Which S&W Revolver Do You Carry Most?

Do you have a crystal ball? How do you know what the situation will be? I carry the same gun everyday. If a gun won't handle anything that would or could happen, I wouldn't own it let alone carry it.

According to Inspector Callahan: A man's got to know his limitations." :D

Can you were those Tamer Grips in your pocket with jeans or shorts?

That's not my gun pictured, but I carry the exact same set up. I've never tried pocket carrying, but for me it's a bit big for that. I carry AIWB and that grip makes it really nice to draw from the belt.

I am thinking of trying the Pachmyr grips, just to see if I like them better. But those hogues are very good.

Nice shooting waywatcher!
 
I have been carrying only my J-Frames the last couple of years. Two daily. Either Two 442s or a 442 and the 36. I may have posted this already but, I'm old so it's OK.

Can I ask you exactly how you carry those? I am leaning toward doing this for when I feel like I need more. I am going to start another thread on this subject. And if you want you could answer there. It will be about NY reloads.

I don't think I can carry anything any bigger than the Bantams on my 340PD, but I'll check them out, thanks for the info.
 
In warm weather, my Model 49, a pocket holster in my cargo shorts. It also rides in a belt slide holster when I'm wearing jeans. it's about 50/50 between the wheelgun and my Shield.
 
Either my 627pro; 627PC or the 442PC. I have carried all of these at one time or anothor except for the 6" Colt Official Police

340PD in a Galco horsehide pocket holster, with Speer .357 magnum 135 gr. Gold Dot short barrel rounds. Weighs as shown in some earlier posts, just under 16 ounces, loaded including the holster. I have killed a fair sized deer with this gun and ammo (told the story in an earlier thread), and the performance was perfect. I have great confidence in this combination, and it is so light and handy that I will have it with me even when I go out with the trash in pajama bottoms...even then it doesn't pull them down!!

Not exactly the most photogenic or glamorous of handguns, but the handiest, most powerful, lightweight combination I can think of, and I have quite a collection to choose from, since snubbies are sort of the focus of my collection interests.

If not the 340PD, one of the below is usually carried...340 PD is at the top, and the lightest. The 640-1 Pro Series has the best sights, but is twice the weight:

I only use revolvers for carry, and I often carry two of them with speed loaders. A model 36 Chiefs Special goes in an IWB holster concealed. Depending on where I am going for the day I may CC carry the chief with my 686+ 4" in an OWB holster carried openly. Chief goes everywhere I go without exception.

Sorry just saw this. I probably answered in the new thread. A 442 with stock boot grips is in a Uncle Mike's pocket Holster in my left pocket. Another Snub is AIWB in a leather clip on.
