I own several revolvers, several. I would never carry one for daily defense.

Me.
I wear a SP101 DAO and a S&W 442 as my primaries. I like the simplicity and reliability, as well as the ability to pocket carry. To make it worse I am under 40 years old. |

I mostly carry a 4” 357 magnum. I live rurally and am more likely to shoot wild hogs than about anything else so it makes more sense than a 9mm.
Occasionally I’ll catty 2.5” 357 magnum and I’ve popped pigs with it too. I figure it’ll do for self defense against about anything with pretty good authority. When traveling to the city a red-dot 365 XL gets the nod as there are no sounders of pigs that are stronger and faster than people so a weaker cartridge will do. |

I’m under 40 and considering going to a revolver as my primary. I shoot them well. @03RN seems to be very proficient. |

There’s a smith 357 that I’ve had my eye on. Either a 3” or 4” barrel with woods grips. @Chase45 has one but I can’t remember what model it is. |

I messed up my non-dom left hand 3 years ago real bad and it took me over 2 years of PT before I could work a slide again. I switched to carrying my 3" M65 during the time and was happy to have it. It was much easier for me to work 1.5 handed.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I've never understood why anyone would carry a revolver. If the first round of a semi auto does not go bang because of a bad primer, a revolver will look pretty good at that point. heavier calibers .357mag .41 mag 44 mag 45LC It makes sense where there are large predators. J frame revolvers are really light compact and easy to carry and they go bang multiple times even without leaving the pocket where a small semi auto will jam inside a pocket. There are valid reasons both ways. |

I carry a 340PD in my HPG chest rig while running and rucking. I love revolvers but don't carry them outside of that. Well I do have 442 in my center console but that doesn't count.

When I lived in Tucson I carried a 4" S&W Model 10-5 with boot grips, after a certain incident I switched to a SIG P228.
I've carried a Kahr CM9 since 2017 along with a Microtech Ultratech. |

I leave a .44 in my coat/jacket pocket. Don't have to think about it. Whenever I go anywhere, the last thing I do is throw on the garment and I'm armed, whether I'm carrying my primary on regular errands or taking out the trash.

I throw a 442 in my pockets often. It actually prints less than an LCP. It just looks lumpy like a pair of keys due to the cylinder and curved grips.

If I carry a revolver, it'll be a backup gun intended for if I'm getting taken to the ground and need to press the muzzle against a man's liver for a one-time shot, maybe two.

I regularly carry both my 4” S&W 686 357 mag (won my only gun fight with that one) and a 4 5/8” Ruger old model Vaquero 44 mag. Sometimes my grandpas old 38 snub if just popping into a store by the house. Got a couple autos that rotate through too. Just depends on the day.

I carry a 360pd outdoors, hiking/mountain biking, and a S&W .38 bodyguard daily. Will probably buy a 340pd when I get around to it.
More than comfortable with it. I shot 1,000 rounds through the bodyguard at the range the first year I carried it. Both guns weigh next to nothing and are a breeze to carry even in shorts. You never even notice you have them. |

I carry a .38 Taurus Ultralite or a S&W 686 around the yard and property.
So far I haven't seen anything that's needed 'chootin' but there's lots of critters out here. If I leave the property there's an AR rifle in the Jeep. |

Until the p365 came along. I have a Glock 19 and even it was " to big" to replace the revolvers. |
