Do you carry a revolver for CCW? Which one?

Two of the four guns I will carry are revolvers.

I carry a 442 +p in a belt pouch from 5.11. I am a big bellied guy and the pouch fits me better. I would prefer to carry my 27-2 5" barrel but have not been able to find a cc holster.
 
I normally cary a .45 auto, a Nickel Ithaca 1911-A1 with Buffalo bone grips , Springfield Armory Champion with stag grips, Sig P-220, and soon to be once I'm done upgrading the sights a H&K USP 45.
As far as revolvers go I will at times carry a S&W 642 Rebel Flag, An old S&W Cleveland Police Department model 10 Snubby with stag grips, and a Ruger Security Six with a 3" barrel and stag grips.
 
I carry either a S&W 642 or a Colt Magnum Carry. I find that my M66 & M67 are a tad too large. But a recent acquisition 5906 is a possibility in the future, after I find a shoulder holster.
 
I carry a model 637 in my right front pocket when knocking around town, a CZ75B IWB with two spare mags when traveling out of town, and either a 629-6 or Super Blackhawk with 4 5/8" barrell when foot propelled.

When riding a 4-wheeler, anything short of a bazooka works for me.
 
For years my main carry has been one of my 29-2's, still is.
Loaded with Eldorado Starfire 240gr jacketed HP's.
Have carried my 629 3" and a Rossie 2" .357 at times.

Due to my work I have to carry the smallest footprint possible.

Mine is the top North American Black Widow .22 Magnum with Winchester PDX1 personal defense rounds. These generate 1295 FPS 40 grain bullet out of a 2" barrel.

The bottom gun is my wife's CCW and it is a Kel Tec P32 using FMJ's.

I work in Dental Offices all over town. If some of these people and Doctors knew I was packing the S&^T would hit the fan. No one knows I carry this.

I carry a 3" 686 most of the time and a 438 in the pocket when not carrying the 686.

I live in South Florida, so my seasonal clothing changes from shorts to a LITTLE more coverage in our "winter" months.

Most often, I carry a 342PD. When I can conceal a bit better, it's a SW99 compact in .40 S&W. I really love them both... It's just a different tool for different situations.

Best wishes,

I'm 75 with health limitations and don't get out as much as I used to. When I do there's always a 640 no-dash loaded with Remington +P 158grain LSWCHP in an Uncle Mike's pocket holster in my right front pocket.

The Uncle Mike's pocket holster is a heck of a bargain. Does what it's supposed to very inexpensively.
 
I have changed up my carry pieces and sold the Charter .32 Mag; bought a 632 Centennial Airweight. Currently carry a Kel-Tec P-11 in 9mm.

I'm fascinated by how many folks carry a J-frame in their front pocket. I've never worn baggy enough pants to get away with that (jeans most of my life). Most of my IWB carry has been with a Colt Commander or Officer's ACP. For the last few years I've had to give up the semi autos because of arthritis in the hands. Lately I've been hauling around a PC 681+ 3" in a Maxpadition Good-to-Go shoulder bag. Yea, it's a guy purse but sometimes you just have to make do as best you can. (smile)

I carry my 642 in a Mika pocket holster. No problem in Dockers or most jeans. The LCP (also in a Mika) works with thin dress pants.
