Do you carry a revolver for CCW? Which one?

[ferretray]

S&W .44 Magnum Mountain Revolver. Will supplement with a no-lock 642 eventually.

My off duty concealed carry revolver is a 642, or a M66 snubby. The M66 is my favorite handgun on the home front while working outdoors, or hiking in the woods.

Mine is a backup to the 1911. When engaged in physical activity or very lightly dressed it is on its own.

I have a nickel model 22 that I have considered carrying as a woods gun...but I fear doing any damage to the finish and may keep it relegated to range queen status.

I used to carry a Ruger LCP as my primary ccw, however after buying my first revolver, a S&W 30-1 and shooting it I feel in love with it and decided in my situation, it fits me better as my ccw, and since have started carrying it.

642 PORTED with LSWCHP 158 grain I was not looking for this gun but after seeing the price I could not pass it up. I like the white dot front sight a lot.
The 36 reminded me of my uncle Jack who packed a 36 appendix carry in of all places NJ back in the 60s . He knew the right people I guess. He also made holsters for the Philadelphia PD. So when I saw it at a fair price I just could not resist.

This old timer with Grasshorn Grips has been my standard for over twenty years now. It likes my Bianchi R9 AKA Steve McQueen upside down bullet holster a lot.
Why a wheel gun some wonder.
Well no function issues. No bullet set back from loading and unloading for storage like a bottom feeder.
No worry about reloading since two J frames pack as easily as a bottom feeder and spare magazines. Plus it is nice to have a spare for a friend if need arises.
The Milt Sparks VM II works great for IWB 4 o:clock with the 642 left front pocket.

Occasionally a Glock 26 or an old 380 Beretta but most of the time I
carry a md 37. A few times I have thought it prudent to have a back
up and so carried my 37 and 60 both.

 

[Double-O-Dave]

EDC is a Model 38-0 and a Model 638-1 - both carried in either a #3 Uncle Mike's or a DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster. If I feel the need for a larger gun, I'll carry either a 3.0 inch barreled K-frame, or a 2.5 inch barreled Model 66.

Regards,

Dave

CCW

Normally carry a J Frame. I have several to choose from, but this is one of my favorites.

I carry a 1954 s&w 3.5" pre 27 loaded with either glasser safety rounds when inside the house and switch to 180gr full house rounds for outdoor packing in a horse hide lobo iwb holster with a stiff belt carrys nice even with cargo shorts

 

[hardcase60]

Short answer is, it all depends on what I'm doing and how long I'm away from home. Model 37 in the "crack" holster is my go to for walking the dog or a quick trip to the stop and rob. Dress up is a Mdl 64 3" or Mdl 19 snubby in OWB pancake at about four o'clock. Truck gun is a Mdl 65 4". The Glk 17 and S&W 59 are back-up's.

I assume this being the S&W forum revolver section most people here carry a revolver for CCW, but perhaps not.

What do you carry; revolver or auto? If revolver, what is your primary carry?

I carry a Model 42 S&W and it's nice and light.... very accurate with laser grips.

I carry a "well carried", 4 digit serial # Baby Chief in one of Bama Biker's custom carved floral masterpieces!

As one of the oldest rats in the barn, I think that it fits my persona!

I have CCW a Blackhawk .41 magnum, Blackhawk .357 magnum, and Ruger Security Six .357 magnum. I now carry a Colt Commander .45 ACP, or a SW Model 642. Use both IWB and OWB holster for each depending on what I am going to wear and where I am going. I love revolvers but that Colt .45 is amazing.

How about a photo, esp of the holster?

My Model 37, Speed Safety holster, and dump pouches.

For years I carried a 1911 or a K-frame S&W (.357). As I have gotten older the guns have gotten smaller and my choices these days are a Glock 43 (9mm) or a S&W 442. The 442 probably get the most use because it is a great pocket gun for that quick run to the store. No holster required.

M&P 340, 357 125gr rem golden sabers, 2 speed strips iwb garrett holster works for me

This thread started in 2008. But, I’ll join in the revival. I only carry and shoot Revolvers for around the last 6 years. These are what I pick 2 of every day. Usually it’s the 2 442s

638 no dash in my pocket.
