Your Most Carried S&W

[wood714]

642-1

Holster I had made for my 6906 arrives today, so that's gonna go in the rotation soon.

 

[mm93]

For several decades mine was a early Model 60. Then I finally succumbed to requests from my oldest son to get the Model 60, and gave it to him. I then switched to my Model 59 S&W semiauto and it's been my daily carry gun ever since. I bit bulky, but I do love it, and appreciate the extra number of rounds it holds.

 

[rubiranch]

I always carry my 642-1.



I used to carry my 640-1

 

[haywood]

I'm mostly carrying my 442-1 with the canted barrel right now. It doesn't shoot straight, but it's very light weight, and fits in the watch pocket of my jeans.

67 years old. This is all I carry and shoot these days.

In the house or out, the 640 Pro Series.I just turned 68 on Dec. 7th.

I have a ruger gf32 bi centinal I don't carry anymore. I seen one gf32 that was never in the catalogue without the inscription sell for $750. I figure my 1776 / 1976 model with the inscription is worth more.

What do you do with any manufacturers gun becomes valuable? Funny I been told my ruger bi centinal would never be worth nothing. With the box, paperwork, in s/s in excellent condition I'm thinking about $1,000.

What do you do when the values go up and they become shooters and safe queens? Worth too much to carry.

My most carried S&W is my 940. But, since I got my Sig 365 it does not see as much carry time as it once did.

 

[ABPOS]

It's not really much of a choice for me. I only have one small enough to carry. Well, I guess I could carry my 6" 19 in the woods but I haven't been hunting in years... booooohoooo hooooohooo. It is doing bedside duty though and does that well.

So my carry gun is a 442 and has been since 2014. With about a 10 month hiatus while I carried a G26.

Here is my L-Comp

My prelock L-Comp has the best balance of power, accuracy, weight, size and comfort, especially when carried in my Milt Sparks PMK. Carry ammo is Remington's 125 grain Golden Saber.

I really like the 437 with the bobbed hammer. How do you find the trigger pull in comparison to the 442's?

September '52 Baby Chiefs Special.

That is a very cool custom job

I have a few thousand dry fires plus who knows how many rounds that smoothed the actions. I like shooting them more than my 36 which has less trigger time. My 37 is pretty good also. The 442s get more use so they are a bit more smooth. None have been made lighter.

There's a special grip for those canted barrel S&W's.

 

[F75gunslinger]

My 642 is the only one I currently carry.

3. Ruger Mark 1--used the most--over 200,000 rounds.
Today, now that I am retired, I use my 17-1 the most and carry a 649-2 in my pocket daily.

 

[M E Morrison]

I'm amused by the number of people who can't seem to remember this thread is about S&W guns - not other brands!

 

[CH4]

I have many that I carry fairly regularly, but the most carried are my 627-5 and 640-1.

 

[zzclancy]

Most carried.

Model 21 is what I carry all the time.

Neatest

September '52 Baby Chiefs Special.

I think that's the neatest custom I have ever seen. Too nice to carry.

What gold coin is inlaid in the grips and who did it for you? Very nice.

 

[bronco45]

This one for town!

 

[bronco45]

My favorite, for the country.

 

[Marshal Tom]

M&P 340 in the pocket or my .9mm Shield on the belt.

 

[Pig Hunter]

66 no dash 2 1/2" or 625-8. Or both.

 

[daglockman]

I have carried my Shield a few times concealed IWB, and my 442 once on my ankle, but have carried my 500 in it's case to the range more times that I have CCW'd my Shield and 442.

I am a GLOCKman for my carry gun.

 

[DeafSmith]

S&W 642. Carried very often especially when I wear my jogging cloths. Otherwise I pack a Glock 26 in a cross draw, in the winter.

I go by the summer/winter, main gun/backup, and little gun/big gun concepts.

 

[Old Corp]

I'm a terrible example of sticking with one (or two) guns that you carry and shoot regularly. Depending on mood, time of year which dictates apparel, destination (staying local, going to town, or hunt club area).

BIG difference in Summer carry here where it can be 90+* and 88% humidity and today, when it's windy and 39*.

With all that, have to say I've enjoyed the M640 I picked up when so many here were getting the used ones from Centerfire. Very good value, and great revolver.
A 3" M65 sees a lot of carry time.
And a few kept duty guns from years ago were almost a part of me for
almost 30 years combined, a M66 4", a M1076 and a M4566. We saw alot of mess together.

 

[spdguns]

My 642 hands down. It's beat all to heck from being carried.

 

[Watchdog]

Now that Winter is (finally!) here, this little guy comes along in the pocket of whichever jacket/coat I'm wearing when I'm out walking with the dogs or whatever else I'm doing that requires a coat. It's carried as a backup to my regular carry pistol.
