Anybody Carry A Revolver? - Page 3

Onward Allusion · February 26, 2015, 06:26 PM

My backup is a 8-shot 22LR Airlite. During the summer months, I carry a Taurus 608 when I can.

I was wondering the same thing. But the question here is, if we carry it, or not.

When it's very windy, I carry a hole lot of them. Loaded yes, of course, lead is heavy.

I have tried different grips on my 638. Checkered Altamonts, and non rubber overmould Crimson Trace. I went back to the original S&W grip. The rubber is just tacky enough for a positive grip, and my hand covers it enough that it doesnt cause issues when drawing from my pocket. Since its a .38, crushing recoil, and slipping in my hand, isnt an issue with this revolver, like it would be with a lightweight .357

I carry a 442...just handy to pocket with uncle mikes #4.
Rather it be shorts/pants pocket or a heavy winter coat pocket.
A lot of times it role is bug.

No problems on my end.

Since taking the pic I roughed up by Barami hip grips with some steel wool to give a bit more grips, but with the Tyler Ts and my average sized hands I've no issues at all keeping a firm hold on the gun and it doesn't feel cramped.

I usually carry a semi auto, but sometimes a Taurus 85CH stainless with Altamont boot grips in a Don Hume holster or in my coat pocket.

I'm not one of those two, but I sort of thought the same thing until I tried one. Even with some fairly snappy P+ loads it wasn't a problem to control after all.

Now my wife didn't care for the grips on her 642, but that was more because they were checkered wood and bit into her hand. I put a set of Hogues that have room for a three finger grip on hers, so she's got a little better grip all around. I'm going to try them the next time out myself to see how I like them. They're not really much bigger.

Real Gun · February 27, 2015, 08:10 PM

My choice today was my S&W 657 in 41 Magnum. Yesterday is was a 5" GP100. As a shopkeeper on my own property, I can carry anything I want to, any way I want to. I can also dress to conceal and almost always conceal without worrying about a big gun giving hints poking through my shirt.

subhuman · February 28, 2015, 03:02 PM

this Rossi .44 spc. gets almost as much hip time as my G19 and if the mood is right I have carried both of them

ranchito457 · February 28, 2015, 03:34 PM

I've been getting in the revolver mood lately-When in those moods I carry a SP-101 with 3" in 357-or little Taurus 38 spl. Just got into revolvers a little while ago and see many more coming very soon!!!!

riddleofsteel · February 28, 2015, 05:11 PM

I carry this sweetie when I am in the revolver mood.

Weigand Combat "Tame the Beast" conversion of the Ruger SP101 .357 magnum. It is Hybraported and wears a Hogue coco bolo mono grip.

The porting allows me to put all five 125 grain full power loads on target with almost zero muzzle rise.

egor20 · February 28, 2015, 10:27 PM

In the winter I will on occasion toss a RIA 206 .38 with a bobbed hammer in my parka pocket. My wife does the same thing with her LadySmith .357, although her hammer is spurred.

9x19 · March 1, 2015, 08:50 AM

.44s can be a great alternative in a belt gun...

... though I'm more likely to drop this in a holster instead:

JERRYS. · March 1, 2015, 12:05 PM

when I get the right holster....

Guv · March 1, 2015, 12:40 PM

Sometimes an NEF 2 1/2" 32H&R magnum.

txray22 · March 1, 2015, 06:18 PM

Ruger SP101 .357 or LCR.38. I also have an older SP101 in .38, and it will handle any .38 load out there. It's a tank.

Ifishsum · March 1, 2015, 06:35 PM

My EDC is a Taurus M85UL - I started out with a PT145 which is pretty well concealable, but the revolver is just so much lighter and if I happen to print through a T-shirt carrying IWB, I don't feel like the rounded butt is so obviously a gun as the square semi-auto grip. I also use a SmartCarry quite often and the little revolver is so much less blocky there as well.

eos · March 1, 2015, 07:10 PM

Sure do, I keep an LCR in a lock box in my car. I typically use it when I have to go somewhere after work (can't carry there) and I don't have the option to use my primary carry gun (G26, I keep it at home during the week). Rides in a cheap Desantis pocket holster.

Went with my dad yesterday to the LGS, he picked up an LCR for himself after shooting mine.

Revolvers are still out there, and a lot of people use them every day, no doubt about that.

peggysue · March 1, 2015, 10:59 PM

Taurus M 450 Titanium 45 Colt silver tips in my Simply Rugged Pancake.

MR.G · March 2, 2015, 08:41 PM

Usually a J frame in front pocket.

Dave Chuppa · March 2, 2015, 09:04 PM

I only carry revolvers. I brought a few to Florida for the Winter. The Two that I have carried every day are my LCR357 IWB and 442 in the pocket.

MRYANJ99 · March 2, 2015, 09:28 PM

Ruger LCR in .38 Special in either a pocket holster or cross-draw IWB. Depends on where I'm going or what I'm doing. If I'm out in the woods, GP100 with a 6 inch barrel in a OWB leather holster. Never had a need for it; it just feels nice to carry something that big.
