What revolver do you carry?

[fdw]

SP 101 with 38s...IWB at 2 o'clock.

 

[RobertJ.]

A box for Ruger, a box for Charter Arms, and no box for Colt except "other"?

Colt Detective Special, 4th issue, .38 Special!

 

[WC145]

My custom 9mm/.38spl convertible S&W 360J has ridden in my pocket several days a week for almost 8 years now.

 

[Lostaro]

M36 is the go to....but I do carry a 3" Ruger GP100 from time to time...

Both great guns IMHO

 

[Shark Bait]

My favorite carry revolver right now is a Lew Horton model 24. It has a great action and carries comfortably. There are some good 44 Special loads available too.

 

[Protected One]

I don't always carry a revolver, but when I do it's a 1983 Chiefs Special.

 

[radar1972]

I only carry a revolver on rare occasions, but when I do it's a S&W 360J.

Being a collector, I have literally dozens of choices. For the last couple of months, I've been carrying a beautiful S&W 640-1 Pro Series .357 in the pocket holster that I use to carry most of my snubbies in. The holster fits both the Smith snubby I, improved I, J, and 357 J frames, and the Colt Detective Special sized snubbys. I have 8 or 9 Colts: D.S., Cobra, and Agents in both the unshrouded and shrouded configurations, a Bankers Special, a Pocket Positive and probably some others I can't remember right now. Then there are the Smiths: two Terriers, a .32 pre 30 snub, a Baby Chief, an early pre Cenntenniel (Hammerless Chief Special, 42 no dash, .... Well, at least a dozen more Smith snubs. I am a shooting collector. I do not abuse any of my guns, but I believe they were made to shoot, and like to rotate them in carry, just for fun. After all, any handgun is intrinsically inferior to the shotgun and rifle when it comes to defense, and shot placement and penetration are the main prerequisites of adequate defense. I train with my guns, these snubbys are all very similar in their handling characteristics, and I feel confident with all of them.

I also carry semiautos from time to time, but it's getting late, and I don't want to bore you with more lists of what I might carry from time to time. But my favorite two autos are my Kimber Ultra CDP II in .45, and my old 60s era Colt Commander in .38 Super.

Best regards, Les

I want a Commander size .38 Super!

 

[medic15al]

Most frequently it is a 4in Model 15-7

If carrying a snub it is a Colt Agent mid 80's make.

A 100 year old S&W N frame Snubby in .45 Cal.

Iggy, that's sure one sweet looking rig there!!! My problem is that there are so many guns, and so little money!!! I know that I buy way too many Smiths and Colts, and other brands to a lesser extent, but unlike investing in stocks and bonds, the money that you put in guns is a pretty safe investment.

Over time it will surely grow, but it will never go down in value, unlike other investments. On those rare occasions when I have sold guns, I have never lost money. And usually make a modest profit. So I don't really feel guilty when I spring or a new shootin' iron, any more than if I were to put the money in a bank account.

All of which is a prelude to thinking about the advisability of finding something along the lines of that nice looking snub nose you have there.

Best Regards, Les

Found this one in a local pawn shop awhile back. Ammo was scarce then, and as I already reload, I picked up a set of dies for it, and shoot mainly 9mm bullets reloaded in .38 super brass. It is a sweet shooting little Colt!!! It even came pre- idiot scratched, so I don't have to worry about when I slip up and scratch it myself!!!

My apologies to the OP, this was supposed to be about revolvers. I was just answering Protected Ones question. Well, it wasn't so much a question as a declaration, but you see what I mean.

Best Regards, Les

Lemme see here. About 10 categories of J-frames and then there's "Other K-frames"? What's that all about?

Normally I carry a Colt Commander .45acp. But when the wheel gun mood hits, my go to is a 3" Model 13.
GF carries a 2" Model 10.

So why is there this assumption the revolver people mostly carry J's?

[gruntshot]

I own two Taurus a .38 SPL+P,Taurus .357 Magnum both 5 shots.I also have an EAA .38 Special,.357 Magnum.My two S&W are Automatic.

 

[oldsman70]

S&W model 327 W/ Lobo Holster 4 o'clock position 38 plus P 8 times.

 

[Jim1392]

When I carry a revolver I carry a 640 Pro in a Remora IWB holster.

 

[Old cop]

My most carried revolver is an early '60s Model 38, pocket holster w/factory small wood grips & grip adapter. Recently purchased the M&P .380 and it has become my EDC w/the M38 relegated to the safe.

 

[Fastbolt]

Most frequently? One of my 642-1's or M&P 340's (I have a pair of each, because I like them a lot).

Less frequently? 649 (older .38 Spl model), 37-2, 36 or a SP101DAO.

My larger revolvers still see some range use, but seldom see carry roles anymore. I prefer smaller guns, especially for my retirement CCW.
