Which S&W Revolver Do You Carry Most?

My body is kind of round, and its hard enough keeping my pants up unloaded. So I just keep a g19 in the vehicle. But when it cools off a bit, and I can comfortably carry a firearm , my 686p 3" sits in my pocket nicely.
 
change of mind

Since getting this birth year Baby Chiefs back from "the smith" I've been carrying it exclusively. Bobbed hammer, partially relieved trigger guard, fully checkered back strap, cerekote and Craig Spegel's Baby Booties give me all the confidence I need in my day-to-day travels. My Air Force Chiefs stripes and the $5 gold piece from the year I retired are what a friend who's a retired Navy Chief calls a "new level in vanity."

If I'll be working in the woods and I feel a need for more I strap on the 460 ES. Overkill? A friend dropped a charging grizzly boar about 20 miles from here a few years ago so I don't think so.

640 no dash in front pocket (middle one), two speed strips in weak side pocket.

Edit: I've added a 640-1 also.

Not the one I carry the most. It's the only one I carry. Got to obey the law of the land.:D

Limited to .32 caliber, 4 inch barrel lenght for revolvers.

So, 3 inch model 31 dash something (don't remember dash what, and to lazy to go check:D). Even though This .32 ruling allows for .32 Mag, I stick with .32 S&W long. The law also says you'r in deep trouble (trouble was not my first choice of word:D), if you kill your attacker. The .32 Mag is not a "manstopper", but it is deadly.

If I lived there, I think a K-frame Smith & Wesson M&P in .32-20 with a 4 inch tapered barrel, magna grips, and a grip adapter would be the hot ticket.

Your little revolver is nice, but I'd put a grip adapter on it.

First part of the question is what percent of the time do you carry a revolver vs. a semi-auto?

Next, when you carry a revolver, which one do you carry most?

Do you have a carry rotation? What guns are in the rotation?

Do you carry IWB, OWB, Pocket, or some other way?

1- 100%
2- locally 2 1/2" model 66. Out of state traveling a 2 1/2" model 19-2- reason for this, if stopped, and I hope this does not happen, it would be less painful to have to get the model 19 back for some "local P.D."
3- see above.
4- I'm way to old and fat to IWB a revolver anymore.
4 A- generally a pancake or speed scabbard. On a rare event, an inverted shoulder holster.
 
I agree with Old cop. I don't think a carry "rotation" is a good idea. I carry a commander size 1911. If I carried a revolver it would be my 3" 65.

Least one not as large as he has ..

I stick to 2 both DA/SA de-cocker no safety ..worn at the same position ..

Beretta PX-4 Sub Compact .. or my Sig P229 Legion ..

either IWB or OWB at 4:30 ..
 
Everyday I carry a 3" M629 Deluxe. I have a bunch of revolvers, but it's my favorite.
