Your Most Carried S&W

Most carried? 1970 vintage, IIRC, Model 65-1.

Next most carried? 1982 vintage Model 13-3 or 1963 vintage Model 12-2. (Hip problems recently required me to "balance the load" on my belt, so I took the Model 13-3 from the safe.)

Yes, I carry 2 K-frames concealed or open carry without difficulty, and I'm 5'8" and 185/190 lbs.

I bought this 649 in 1995. For 20 years prior to that I had been carrying my blued 49 everyday as a second. After 1995 the 649 was my everyday 2nd gun. And I do mean everyday. It was always on me whether on duty or off duty.
After I retired I prettied it up a bit. Still my most carried gun. Summer time when in tshirt weather for sure it's with me. In winter time when I can carry something a bit larger the 649 is still close by.

This 4006 isn't yet, but it will be.

I saw this a couple months ago at my LGS. I was carrying a Colt DS, 4th issue, and when I went to the city (Portland or Seattle) I'd carry my 39-2. I decided I'd rather have just one to carry all the time, so I talked myself into buying it. I didn't have to try very hard.

More power than the .38 or the 9mm, and holds twice as many rounds as the DS. But the real selling point was that it's stainless. I get sweaty, and I'm in the rain quite a bit.

I've shot it enough to trust it, and it's become my EDC.

And if I ever need an emergency anchor, I'm set!
