What revolvers do you use as a CCW?

[bronconagurski]

Forgive my rookie question. I just started with handguns a year ago or so. I bought 7 handguns since then, all semi auto. I presently have a Witness .22,Witness .40 S&W, Canik Stingray9mm compact, and a S&W M&P .45 compact. I can use everything but the .22 as a CCW, but my EDC and favorite is the M&P.
Now I want to get my feet wet in the revolver realm, and I don't know squat about them, and don't pretend to. I will use whatever I buy as a CCW. My question is:
What revolvers do you presently use as a CCW?

I daily carry a 442 either in my pocket or on my belt in one of my homemade holsters.

 

[Boogsawaste]

642-2 and a 49. Both of those work well for pocket carry without exposed hammer spurs. Well the 49 has one but its not going to snag easily on much. This is what I use anyway.

My CCW revolvers are the M60 Chief Special and the M&P 360.

I prefer a 3" K frame.......... 66 or 65 in .357

If you look you are most likely to find a 65; or a 64 in .38 special.

Man after my own heart.

This is in the rotation with my M&P9 Compact-

There is a Colt Agent tucked in my waistband as I write this. Loaded with six rounds of .38 Sp+P. The little Colt has a factory hammer shroud, which still allows access to the hammer for single action use. I have carried a 642 on a lot of occasions, but have developed a fondness for the Colt. If'n I had a 2-1/2" M19/66, I'd probably leave the Colt at home more often.

You can't go wrong with a snubby J Frame or K Frame in .38 Special or .357 Magnum. I like a 642 as my coat pocket carry, but I also carry a 2-1/2" Model 66 in an OWB holster. My .22 magnum single action North American Arms Pug easily tucks into a vest pocket or front pants pocket.

351c in .22 Magnum. Super light, very loud, 2 extra shots.

My BUG is a Model 36 no dash, on the ankle.

 

[Fred_Ziffel]

I carry a 340PD or a 637 Wyatt Deep Cover.

When I carried a revolver most times it was a Model 60 that i got mid 70s. I had a few different holsters for it depending on circumstances.

 

[littleriver1]

Plus 1 for the 642

 

[TucsonMTB]

Another 642 fan here . . . primarily for pocket carry.

While on the bike and using a paddle holster, I fall off the revolver wagon.

Those are .40 S&W caliber and weigh 7 ounces more than the revolver, which seems like a lot in a pocket.

The loaded weight difference would less if the revolver did not have a replacement (S&W) titanium cylinder.

My personal favorites are:

Summer time, a 340PD. Extremely light and easy to carry.

Fall/winter, a 19 or 66 2 1/2". Still concealable, but handles full power .357s with ease.

 

[MrTrolleyguy]

I carry two and rotate a lot. (some will say stick w/one gun). My back up are usually a J frame or the Ruger LCP. My primary can be from a 3 inch model 65 up to a 627 or 629 snubs....depending on season with the heavier guns. My Glock 26 has hardly been carried or shot in the last year.

 

[jrs70]

I carry my 642 no lock and a Glock 23 or LCP. I have other J frames but I like the 642 for carry.
