I have never carried a revolver only my automatics should I carry a revolver on an empty cylinder?
If you have an 1873 Colt or similar action, then yes, keep the hammer on an empty chamber because the firing pin rests directly on the cartridge. This real safety concern from 100 years ago is erroneously perpetuated to be applicable to all revolvers, which it is definitely NOT.should I carry a revolver on an empty cylinder
Third option is tell my wife I need both.
Thanks for the info. Yes I carry my SA xdm with one in the chamber and cocked. I saw a S&W 686 6" the other day in my local gun shop and have decided I want one. On second thought a 4" would be a better carry gun. Third option is tell my wife I need both.

DITTO ! ! ! LOAD ALL THE CHAMBERS......Take a look at the 2 1/2 and 3 inch 686's, they make the best CCW's IMO. I've got a 2 1/2" 686 plus 7 shot that's a nice CCW gun.
