Who’s carrying a revolver these days? Let’s show them off...

This one is not on my CCW permit but I carry it in places legal to do so. Sorry but it is a Ruger SP101. All steel, so a bit heavy to carry but really nice to shoot. I had the Wolff Spring Kit added and had a good gunsmith smooth it out. Also added tritium night front sight. This is a good gun for those of us who occasionally stray from S&W.

That's about the sharpest looking SP101 I've seen. Are those Chig's grip inserts? Very nice.
 
Most days I carry my 642-1, because of the light weight, and I shoot it
fairly well. Favorite holster is the little black speed holster by Chic Gaylord.

Sometimes I feel like carrying the Model 10 2" snub nosed revolver, shown
here in a Lawrence 34V Special Agent (pigskin) holster.

Colt's Agent gets an occasional outing. It likes the gator trimmed pancake
by KD. (The extended boot stocks are by Craig Spegel)

Once in a while I carry Charter's Undercover, in this "dog ear" holster,
made for S&W by Wally Wolfram.

Strayed to a Kimber, 1 more shot then the 640 I carried. Kimber is with me 24-7. Andy Horvath is finishing a 3" full lug K frame in .327 that may replace the Kimber. Need to see how a "K" carries. Larry

3" K-frames carry great....... been my standard in a Milt Sparks summer Special since 1986.... first a 65 with bobbed hammer and cut down "banana''grip ...... later and still a 3" 66 with Spegel Boot grips.

Penn's Woods a Bianchi 111 Cyclone cross draw.

Not to big not to small and full extractor.

Good luck Larry ......

When I was introduced to the concept of a New York reload..... I thought the prefect combo would be a 3" 66 backed up by a Browning HP. If 6 .357 don't fix your problem then you're going to need lots of 9mm.(mec-gar 15 rd flush fit mags X2-3 for 31-46rds, )
 
I tried posting this earlier but it disappeared. Sooo, if this is a duplicate, plz let me know.
S&W 624 & 629s reduced.jpg

S&W Lew Horton 29 small.jpg
In the picture of four: The one on the far left is a Lew Horton 624 Combat Special, and one I still have.
The one on the far right is a Trail Boss but with no graphic. :mad:
The second from right was my first one. I was at a Milwaukee gunshow on Friday night to make a purchase and saw it on the table of an older man. There was a box of ammo with 39 rounds in it. I offered a low-ball price because I really didn't want it, and he declined.
I returned to the gunshow on Sunday, Wisconsin 48-hour delaying period, and the gun was still on his table.
At about an hour before the show closed I walked by him again, offering the same low figure. He grimaced and said "OK."
I said "Oh bull-rear-end-effluent!" He threw in the box of ammo.
It didn't take me long, that is, very many rounds, to realize *I* did not like it. When, some years later, a relative saw it and expressed interest I couldn't shove it into his hands fast enough. He likes to take it to the range and hand it to macho-types, after loading it with my full-spec .44Mag handloads. He says not many will shoot a full cylinder of them.
All except the LH 624 I got from guys who had had enough of them. Cheap.
The other pic is a Lew Horton 29-10. With my handloads that make ~850fps with 200gr bullets, it is a good carry gun.
Double rig.jpg
This is my double rig, a 586 on the left, a Python on the right. They use the same M/M holster. Easily carried under light cover.
 
I own and carry an M&P 340 fairly regularly in my left front pocket (I am a lefty) these days when going to the mail box, out with the mutts for a walk on our street or for something close to home. The rest of the time it is a semi auto like a Shield or something bigger than that. I read all the posts all the time about those that are comfortable with a mouse gun because they think that they will never use it and those that think that a 5 shot snub is stiatistically all that they will need for a civilian situation. I am not telling anyone what to do but I would rather have more capacity than less in any situation. Thus, I mostly carry a semi auto these days. Shield 9mm, CZ P-01 Omega, Glock 19, CZ P 10-C, M&P .9mm 2.0 Compact, etc.I find that I shoot the semi autos more accurately than I do the small J frame's .

I live in FL by the beach and when clothing is not appropriate for an IWB rig I usually carry this 337 I picked up from a fellow forum member almost ten years ago. This look familiar to anyone?

One of the four that I posted in #104 above is what I would generally be
found wearing concealed around town.

If you encountered me, not likely, out in the boondocks, I would probably
be carrying one of these in the open. Left to Right.

Model 29 .44 Mag. in Chic Gaylord holster on Chic Gaylord belt.

Model 19 .357 in a Berns-Martin universal speed holster on a ranger style
belt from south of the border.

Model 10 .38 Special in a Lawrence holster on Lawrence cartridge belt.

Model 67 in an El Paso Saddlery Threeperson's style holster on a Bianchi
belt.

You had me a little worried at first with "when clothing is nit appropriate."[emoji51]
