Who else carries a wheel gun?

[Daniel Howe]

As much as I like my auto's I always preferred a revolver for protection. This little Taurus 605 is easy to carry and inexpensive. Its also built pretty damn good. I like it better than my Colt Cobra (new model). At 25 yards iron sights are 1" low but laser grips are dead on. Only a 5 shot but that should be enough for them .357mag hollow points.

Ruger LCR, .38+P...5 shots I hope I never need to use

 

[haywood]

I carry Two of these every day. Normally it's the 442s but I rotate one of the others in now and then. I never carry semi-autos and only have one. I haven't shot it in at least four years.

My EDC is a Model 49 no dash, that was refinished in the 80's with a Teflon coating. It is so smooth, S&W trained gunsmiths think it has a reduced trigger, but it is full power stock!

When bicycling, I've carrying a LCR 38 with factory laser.

When backpacking (not in the last 10 years!) I have a very beat up Colt Agent I use on the hip belt's adjuster straps.

I use Speer Short Barrel +P 135gr. Gold Dots in all my snubs!

I used to carry 1 or 2 speed loaders, but for the last 3 years I've been carrying a 8 round speed strip in a leather belt pouch. A jewelry store owner saw the pouch and said, "Oh, I see you carry a revolver." That is the only comment I ever had!

NAA arms .22 for deep concealment - auto's at other times -

My usual carry piece has been a 1911-style .45 pistol for many years. Months ago I started experiencing disability in my right (strong) arm and wrist, related to ulnar nerve damage that has since been addressed with two surgeries.

In the meantime I have not been able to handle the larger pistols or recoil without pain. Manually operating the semi-auto pistols was difficult at best, impossible at times.

My choice was a 1979-vintage S&W Model 64 stainless .38 Special M&P revolver, round butt, 2" barrel, formerly issued by the Pueblo (Colorado) police department. Relatively light weight, moderate recoil, easily operable in either hand. Having carried a DA S&W revolver as a duty weapon for many years as a cop, there is more than enough "muscle memory" to make the right things happen without strain.

My surgeries were completed about 6 weeks ago and I am recovering well enough. I remain completely comfortable with the S&W 64.

Now working on getting my eyes repaired (cataract surgeries in both). Weekly trips to the range continue to assure me that I can still deliver with the old S&W revolver if I have to.

Looking forward to getting back in the groove with the .45 pistol, and enjoying the new Sig P229 .40S&W I bought just before my body became less than fully reliable, maybe some range time with the new CZ 455 American .22 LR with open aperture sights (and a set of CZ rings and new 3-9X40 scope) that rely on more visual acuity than I can deliver right now.

For the interim period I do not feel unarmed with the 2" Model 64 at my side.

EDC is a model 60-15 3" barrel in .357. I generally carry it in a OWB pancake style holster. It is loaded with Speer 135g .38+P or midrange .357 handloads. It is small, light and easily concealed even under a light pullover shirt which is left untucked.

If I need more gun, out comes the model 69 with the 2.75" barrel which is loaded with .44spl loads. And it is carried in a very similar style holster.

I have several auto pistols th I enjoy shooting, but I have always preferred wheelguns for personal security, since that is what I carried for most of my time as a LEO. Old habits/preferences die hard!

When I feel I need to (sadly because of the questionable neighborhood that I live in), it's always one of my J-frames - my 36, or my 60, or my 637. All in the same kydex IWB made by my LGS, Bare Arms. They curve it on the back and the butt tucks in well, even with Hogue oversized grips.

 

[Kronos]

I've carried all kinds of handguns Glocks,S&W metal frames,S&W M&P strikers,Rugers,FN you name it I might have used it to carry I've even carried a West German P38.

I don't just carry for self defense but as a utility tool in the back country so a few weeks ago I went back to a revolver and picked a M66 four inch,yea a full sized K Frame .357 I haven't been back to town yet but I chose some Focchi 125 gr JHP,out here in my rural area I live in I add a speed strip of shotshell to the two of JHP.

Revolvers are simple tools,no mags to lose,no worry about if a shell will jam it up if I can stuff it in the cylinder it should work fine so I think from now on I stick with this.

 

[dubshooter]

I've got a 442 pro series that's my BUG at work. It's my off duty carry a majority of the time. Occasionally carry a semiauto or a k frame but usually it's that 442

 

[CH4]

I love and carry both equally, it depends on my mood, location of carry and clothing. Sometimes which gun to carry is my toughest decision of the day. That said, I find myself increasingly reaching for my 342PD.

 

[loknload]

Sure do! ,,,,Here it is with some of my others as well...

When I first got my CC permit I went out and bought a 380. Couldnt trust it so I bought a S&W 638 for carry. I recently sold the 380 and bought a full sized 9mm. The 9 is a range, house, car gun. I also have a 605 that gets carried occasionally.

 

[STCM(SW)]

Only auto I CC now is a PPK.
Most of the time it is my M640 357 magnum with Buffalo bore 38 +P.

 

[lkabug]

I love shooting my Semi-autos, however I carry either a 642 or a 940. When I go to the range, both go along with what ever else I take. I shoot two cylinders through each gun as the last part of my range trip. Generally that will be Wednesday of each week. I started my career carrying a revolver (Model 10-5) on a foot beat. Those model 10's have many memories.

 

[JayFramer]

I do, but now how don't perfer them newfangled central firing metal cartridge pistols. I carry tried n' true!

 

[Cal44]

Somehow I got on a 32 caliber kick.

My most common carry is my M431PD. Holds 6 rounds of 32 H&R Magnum. Usually 80 gr Critical Defense from Hornady.

When I feel like a little more power (and weight) I carry my LCR 327. It's also a 6 shooter, but I load it with either Hydra Shok or Gold Dot 327 Federal ammo. That puts me up into the 400 FP energy range.

I recently bought a 340PD which I plan to carry loaded with 357 Magnum 135 gr Gold Dots. It's lighter than either of the 32s.

 

[Lostaro]

Carry a wheelgun every day with confidence and pride.

One (or two) of the following: 442...36...SP101...GP100...and a .41mag Blackhawk if I'm far from the paved roads!

 

[Tilheyra]

I just started carrying, and my gun of choice is a 642.

 

[Donn]

When I pocket carry, it's a Model 49. It goes to the range along with my bottom feeders. Have to stay proficient with anything I carry.
