What revolver do you carry?

[les.b]

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

I want a Commander size .38 Super!

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?

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.

642->442->649-> M22

 

[2ndshift]

No more Glocks for me since retirement. 642 everyday. 10-7 2" for fall, winter, and spring.

 

[okiegtrider]

342PD, carried a lot, shot just often enough to be satisfied that it works. This is a show and tell thread right?

I want to get a 10-7 snub for my retirement gun. 10-7 is our code for off-duty haha

No doubt there are far more J's carried than K's; however this is the one site on which I must agree and I had the same thought.

 

[3five7]

The one I carry the most, just about every day is a 3 inch SP101 in 327 Federal Magnum.

 

[Deputy25]

A four inch Model 19.

 

[Marc.38]

More frequently I carried a Charter Arms Bulldog Pug .44 SPL, but lately I'm leaning on my Smith & Wesson Model 60-7 with Hornady Critical Defense +p.
