Anyone CCW a Revolver?
During the colder months when a longer jacket or coat is preferred, I will carry a revolver that has a bit more power than a summer, thin clothing wear, life insurance policy provides.
 Gonna be a loud & flame producing encounter for a bad guy.

I often conceal carry my S&W Model 66-2 with a 2 & 1/2" barrel in .357 Magnum. I have in the past concealed carry a S&W Model 42 Centennial. An easy to carry speed strip in my pocket provides extra rounds of ammunition.

I often pocket carry my Pinnacle custom S&W 360J 9mm/.38spl convertible. I open carry a revolver when working on my farm or when in the woods, fishing, etc.. Of course, that turns into concealed carry in the late fall and winter months.

LCR 38 Spcl. +P loaded with Speer Gold Dot Short Barrel +P Winter coat pocket carry in a DeSantis Nemesis.
Sometimes IWB Charter Arms Bulldog. Also mostly during colder months. I use a Theis Hybrid IWB holster made for the Ruger SP 101. Fits like it was made for the Bulldog.

Cheapshooter has it almost right
 I opted for LCR357 in a Nemesis in the front pocket, carry load is 38+p, Winchester Ranger Bonded or Remington Golden Saber.

I carry a Colt Cobra or S&W Model 12 revolver concealed on occasion. I'm currently looking to get a Ruger LCR revolver chambered in .327 Magnum. I have an affection for light-weight, compact snub-nosed revolvers having a six-shot capacity.

A Smith Model 36 - usually the snub - sometimes the 3" version. I also carry a Smith Combat Masterpiece OWB at times.

Carried a S&W 642 in my right front pocket today while attendeding a birthday party for my granddaughter. Weather was warm and slightly muggy, so clothing was shorts and a light shirt.
Other times I have carried a Ruger SP101, just because I wanted to carry a revolver. The majority of the time, my EDC is a Glock 26.

I carry a revolver more often than a semi-auto.
Depending on what I am doing/wearing, it cycles between a Ruger SP101, S&W 642, and a S&W 36. As soon as I find a 3" Kimber I may bring that into the rotation and retire the Chiefs Special. I find these smaller revolvers a bit easier to conceal IWB than a semi-auto, which I mainly carry OWB.

I still carry a wheel gun from time to time. I have carried my J, K, L and even a few N frames depending on the weather and where I'm going.

I carried a 642 for many years, but I can't honestly say that I enjoyed practicing with it. Eventually bought a Glock 26 for increased capacity, more comfortable shooting, and, for me, better accuracy. The 642 fell into such disuse that I moved it along. Sacrilege to some, I know, but even though I was raised on revolvers, I have grown to prefer semis for carry.

When I carry at all, it's either a S&W 642 in a pocket holster or a S&W 64, 2" k-frame in a pancake holster on my belt.

I am always amused by that "... in the summer... in the winter..." business. Do you really think someone who might be out to kill you will care what season it is when he does his deed?
If you need to carry, you carry what you need to carry. Wearing a jacket in the summer might look odd, but holes in your precious bod will look even worse to the medical examiner. If you don't carry because it will be uncomfortable, then you really don't need to carry. Leave the gun at home, and be comfortable. Jim |
