Dude, chill out

LOL, yeah, I did.  Yeesh, I need a Snickers.

Been kicking a little 5 shot smith myself in the lightweight category.   Its light as fuck and easy to forget that you even have it.

Found a pic

It's very nice. I just received it today however. I've got one for my BHP that I've used for years and really like it.

Carrying a 4" really doesn't seem to be bad at all.

AKA the Chicago reload

Fail. That guy doesn't EDC anything other than a quart bottle of ass lube.

This might annoy a few people but hey the op asked....


For every day carry I think a revolver is the ONLY way to go.  

Most gun owners like to pretend they know how an attack is going to happen and tell themselves they will be able to successfully thwart a would be attacker.  
People like to romanticize and pretend that during a spur of the moment fire fight that you will see a would be attacker coming from the distance and have ample time to take out a semi auto, chamber a round, take the safety off, and then aim and fire.  And maybe you can even do that pretty quickly while you practice in the mirror in the comfort of your bedroom.  but I am here to tell you that when shit hits the fan and you are forced to use your gun in a real situation you will probably fumble like most people, and forget any training you had.  In reality a lot of people never even see their attacker until he is on top of you beating you in the face. Keep in mind this is during a full on panic situation where most people start uncontrollably shaking, and their fingers turn to jello and lose all eye hand coordination.  You think you are going to pull out that hidden semi auto and chamber a round and turn off the safety?  Not gonna happen. Its not gonna happen and I have seen more then a few examples of this.   Ive seen people pull out a semi auto and pull the trigger over and over because they are panicking and forgot to chamber a round. or forgot to take the safety off. or forgot to put a magazine in it in the first place!

I like to carry for the worst case scenario and in that worst case scenario imagine you are already being assaulted because someone you didn't see snuck up behind you and hit you  in the back of the head. Now you are on the ground and he assault has already begun before you even got a chance to touch your gun.  

Maybe there is even 2 or more attackers doing this.  Now you are on the ground being punched in the face by one or more attackers and you have literally seconds to act before they render you unconscious. Do you think you gonna have time during this full on panic situation to pull out a semi auto and chamber a round and take off the safety and fire a shot while some big lug of a man is sitting on your chest punching you in the face over and over?  Hell no!  But with a revolver you can grab it out of your pocket point it and just squeeze and there is a pretty good odds that at least one of your fingers will find its way to the trigger.  

In a real dire situation you don't even have to remove it from your pocket. Just get your hand in your pocket and on the revolver, point it in the direction of the guy pounding you and squeeze over and over.   You don't have waste time fumbling with the safety because there is none! You also don't need to waste time trying to chamber a round because a revolver is always loaded.

And that is why I only carry a revolver. There is no safety, it is always loaded with one round in the barrel and it is always just 1 trigger pull away from doing it's job.

I can not tell you how many times I have heard about people whom are trained to use a gun but during a full on panic situation were unable to successfully fire their semi auto because they could not chamber a round or take the safety off.  Like I said before, it's easy to practice this in a mirror in your bedroom. Or do repetitive training at a shooting range, but those are controlled situations where you are not under boat loads of adrenalin and fear.           But its human nature to panic and mess things up. It happens all the time in other areas of life not just gun related self defense.    I carry a revolver to lessen my chances of messing things up.

LOL.

It's 2023, not 1973. Modern semi's dont need a safety and nobody in their right mind carries on an empty chamber.

That's when I carry a revolver. I normally carry a G26, but in the woods I carry a S&W .357 in a Kenai chest holster.

Because it is heavy. Heavy is a sign of reliability. If it won’t fire, I can always hit him with it.

Is this a new copypasta or have I overlooked it?

What are you waiting on before you sell it?

Assuming this isn’t copypasta, can you elaborate on just a few of the multiples times you have witnessed this?

I started carrying in the revolver era. Sure most of the time I'll grab a semi. Days like today I'm hanging around the house in swears and a tee shirt, it's just as easy to throw my 642 in a pocket when I toss a hoodie on to run across the street

last 3 guns i bought were revolvers

might be the next one too

Do you guys understand a lot of semiautos don't have external safety levers, buttons, switches, whatever?  Look at the Glock.


And I carry with a round in the chamber.  Always have.

And not inserting a mag?  Kind of hard not to notice that as my little finger would not have a place to rest.  Now, a revolver?  It would be easy not noticing it was unloaded.

The big plus of revolvers is ultimate reliability and drawing from a pocket (with the right revolver) and/or firing from a pocket without jamming.

Fact is, a revolver is perfectly adequate for 99% of situations where you would need a firearm for self defense.  For the other 1% you would be better off with an AR-15 or by being somewhere else.

They seem to have some advantageous.

Pretty sure during the 13 scare someone put out a video using a bag of revolvers to get the point across.   I have tried to find it but my guess is youtube has eaten it.

Because it's simple, reliable, and is comfortable to carry (which ensures I carry it).  After all, first rule of a gunfight is to have a gun.

I'm in one of the safest places in the country,
and a pocket carried revolver works for me
most of the time.

Something about your gear pics makes me spend money. I bought that exact Ciguera belt because of you. Fucking love it. No homo.

Semper Fi.

5 for sure!

If I carry a revolver, it’d be when hiking.

My hand hurts just looking at that pic.

for what it's worth- my K frame JM holster for a 66 happens to fit a 69 Combat Magnum nicely

which is what I carried today and yesterday

I had no where to go and a speed strip of 44 mag is awesome

It's 2023: WHY ARE YOU ASKING?

And what if I do?

One of these days I'm going to carry my Colt .45LC SAA concealed.

Something like this?

Say. Should I want to change out my 66s grips where should a guy look?

They feel and look decent but I'd be okay looking at some options. I'm not sure I want a small grip like my 586 carry comp but perhaps one just ever so slightly smaller

because all i need is one shot

It’s your inner Dirty Harry. Don’t fight it, embrace it.

Because I have a small penis.

This is just a dumb idea. What is this guy thinking?

2 posts a year and you come to this thread and post that?

Dude.

44 Mag good for bear/cat.  Hibernation for the former is over.

Look for a mernicle holster. Dillon blue press has them in stock.

If I didn't already have Ahrends I'd stick with hogue JM grips. Like on my mountain gun.

eBay & Etsy are good places to start.

I carry this.  

An excellent reason. If I want to, I can walk away from a situation w/o worrying about evidence from the scene coming back to haunt me. Hypothetically, of course.

If you are who I think you are you're my hero.

Are you the guy DB references?

Have several of those. I suggest a 3" as they hide & ride much easier, IMO.

Mine are the Colt Python & King Cobra & a Smith 19C. I always carry two speed loader strips, so 18rds of .357mag. I don't worry one second about being under-gunned.

I don't even own one.
