Those who carry revlovers

Which ones do you carry? I'm a Ruger person, just something about them that draws me. I have a 4" GP100, too heavy, and a SR9c that I really bought to carry but really like the idea that if the gun doesn't fire on that pull just pull the trigger again which you can't do with a semi-auto. I know, I know more ammo in a semi-auto and my SR has never jammed at all but. Plus revolvers just look better to me. Looking at a LCR 357, a SP101 short barrel in 38 or 357 or one of the old Ruger 6 series if I can ever find one. What do you think revolver folk? My step-daughter just bought herself a pink hammer-less S&W 642 38 to carry. She hasn't shot it yet.

My most often carried CCW is a Smith & Wesson model 337, which is a 5 shot aluminum/titanium/stainless 38 snubby. It weight 11 ounces empty and disappears in a pocket. The closest current production model to it would be the 637, it's like the 642 but without the shrouded hammer. I carry my 337 in a Mika pocket holster.
About the closest comparable Ruger would be the LCR, and it's much larger and bulkier. I also have a Ruger SP-101 but it's a lot heavier and requires a holster to carry it comfortably.

best thing about a revolver is , its up to you where your spent shell casings are left at !!!:ThumbsUp

Have both revolver Taurus 357 mag and Browning semi-auto!! Both are good and will do the job!!But am a Rifle/shotgun.. Just my two cents (not worth much) but a handgun has a short barrel and is hard to keep in front of you on the target espically the semi-auto.The revolver gives me a little more time to aim(find the target) and hit what I am aiming at!! The revolver is safer around Kid's also keep one empty chamber vs the semi-auto your trusting a safety to keep from accidentaly going off(firing)!!! Again just my two cents worth!!! Thanks for keeping us free!!!!

I like that sp101! Don't carry it a whole lot, but I do like how it choots.

I have a charter arms undercover with the smooth hammer,i can carry it in pocket and it wont hang up, I have had it for over 30yrs.

I have several revolvers around the house just in case but I don't CC any of them. My everyday carry is the G23, lightweight, reliable and powerful. If I have to wear a shirt and tie, I carry a Kel-tec PF9.

That sounds like a way to dress up .

I have dual G36's and Keltec .32 on my person at all times when not at work. I also have various weapons in the house in case someone knocks on the wrong door....:biggrin

I have a SW air weight stainless hammerless in .38 caliber. It's a real good carry gun. In auto I have a sig p238

Colt Detective Special 38

Depends on how I'm dressed for which one I carry.

I aint coming poaching your guys lakes.

Thats a good one!!

I've had a S&W Chief Special .38 for years. I've always liked it cause of the small frame which fits my hand really well. I decided to go with a higher caliber after hearing about the woman who shot the man coming after her & her two kids in their home. She shot him 5 times in the head and chest with the same gun I have and he kept coming. Of course, this model only holds five shots. She slowed him down and got her kids away to a neighbor, but he still managed to get out of the house, into his car and drive a short way before getting out and collapsing (not dead). I now have an XDs .45 and a Sig P250 9mm. If I'm ever in a life threatening situation and shoot somebody, they better NOT be able to get up and keep coming at me.

I've got a GP100 and a SR9c I keep loaded in the house, the GP loaded with 6 38+P until I can find some 357 HD ammo, the SR9c has 17 rds of 9mm with a back up 10 rd mag. so don't feel under gunned at home. I suffer from the dreaded disease no-ass-a-tall so I need something light to carry, have a hard time normally keeping um up. Was by the LGS on the way home from town today and dry fired a S&W 642 and a Ruger LCR, both hammer-less and the Ruger had the better trigger to me. The stubbie will not be a gun that gets a lot of use other than carry, the GP is a dream to shot. Like I said I just like a revolver best, arthritis has a hold on my hands and it's a pain to rack a slide most times.

Vonna, it must have been fmj ammo and no speed loaders with the owner.

.32 Beretta Tom Cat/hollow points

I have a Rossi .44 that I carry in the cooler months- but carry a small auto during the summer. Taurus at one time made several big bore/small frame revolvers, but not sure if they still do.

I bought a hipoint 9 off Craigslist and it was on cheap like. Best part is I can chunk if need b cause it aint in my name. I need some bulets thow. Anybody got some for good deal?

I gots a Rossi .357 with a 6 inch barrel in the truck. Shoots real good

Steve.....I am a Ruger man also but.....I really like Colts also....great guns
