What size S&W revolver do you carry?

[Cal44]

Based on frame size.

For once I remembered to allow multiple answers, but just choose the frame sizes you carry frequently.

 

[BCDWYO]

I'm the first poll-responder, so it looks like 100% K-frame right now!

Actually to elaborate, k-frame would be the most frequent, with L and J frames a close second depending on attire, etc. N frame least frequent. Don't own any I or X-frames.

Almost every day I carry a 2" 36-"no-dash".

I infrequently carry a 3" 65.

 

[petepeterson]

When I do carry a wheelgun, it's a 442, or a 3" 60-15.

J-Frame - Model 642-2 - "Always" gun. If I'm wearing pants, I'm carrying this.
K-Frame - Model 13-3 - Off duty gun. Out and about, not at work, I carry this.
L-Frame - Model 686-6 - Duty revolver. Every day I'm at work, this rides on my duty belt.

Alternatively:
J-Frame - Model 37 (no dash) - "Third gun" or 2nd J-Frame when the steel guns are just too heavy. The 642-2 replaced this as my "Always" gun.

Trying to convince my agency that they need to buy me a Model 327 TRR8 or M&P R8 for duty carry. That would replace the L-Frame with an N-Frame.

Model 442 Pro when I carry a revolver.

When I carry a revolver, it's a J-Frame in a Desantis pocket holster or carried on my belt with a Desantis Clip Grip.

Sometimes I'll carry a 4" GP100, but it's a pretty substantial hunk of metal to lug around all day.

 

[wogentry]

Most frequently: A model 10-5 or 19 with a 4" barrel

Frequently: model 10-5 2" barrel/model 19/66 with 2 1/2" barrel

Sometimes: model 28/24/29 4" barrel (woods bumming etc)

Rarely: 640 Pro Series

On my hip where it belongs.

4" K-frame MP. Still shoots where I point it.

 

[Jim1392]

When I carry a revolver it's my 640 Pro loaded with Speer LE Gold Dot 135 grain +P's.

When I walk in the woods, most often I carry a 1917 Brazilian Contract in a nylon holster, If there is climbing planned there is a lanyard of some type used.

When I have pants on I carry a refinished with Arm-a-loy, Model 49 no dash. This gun is on me just about at all times. I have pocket, paddle, pancake, and ankle holsters for it.

I took a recent trip to New Jersey and was completely without a firearm for 8 days, It was such an unusual feeling. After driving home, I walked in the house and got the 49 in my pocket then unloaded the car!

I-frame most common- early 50's Terrier.

 

[Mickey D]

696 3" L frame in .44 spl.

 

[Blackbarry]

So many considerations....... I've tried IWB at the 3/4 o'clock positions. Not An easy draw for me. Also, it is hard getting my belt tight enough to keep my pants up and not squeeze the gun-in-holster too tightly. So for me it's my 3" K frame 66-4 in a shoulder holster or my 3" J frame 36-1 in a pocket holster. Both are comfortable. But the nod goes to the J for weight saving. One is .357 and the other +P 38. Not much difference in performance at 5 yds.

My two carry guns

L-Comp


K-Comp


My 686+ practice gun


Carry ammo is Remington 125 grain Golden Saber. Practice ammo is either American Eagle 38 Special 158 LRN or Hornady 125 XTP over 14.0 grains of Vit N110 which duplicates the Golden Saber in terms of Point of Impact and recoil.

All right, who's the wiseguy that voted for the X-frame?

What, no topbreaks? (Yes, I have and no, I don't)
