sound like a dinosaur, I do own a Glock 19, a fine pistol, and former issue weapon.
Can't retire the revolver yet though, still fires to poa, and use 158gr SJHP as a combat load. Great balance also.
I enjoy mine, and brought me home since 1986.
 
OK, maybe I'm a minimalist, but I like my post-War 32 HE Snub... that tiny little I-frame, or occasionally the Baby Chief. As the old sheriff once said, "Trouble? No ma'am, if I was expectin' trouble, I'da brought my shotgun!" :D

PS Rule #9 - Always have a knife. ;)
 
I usually carry my Ruger LCR, light, accurate simple. Sometimes I'll carry my Sig 220, 239, or M&P 9.
