Why do YOU carry a revolver?

[oldafsp]

Asked of me at the LGS today.

It only took a second to formulate my answer:

"If it was good enough for John Wayne, Jack Webb and Broderick Crawford...it's good enough for me."

The only name he knew was John Wayne...pity.

Because they go "bang" more often than semi autos.

I would have said Ed McGivern and Jerry Miculek, but that's just me.

 

[doublesharp]

A cop's too heavy.

 

[P&R Fan]

Because there are very bad people out there and a kind word does not always work on everybody.
Right now I'm not carrying "A" revolver. I'm carrying two.

Simple. It works. It always works. It's small. It's small enough that I always have it with me. And, most importantly, it works.

I generally carry my 642 in the right front pocket of my jeans, cargo shorts or other "pants." On Sundays, I carry in an ankle holster on my left leg in dress pants or docker-style pants.

And, of course, it always works. No break-in periods, no FTFs, no malfunctions, no problems.

I carry a Revolver because that is what "Real men" carry and I are one too.

1. My Model 36 is my only pocket gun.

2. I like them.

 

[10mmauto]

Because I can't always carry a rifle.

 

[diamonback68]

Because I'm too danged old to swing a bat and not dumb enough to get too close to a knife fight.

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Indiana George]

Simplicity & reliability.

 

[sps282]

Because the Remington 870 doesn't fit in my pocket!

That is the only "larger than a J frame" I have ever been tempted to buy!!!

If this thread is about revolver vs auto it's KISS (keep it simple stupid)

If this thread is about why I carry a gun it's about punctuation after saying the word NO..... 5 periods from a 642

 

[Black_Sheep]

because I can...

 

[wildfiresrozes]

..because I can count on 'em.

 

[DeathGrip]

Big Bang X Six.
Good enough for me.
That'll get me to something else.Or not.I don't want to find out.
YMMV.

 

[Chik a Boom]

Because it's simple enough for a Blonde.
