Do you carry a revolver for CCW? Which one?

Mode 36 nickel 70% of the time in a HBE Pro TL IWB holster. If going into unfriendly areas usually strap on my BHP just for the extra firepower. The 36 then becomes my BUG. It's just so easy to put on and take off.
 
As long as I can leave a shirt tail untucked, I'm good to go.

Warm weather is my model 36. Since I got it, its been my almost constant companion.
With cold weather approaching, I'll be switching to my 28-2. The barrell has been switched out to a 3" and its had plastic surgery to go from a square butt to a round butt. Badger boot grips make it easier to carry discreetly.
 
I own two revolvers, both S&W. A model 60 and a model 642 airweight. The 642 gets a lot of carry time since it carries so nice in my front pocket.

340 M&P with Crimson Trace 405 laser on the belt or for coat pocket carry.

Ruger LCP with Crimson Trace LG431 laser for pants pocket carry.
 
I have carried for over 40 years. Mostl of the time as a LEO, but 18 years as a license PI. I have carried a number of firearms. By 70% of the carry time was a Model 10 Snub, or as of late a SW Model 442 - I have almost always carried some sort of a 38 SPL, and now today I only wheel guns that are either 38SPL or .357 Mags.
 
A 4" Model 10 from 1976 with Arabic markings and lead semiwadcutter handloads.
 
638 if revolver. 10mm gold cup or para-ord 400 cor-bon if auto. sometimes a p-229 in 357 sig just for something different.
 
Either a M60 or a M13, depending on how I'm dressed and where I am. Occasionally I switch it up to an auto and carry my 1006, but not very often.
 
depending on the season and what i am wearing, i carry either a 342Ti loaded with 158gr lead hollow points or DAO CS9. if concealment is not an issue, then its Sig P226R in 40SW. while hunting a 3.25", magna ported ruger "kodiak" 44mag, loaded with 265gr soft points.
 
For concealment always a Kahr PM40 in a Galco strong side belt holster----in the woods I always tote a 4" 629 in a DeSantis Dual Hunter, worn cross draw.
